Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Confirmed, Will Land at The Kingdom Arena

[miniq]

Anyone else find it funny that Dubois exploits Usyk weakness ( the body ) and now fury signs to fight him without any real stipulations?

That weakness has been known for a long time and Fury has talked about it long before Dubious bellied him.

Fury is going to hurt Usyk to the head before the body and everyone will be surprised "Why couldn't AJ do this he hits harder" nobody understands boxing at all.

Fury is going to big man him properly. He isn't a stiff useless chinny staminaless AJ, Chisora or Dubious. He will tank this guy around the ring worse than Bowe did Holyfield.

Usyk will put that amateurish high guard up and ring circle and look poor.


Fury isn't going to take note of that low lead feint Usyk throws...or any feint. He isn't going to gas out like all them other heavies either.

Honestly people are going to be shocked.

Only hope Usyk has is Fury comes firing on 1 cylinder and has a bad night.

There is no fight date. Only announcement for 23rd December or early 2024 and yes, Usyk did announce on his social media.
My question is what about mandatory fight vs Hrgovic? Can Hrgovic involve and make them postpone because he is mandatory.

No date is set and Fury has to win. I wouldn't put it past him to hype up his current fight vs an 0-0 boxer!

No way, if Usyk pulls out of his IBF mandatory Hrgovic will fight Wilder IF Wilder will dare step in the ring with him. Wilder is ranked after Hrgoivic by the IBF. A big $$$ fight .

We shall see.

Usyk retires after this fight win or lose and Fury will probably go into a fight with Zhang or AJ if he wins so I don't see "undisputed" status lasting long. It doesn't matter, we will have had our division defining fight.

The winner must still fight some guys to prove he is really the best of this era. You don`t become the best having 3 good wins.

Fury only has Klitschko, Wilder and Whyte. Usyk has only Joshua.

Both still need some good wins.

Sure, I'd like to see them fight on, but I think Usyk retires win or lose.

I believe so

He's basically hinted he won't have many more fights

He is smart guy I don't think he would let boxing retire him, I think he would know when to get out and he always seems to kind of guy that hates being away from his family and I don't think he'd want to do that at 40 if he doesn't need to.

but then again, everybody loves money and Usuk is no different. people think he's some noble boxer that doesn't care about money. He does, he offered Joyce 7% rremember the "more money Eddie" when negotiating the Joshua fight and him signing with the Saudis recently. Hes out to make as much as possible.

Win or lose, if for some reason the Saudis ask if he wants 60 million dollars to fight Wilder or something, is he really going to say no?

so although I think he has retirement plans, those plans will only depend on his options and offers he may not be able to refuse easily. Probably not as easy to retire these days when you have people like the Saudis throwing crazy money around.

I honestly think wilder would probably be retired right now if he wasn't trying to get some of that Saudi money. That might even apply to Fury and Usyk..

[billeau2]

Always thought it would happen.

All that was needed was the confirmation from Saudi.

simply too much money for it NOt to happen lol.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Usyk is going to make it look easy.

Only if Fury doesn't show up like a super heavyweight again.

Have to cheer for Usyk - only because, if Fury beats Usyk, it means Wilder IV.

[Boxing 112]

This fight will happen. But don't expect it to be Dec 23rd. Cause when it doesn't happen Dec 23rd i know people will blame the teams that its delayed etc but remember neither team has said a date so nothing to delay if its not confirmed to be Dec, just Coppinger claimed could be Dec 23, it won't be so don't expect it to.

There are 2 reasons why, the fight is not happening within 2 months of Fury Ngannou. The Kingdom Arena is due for completion start of 2024 opening scheduled to be Jan 2024. My guess is it'll be March 2024 to close the Riyadh Season. Maybe Feb.

All those that were talking shiet about Fury fighting Francis— just know, Fury is probably making $100-120Mil combined for both fights. See why you don’t pass on the Francis opportunity and secure a huge payday? The Usyk fight was always going to get made.

hope this means Joshua-Wilder is back on. Had a feeling Saudis wanted no parts of that fight if it wasn’t attached to Usyk-Fury. Hope I was right and we get both fights.

Lol, there’s still plenty of time for Fraudy to pull out.
