Comments Thread For: Usyk's Promoter Vows To Do Everything Possible To Get Fury in The Ring

[786]

I wouldn't say they did "everything" the first time, could've just accepted the first offer which was slightly better than what he got in his two fight deal with AJ but they tried to call shots and add stipulations; Fury has to pay 1mil to Ukraine, the rematch has to be 70-30 for Usyk and then pulled out when it was suggested to forget a rematch clause.

I can see why, and Fury was being difficult but Usyk's team weren't acting like they'd do "everything" to get the fight made.Having said that, I doubt Fury wants to be in any more competitive fights and I think he'll be doing these exhibitions and crossover fights until he retires.

He did retire, Usyk is the HW champion of the world, he became so by beating AJ who beat Wlad when they were the top 2 rated fighters after Fury's retirement. He is the WBC champion which is just a trinket now since they allow him to fight UK journeymen who he's friends with for defenses.

Somebody needs a history lesson.
Ask nicely and I can provide one.

A free hint: Sanctioning bodies are a for profit, self appointed (non) authority who have never, ever been afforded an ability to decide who the HWCOTW was. They are merely a promotional tool.

Whatever titles Wladimir Klitschko owned; Fury took. Strait forward reasoning.

When you retire whether for an hour, a year, or permanently you vacate all championship lineage

But, that's not law or precedent. It's......nothing.

Anyway, they need to settle it in the ring to get everyone back on the same page with the history.

Then the alphabet organizations can start their stripping process for the winner, and crown false champions. Again $$$$$$$

Yes it is precedent, are you saying that if Lennox Lewis just decided to come out of retirement he would instantly be reinstated at lineal HW champion?

No, he woul not be. Voluntarily retired 3+ years, like Jeffries.

Usyk's team should just forget Fury, he's a clown taking part in circus fights. Hopefully the WBC will strip him and he'll be completely out of the picture.

Usyk needs to fully focus on not getting bulled into a loss by Dubois.
if he's impressive today, he'll have earned Tyson Fury's attention. A close UD might not be enough.
