"ANTHONY JOSHUA WILL KNOCK OUT DEONTAY WILDER!" - Eddie Hearn

[Willow The Wisp]

If Usyk looks good against Dubois, then probably not.

Frank Warren let something slip in an interview when he got annoyed because the interviewer kept asking him about Fury vs Usyk, when Frank clearly wanted to talk about what a huge, huge, massive, massive MASSIVE event Fury vs Ngannou was going to be. He said there was no point talking about Fury fighting Usyk, because Usyk was going to get knocked out by Daniel Dubois. The interviewer then asked him if he could guarantee that Fury would fight the winner of Usyk vs Dubois. Warren angrily replied that it depends who the winner is. Not very encouraging, eh?

That's not surprising for a promoter seeking to promote the next event that he is already invested in.

I wonder which event would sell the most???
Fury v Ngannou
or
Fury v Usyk


We as Boxing aficionados understand which one is more important; the one that unifies the Heavyweight titles, of course.

Or is it?
What if Fury - Ngannou is highly entertaining and unifies the combat sports fanbase a bit more? I suppose that's important too, ya?

If the title is unified, by anyone; the clock starts ticking for when the stripping begins. Chances are that re-fragmentation will commence before the unification winner retires.

That's sad, but true; and it tempers the overall importance of full unification, regrettably, as being both fragile and temporary.

But thankfully, at Heavyweight, the Alpha weight class, we have Liniage. It is that alone that matters to any serious follower of the sport, and nothing else does.

They'll always be adding new sanctioning bodies, belts and weight classes, producing a multitude of title whice are hard won and easily stripped.

These are short careers these athletes have, and entering the workforce at 40 is tough. ALL of them should be selling their rare talents to the highest bidder. Both Fury and Dubois should and go for the easy money of whipping a novice boxer who became famous by beating up wrestlers & kickboxers.

Will Fury fight Usyk???? I imagine he will.....If Usyk is still around in January. Afterall, Fury fights em' all if they don't lose on the lead-up.

It's hard to believe that a guy who calls himself a boxing fan should be advocating for top boxers fighting wrestlers in circus clown shows, rather than each other in a boxing ring.

Are you going to be spending any of that easy money you're wetting your panties over?

Lineage means absolutely nothing.

Why is Tyson Fury the lineal champ and not Lennox Lewis?

Lennox never lost the imaginary lineal title in the ring, so how did Fury end up with it?

Fury became lineal champ by beating Wlad Klitschko?

So who did Wlad beat to become lineal champ?

There is no such thing as a lineal title. You have been conned.
