    guess from furys perspective yes but this stuff only makes the sport look like a joke, it reflects worse on boxing than MMA

      Probably yes, but I am a boxing fan and I want boxers to fight boxers.

      It is like Messi and Argentina playing a soccer game against a team of table tennis players.

        This isn't conor mcgregor, this guy's name isn't well known at all and definitely most ufc fans probably can't spell it. The UFC heavyweight division has never been popular, the most famous heavyweight ever is brock lesnar and that's because of wwe.

        So I don't think it's a good business move at all, I think it's quick cash that will do his career damage not just because it's an easy fight but because I think it will flop relatively speaking and will actually devalue fury for the next Saudi fight
        Naz’s assessment is accurate in that most would rather see Fury-Usyk, it is a pointless fight because Ngannou isn’t a boxer and it’s “good business” because Fury is likely to earn a lot of money for an easy fight.

        Those are the points Naz made and all fairly accurate.

        Clowns because most replies before mine clearly didn’t read everything Naz said and were commenting based off the headline.

        I hope you’re right, it flops and forces Fury to take a real fight but the UFC fans will be all over this and there are enough Fury fans out there who’ll be paying for this bull****.

          Maybe they will but I don't know guy's really not some superstar, I'm sure their purse is probably guaranteed.

          The real thing that bothers me is that fury announced this after the whyte fight, now they're acting like it's this or nothing as nothing else is available.

          Then there's the time frame this crap is on at the end of October so he's fighting once a year and opponents are getting weaker.

            It's ridiculous. I've been thinking for a while that Fury no longer wants to be in any competitive or dangerous fights; he was saying that after the third Wilder fight. When he 'retired' after fighting Whyte he said he might still do exhibitions and crossover fights and that's what seems to be happening.

            He may come back against Usyk next year but it's got to the point where it's either fight Usyk or retire because people are sick of his ****.
