Back on Team Fury, who’s with me?

[miniq]

If you don't stan Tyson Fury you're not a boxing fan

[_Rexy_]

Nah. I'm still not convinced it's happening.

Usyk my ride or die

[removed]

Hell yeah I'm Team Fury.

Forcing Usyk to take a 30% split is an alpha move.

Nobody said that except himself

No fans believe him when he says that stuff

Usyk said he would fignt Fury for free a few weeks ago.

Bull****ting is a part of the sport.

go team fury all the way

Yeah he’s a bit of diva in his approach at times but which A sides haven’t flexed their muscles to get bigger splits? They all do.

Look the facts…

he chased Wlad for years and then beat him.

Fought Wilder 6 months after a 3 year drug binge and losing 150lbs. People said that fight won’t happen. Then he smashed him up in a rematch, when many said the rematch won’t happen

Bizarrely, he was accused of not wanting to fight Dillian Whyte by many people, then whooped him

Now he’s going into an undisputed fight. No previous champs were really THAT serious about wanting undisputed. They always say if fighters want the fight it’ll happen.

Fury is scared of NOBODY, he’s just a cunning business man and just secured himself 70% of a huge purse because he always had Usyk over a barrel financially.

He’s one of few fighters that is taking belts off long reigning champs and now making undisputed fights, even if it’s a bit tedious watching the process of it getting made.

had he completely avoided the fight then I’d criticise him all day but a fighters being shrewd business men and securing a bigger purse is nothing to be too angry about, it’s prize fighting. Usyk would do the same if he could, hence his team offering Joe Joyce 7%

I don't usually go in for quoting myself but ...

The 7% offer to Joyce had nothing to do with Usyk wanting more money for that fight and everything to do with him getting the fight he really wanted, which was his WBO mandatory shot at AJ. It was a deliberate, tactical low ball aimed at prolonging negotiations with Joyce until the Fury/Wilder arbitration was settled. Usyk knew that if Wilder won the arbitration, the WBO would order AJ to fight Usyk immediately and the interim title fight between Usyk and Joyce would be cancelled, which is exactly what happened.

I don't usually go in for quoting myself but ...

Did he or didn’t he offer a low amount as part of some motive?

so he’s happy to play the financial game when it suits him, regardless of the motive

Hopefully Denium is still on board, I think me and him were the only forum members that said Fury would beat Wlad.

I've been supporting Fury here at least as long as Denium and I won money on him vs Wlad. I won't be supporting him vs Usyk though.

Usyk is the reason this historic unification fight will be going down at Wembley in April. Fury, the self proclaimed Man Of The People, did everything in his power to fuck it up and deny his people the fight they wanted to see.

Slava Usyk!

I didn't see it like that. What I saw was Fury trying to weasel out of the fight by making a purse demand he didn't think Usyk would accept and having his bullshit bluff called by a real fighting man.

Team Usyk! Hopefully he beats that big fat dosser.
