Fury sweating somewhere tryin to think another way out of this fight. Maybe give a call to WBC so they make Charr his mandatory?

I respect Usyk more than any other active fighter. He will truly fight anyone, anywhere. He’ll fight on the road, he’ll take the smaller piece of the pie, he’ll fight at a significant size disadvantage. A true throwback fighter.

I’ve been a Fury fan for years but I genuinely hope Usyk scores the upset here.

I hope it gets finalized. Fuck do I respect Usyk.

So listening to this again, Usyk says he'll take it if Fury donates a million pounds immediately after (i.e. publicly in the ring) to the Ukrainian people.

The second part is less clear. I don't know if he wants Fury to agree that every day that he/Fury delays the fight past April 29th, an additional 1% of his purse is donated to the Ukrainian people ... or if he wants Fury to agree that every day that he delays donating that he has to add 1% of his purse.

regardless, the latter is likely for Fury saying he would take off 1% of the offer for every day that Usyk delayed accepting the offer

It seemed pretty obvious to me that he meant fury takes 1% less for each day that fury delays it past April 29. In context, Usyk is saying, "I'll take the lowball because I want to fight. So stop stalling, and all the smoke and mirrors, and lets get it on."

Usyk was never in the politics, he was avoiding this mess as he's from Crimea, poor guy, i wish him all good but i think he's caught by some british, american and ukranian services, if you dont do that - you'll lose your family, how about that

Looks like the fight might be on.

He was always going to accept it. Do you really think fight has been made in 3 hours. They've just been hyping it for the promotion. Usyk was never going to go fight mandatories for the fraction of the amount.

tremendous

Doesn't matter. Fury still isn't signing squat, especially not with the demand that he donate to Ukraine. If he is demanding so much that even if Usyk takes a 0/100 split they'll still lose money, he's ducking. You feel free to get your hopes up, but I'm not buying anything that Fury is trying to sell here.

May have to eat my words with this one...
