Fury vs Opetaia sparring cover up?

[Toffee]

The rumor is he dropped Fury - and I think that needs to be given some credence.

Australia to Saudi Arabia is a massive journey. You don't make that kind of trip to come out for a day or two, period.

Simply put - something happened. 100%. We just don't know what.

Something definitely happened. Great opportunity or not, you don't fly from Aus to Saudi for 5 rounds.

But everyone seems set on keeping things amicable so it's probably not coming out.

Personally I was just pleased to hear confirmation that Fury actually has a camp going.

So the cruiserweight champ Jai Opetaia was hired t help Tyson Fury spar for Usyk fight. But after only five rounds Jai supposedly left the camp and flew back to Australia, claiming Fury's style was all wrong for him for his next fight vs Breidis but also saying he had terrific sparring with Fury, blah blah blah ... Jai could have stayed and just sparred with the other sparring partners. My guess is Jai was beating up the shot Fury and after five rounds he got the boot from Fury.

Jai said Fury had all southpaw fighters in camp, and that wasn't useful for his own fight, so he left after a few days. Fury is also way taller than Jai's opponent, so beyond just being a decent experience and doing Fury a favor by going a few rounds, sparring Fury is not really useful for this particular fight of Jai's. It all seems reasonable enough to me, there doesn't have to be a conspiracy.

Man it's gonna look real bad when Usyk gets stopped by a guy that cruiserweight Jai ko'd in sparring

Why? Wouldnt cruiserweight Usyk and cruiserweight Jai be a good scrap? Jai is long and strong, potentially like the movement of Usyk and the power of AJ combined.

Naturally people will speculate what they wish was true.

Opetaia fans/Fury haters will say Fury was dropped.
Fury fans will say that Jai was dropped (mot sure Opetaia has any haters!)

Who knows, but Tasman Fighters have said its not the case

He just left for his own prep.

Everything else at this point is just in your hopes and dreams.

Yup, Jai said there was nothing for him leaving and that no one got dropped
True or false , it’s up for debate but that’s what he stated

You just made a thread suggesting Usyk beats Fury
Did I miss something ?

I made a thread of why Usyk MUST beat Fury.

Anything else will be humiliating for Usyk and his fans after 18 months of incessant talking about how utterly finished and overhyped fury is.

So you don’t think Usyk wins that fight ?

I think it's close to a 50/50, which puts me in the minority.

Why minority ?

Why minority ?

According to I'd say at least 85% of online fans Usyk is going to easily destroy the overrated greedy belly.
