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

Ever since SA started throwing money around like it was confetti, nobody wants to make a fight unless they get that oil money.

Almost a guarantee Fury “retires” after this fight; “retires” meaning Usyk, Zhang, anyone with basic boxing fundamentals will be forever ducked in favor of Floyd-style exhibitions.

We have now entered the worst era of boxing where youtubers and exhibitions get more coverage than matches like crawford/spence. I did not think that HW boxing could get worse than the Klitschko era...I was wrong.

I hope this PED cheat relapses on ******* and leaves boxing. Bad for boxing.

Get a life dude. I can see boxing fans being pissed off about this but what does that say about you that you would wish that upon him just because you'll have to find something else to get drunk to on a Saturday night...

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?

Not ignorant. There's not necessarily a rhyme or reason to what the WBC feels like doing. Normally there would be a set timeframe and mandatory challenger. But since they haven't designated one since Dillian Whyte, who Fury fought, there's nothing to enforce or strip. There was an attempt to get a fight between Wilder and Ruiz for the mandatory and that never happened. As I stated, even Usyk's manager stated he's not breaking any rules with regards to fighting a mandatory because they haven't designated one. Should they have? Of course. But they haven't and here we are... We can all draw our own conclusions with regards to what kind of "legitmacy" the WBC has...

Hahahahaha! Can’t make it up. The lineal champ fighting a debutant and some drooling baboons wearing propeller hats actually defend this.

This farce is a fight as much as Fury vs Braun Strowman.

Fury is the biggest embarrassment in boxing history. Charles Martin walking this earf like a gawd is still a more worthy champion than the Tipsy King.

At this point Fury has accumulates so much bad karma he deserves the biggest hail mary of all time by Ngannou landing and putting his lights out.

”Who else is there?” says Warren xD google boxrec heavyweight and pick a name from the list. Genius.

Boxing is pretty much WWE but with gloves on.

Social media is going F*****G CRAZY right now. Fury vs Ngannou is doing big numbers over many platforms. Haters you better just deal with it lol.

[shenmue]

These last two years have been a complete farce and a waste for fury, two washed up fighters last year and just one fight this year vs a novice.

Usyk hasn't been active either, just a disappointment all round.

I mean it's not the fight we wanted but what other options are there at this point? It's a quick cash grab and should be over in under 5 when Ngannou gasses out. Usyk is fighting DuBois lmao the same DuBois who quit against Joyce and got a gift stoppage against an undersized South African cruiserweight but it's a good title defense to some. Joshua is fighting someone on short notice that he already knocked out but it gets a pass as well.

Everyone knew Ngannou was looking to fight one of the big 3 (Fury, Wilder or Joshua) I'm ok with this should be an easy win for Tyson and hopefully early next year we can get that undisputed fight.

And I don't even like Fury he's a clown who faked depression and continues to abuse alcohol and ******* after writing a book about his downward spiral from "substance abuse", but it's still a sellable fight and he's the best heavyweight at the moment so he can get a money fight.

I agree, I mean what can we do, there are only about 1500+ pro heavyweights, poor Fury has nobody to fight, he must fight UFC guy.
