Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk Reportedly Sign Contracts as Showdown Nears

Turncoat!!!

I’m a massive Usyk fan. Probably my favourite active fighter and if he beats Fury it puts him in some serious conversations amongst the ATG’s.

Fury’s attention wh*** behaviour has turned me off him recently too- plus I hate this exhibition stuff.

[Eff Pandas]

I've literally seen him say in one interview he's retiring and in another the same day he's fighting until 40. It's just how he is.

of course this fight was always happening, it was just never happening in England early this year for a far less money than the Saudis can offer. Neither team truly wanted to lose that Saudi money.

People really think Fury is afraid to fight Usyk? He won all his world titles on away soil. Chased Wlad for years until Wlad was left with no choice or vacate. He went to USA a few months after coming back from a 3 year drug binge and losing 140lbs and was 50% fit when he took Wilder on.

Yet people think he was afraid of a former cruiserweight? Yeah sure.

Like any major boxing star, give them the right deal and they'll fight. They didn't become stars by being scared but they get so big that they know their worth.

This in general is an underrated opinion it often feels like. Ppl project their own school day beefs onto guys who've been fighting as a fooking job for decades in some cases. You don't get far in boxing by being scared to fight. Anyone legit thinking Fury or any other top 10 type guy got where they are by being scared is being ridiculous.

Usyk by decision and pretty comfortably at that.

EVERYONE should know by now you can't follow Tyson's social media sh^t too much. Dude is all over the place by nature.

I was actually taking a dig at Eddie...he's been telling us about AJ-Wilder for a year just to announce afterward that it won't. Warren simply told us that this is a game-changer and I can see what he means now. He was right.

As for Fury, what he says depends on what mood he's in but he's a great self-promoter. He just said he's more interested in being on the Forbes' list so whatever his motivation, I am glad the fight is getting made. To be honest, money is the reason both are taking this fight or all boxers fight. Eddie is looking for Abu Dhabi to host Wilder-Joshua and China to give site fee for Zhang-Joshua but its just that he talks more rather than get stuff done behind the scene first.

Usyk is very susceptible to being stopped after witnessing he can't take body shots! Fury is big strong and has good lateral movement plus Usyk only has stopped quitters at heavyweight, not real men!

Time for Fury to show who is boss and all the people who have **** talked Fury for a year just because the fight didn't happen at that time will be all up on his nuts again calling Usyk an overrated cruiserweight, so predictable.

Hopefully we do get AJ v Wilder. Not the fight it was but you would think it's a bit of a loser leaves town situation. And it's still a huge fight, no boxing fan would miss it.

I can't see some rich place not willing to host it at some point, so it's all about the fighters being willing also

AJ v Zhang in China would be great too. Zhang is 40 his mandatory shot won't be happening for about another year, so he should just be looking to make as much money as possible at this age. But really, I don't see it happening, China doesn't seem overly interested in investing in major sporting events these days. And no way Hearn let's AJ fight Zhang unless there's serious dough involved. I think the middle Eastern countries would put up more money for him to fight Wilder than Zhang.

Yep, Fury will win and will get 0 credit because they'll say Usyk was too small.

And then they'll move on to saying Hrgovic or Zhang can beat him, even though they would barely lay a glove on him.

I'd love to see Francis Bolivianize Fury, but would it matter? It's an exhibition, not a record fight, correct me if I'm wrong.

Its an official fight last I heard. Just not for the belt.

We have been down this road before. I believe it when I see it. what if Zhang people comes with fat money. or AJ vs Fury. Both would pay way more than Fury vs Usyk.
