    The WBC should have it clear that Fury has 12 months for mandatory fight. So if he takes soft voluntary now, can't expect to get pass for Saudi next time

      Really? You think those two fighters are a THREAT? Ones a typical southpaw and the other is undisciplined.

        I like your ability to read something, disregard it and then try to start an entirely different conversation.

          Most likely. But only if Zhang is prepared to fight for a very small portion of the pot.

          Fury will fill an arena and sell PPV against people who offer far less risk. And there are plenty of fighters in that category.

          Just have a look at boxrec.

            The WBC is such a mess they wouldn't be able to order a mandatory within another 12 months.

            Is Wilder v Ruiz still an ordered final eliminator? Because it's clearly not happening.

            Next in line is Joshua! That's not going to be a quick fight to get done either.

              Usyk was the only fight with real meaning. I don’t see Ruiz having a chance, getting into shape or even looking at it as anything more than a pay day. Id be more than fine with a fourth Wilder fight. They will always be exciting. Fury has gone full Heel. Might as well fight Nganou or something.

                This is true. Fury will fight another Chisora level guy and his fans will claim he beats everybody around.

                I doubt Fury beats Zhang, to be honest.

                  I don’t think Zhang would be expensive.

                  That’s why I think he’ll be next, easy fight, easy money.

                    Fury is destroying heavy weight boxing at the top, with all of these ridiculous purse demands which Usyk called his bluff on, and passing on Ruiz. He won't even mention Hrgovic who beat Zhang. Hrgovic would beat Fury down. Now that Zhang is 40 he might take the fight, but the problem is he can fight and hit, and big belly and captain love handles ( Fury ) won't take those fights.

                    I say strip Fury if all titles.The fans want to see major fights.
