Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I'm Not Going To Sit Around And Wait For Geezer Tyson Fury!

We only know what we hear and there are contradictions to what both sides say. You could be correct, but then again there could be more to it. In any case it's a useless debate, so I will yield to you.

No need to yield, you're right. The lack of information and opposition from Usyk's team makes the statements made from Fury's wacky team seem credible painting a bad image on the entire situation. There's no need to debate when the fight isn't happening and both sides look bad in some way.

It's not "if", that's what happened! The reason why the fight got called off is because Usyk's team was the one making new demands.

This is the one time Fury obviously wanted the fight because he agreed to Usyk's demand of a rematch. Usyk got mad because Fury still wanted the bigger percentage in the event of a rematch. Usyk was obviously cashing out.

Joshua just needs to do his own thing, without any Championship belts or Championship requirements 'He can charted his own path more than at any other point in his career'.

There are a lot of fighters out there, who would desired to fight Joshua over Wilder, Fury, Joyce and Usyk etc.

If his motive is one fight and then move on, win or lose then that would make sense. I still feel he doesn't want to fight Usyk.

Usyk demanded the rematch clause. Fury wanted zero rematches so he could move one regardless of a win or loss.

I still believe what I stated is the case. Why else would Fury demand a rematch clause where he still gets a 70/30 split? He's doing everything he can to prevent the fight.

Not really considering Fury gave him the rematch and then Usyk got mad when Fury allegedly stated he would still be the A side in the rematch.

If Fury wasn't confident in beating Usyk why would he want zero rematch clauses, win or lose? Also if he wasn't confident he wouldn't have given Usyk the requested rematch.

Then there's also the fact the fight would have happened in a couple weeks. Fury's team said that's enough time, Usyk on the other hand decided to abandon the fight for no reason.
It says more about Usyk than Fury.

What a lot of ****e. He's agreed to the 70-30 purse split, which was the biggest hurdle. That on its own should have been enough to get the fight done. Fury has the lions share of the money and home advantage, and yet they still can't get it made. At the very least he should have made some concessions in good faith to get the fight done.

Can you not read? Usyk made more demands after accepting the 70/30 split.

Another possibility is that Fury isn't all that confident that he would win against Usyk.
