Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Francis Ngannou Set, Oct. 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

[LaidOut]

This is expected of this clown Duckson Fury. Just as importantly, why is no one talking about the 28 October date???? By waiting so long to fight a 0-0 boxer, he basically eliminated any chance of the Undisputed fight in December or January. Duckson is a POS, and that's that.

Aren't there rules about ratings and title defenses? I mean, aren't even voluntary defenses supposed to be against top rated opponents?

[kafkod]

will they be using MMA gloves?

Ngannou using MMA gloves, Fury wearing his famous floppy green gloves with eggweights in them.

Now that would be a game changer!

Since when did Fury have the best chin in boxing?!

While I'd rank guys like GGG and Canelo at the top, considering he's the only one to survive, get up and win after taking Wilder's full force, I'd say he has a pretty stout beard.

So not even with some kind of hybrid rules?

I've always been a fan of his, especially when he first started his comeback at 400lbs. Sure, as a boxing fan I'm pretty disappointed in this (and in not making the Usyk fight) but it's funny how so many nobodies in a forum comment section think they have a say in how someone earns a living. "POS." "Hope he decapitates him." Damn, disappointed in your own miserable lives much? The WBC is too often a complete joke but Wilder WAS supposed to fight Ruiz for the mandatory spot (not that I have any interest in seeing a 4th Fury-Wilder fight). Not sure what happened there...

It is funny how when Wilder mentioned fighting Ngannou everyone was riding his nuts... Read the comments.

Now that Fury is actually DOING it everyone wants him to drop dead.

Honestly, I'm not mad at this because I'm happy that Francis will get a major payday. He deserves it. The only thing I didn't like is how Tyson accused fighters like Usyk of not wanting to fight him when he was planning a Francis fight all along. I'm a fan of Tyson's story but recently he's been acting wack. I think he realizes that a fight against Usyk would threaten his reign as the Lineal/WBC Champ. I think Usyk has more dog in him and would want the fight more than Tyson would. Again, just don't like how he accused Usyk of ducking him when we all know he didn't want the smoke.

I’d watch if it’s with the MMA gloves ,if not it has no relevance at all and it’s throwing money away . No way am I paying for a boxing match with a non boxer wearing boxing gloves with a guy who runs away from undisputed with multiple guys like it’s the plague .

Furys already changed the game by being the first guy to my knowledge to avoid Undisputed twice in one era ?

What happened there was that, after Wilder and Ruiz ignored the WBC's order for them to fight each other for the mandatory shot, the WBC just kind of forget about it and Sulaiman announced that Fury didn't have to worry about mandatory defences.

This is weak. Wbc should strip Fury. Francis isnt even ranked but we k ow how corrupt slob jr and the wbc are so Ngannou will magically appear on their rankings.

Strip him for what? I can understand the fans disappointment but why would the WBC strip him? Even Alexander Krassyuk said he's not breaking any of their rules. His last mandatory was Dillian Whyte and they've since yet to appoint another mandatory. Should they have? Sure, but they haven't... Wilder was supposed to fight Ruiz for the next mandatory spot and that never happened so here we are...
