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

[Smash]

fury said he wanted 500 mil for usyk but hes willing to take less for easier fights, makes perfect sense in the fury world i guess

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...

Sure there's still time October / November from what I recall with the 18 month timeframe.

I pray to all the 5000 deities in the sky that Ngannou pulls it off and puts the final nail in the coffin on the **** show that's called boxing.

Better now than later. After this, unification is the only option for Fury and Usyk.

I would give Francis a chance if it wasn't for the fact they said Joyce was battering him in sparring.

But this is a fighting man who will fight anybody born from his mother bla bla or whatever nonsense he says

I imagine I am just ignorant here, but shouldn't he be stripped of any belts for this? What kind of legitimacy would a sanctioning body have it is allows its champion to fight a dude who is 0-0?

That's how much time the dosser needs to get in shape for a bum, Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha, pathetic!

I had forgotten about this.

Just goes to show you how slimy the business is.

Did he know though? I'm not sure.

That whole Fury-Usyk thing seems weird to me, I don't think either of them wanted it that much in all honesty.

But of course this fight here is a joke. Money grab nothing more.

What a load of bollocks ......

Is this an eliminator to fight Floyd on a helipad lol? Total farce. Talk about protecting his 0 and trying to pad that farcical legacy
