Early 2024 means December 2024.

Early 2024 means December 2024.

It depends if Fury can get his PMS under control... hopefully we can get a true Undisputed in Heavies, after King Wlad!

Boxing really needs a heavyweight boost , Fury gave us that with the three nail biters with Wilder but since it's been bleak , Wilder v Joshua would be a start but we really need to see the main course , not the starters ..

It seems Frank Warren & Fury are are waiting for Usyk to slow down and show slippage.

I think they saw it in the Dubouis fight and hence stoking the flames of hope by saying, yes the plan was late 2024 all along.

You have to be careful with that tactic though, because Fury is not getting younger himself.
Team Spence (I feel) waited for Crawford to age, but he just got better instead.
Usyk will only get worse in a year or two, due to his style of training/fighting but Fury can show even greater slippage.
Especially not fighting credible boxing opposition.

why is flubby quoted recently as saying hes not optimistic so? hes the only guy whos throwing shade on the fight when everyone else is saying yeah lets get it over the line this time, if talks have been dragging on for 6 months then u can be not optimistic i would say, they havnt even started discussions yet

Exactly! This fight will never happen. If worse comes to worse, Fury can count on Sulaiman and the WBC to give him cover by saying they won’t sanction a unified fight

Not a Fury fan here. Like a poster once wrote, watching him fighting is like watching a bear dancing; amazing that such a big man has that kind of footwork and coordination, but he really can't help not to look aesthetically ugly and clumsy. Usyk on the other hand is a terrific pugilist, very accurate and smooth with his shots, a pleasure to watch boxing.
That said i'm 100% confident that Fury, if they fight, is gonna wreck Usyk. Diffrently from Joshua and Dubois, Fury knows how to use his size both from the outside (infinite reach) and the inside (mauling), he cuts the ring preatty well and when he sits on his punches, he can seriously hurt anyone.
Usyk simply doesn't have the power to keep at bay for 12 rounds someone that went unscarred through 30 rounds and several knockdowns against a puncher like Wilder, and prevent him to keep digging into that vulnerable torso of his. To me that is what their fight would be in a nutshell...

Fury will show up if the paycheck is there. So either 50/50 or 60/40 in Fury's favor or the fight won't happen. Considering Usyk sold himself out to the Saudi's I don't think Fury will be the problem.

So i guess all the talk about a Dubois rematch flew out the window.
