Comments Thread For: Usyk: Tyson Fury Doesn't Want This Fight But We Will Make It

[Goatintheboat]

The WBC needs to talk about Fury being stripped if he isn't going to fight anyone. No one's good enough, or his team don't want anyone to get paid fair. He's got the division on hold worse than Covid did.

What are you on about? Fury fought his mandatory in Whyte giving him 18 months until the next one was to be called. WBC started that process well with the Wilder and Ruiz eliminators but have failed to progress the final eliminator between the two. Any fight they are talking about until then is just a voluntary and at Fury's discretion.

Really interesting development. What does this mean for both the Poland fight and the mega pint fights in Saudi? Do they have any other fighters? Are they planning on signing other fighters? Do they need Hearn anymore? Will this complicate things even more with Fury?

Dubois is not fighting Usyk in Poland. He's injured. Usyk could have easily petitioned the WBA to replace Dubois with Wilder months ago but he's terrified of getting knocked out into next week and jeopardizing the undisputed fight with Fury in December. He admitted that Wilder is the tougher fight for him in this interview (time-stamped at 17:32) and plays into the deception of "being forced" to fight Dubois.

Saudis have over 100 mill purse... Will it be enough to tempt greedy belly?

This comment makes no sense at all. Dubois has been medically cleared to fight and Usyk has been ordered to fight him by the WBA.

That's not a deception .. that's a fact.


"Usyk could have easily petitioned the WBA to replace Dubois with Wilder months ago ... "

Really?

Since when has a champion had the right to petition a sanctioning body and ask for a different mandatory challenger if he doesn't like the one they've ordered him to defend against?

Usyk is really good but he isn't match for Fury.

I agree. No matter how many people say Fury is ducking or whatever. When we're talking actual fight in the boxing ring, I don't believe Usyk can win this.
