Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk Undisputed Heavyweight Championship Rescheduled For May 18

[thack]

This interview clearly shows why the fight needed to be moved forward and just how wrong some people get it . It's disturbing that some nutters are still calling it a conspiracy, but unfortunately that's how blind hate seems to devour the weak. Roll on May when we find out who the man is.

Did anyone see the extended version of that sparring video?
I saw it got deleted from TikTok. It was about 30 seconds instead of the 13 seconds that you can still find.
Fury gameplan is to hold and maul and be dirty.
He wants this entire fight to happen on the inside.
Usyk will need to be on his bike the whole night.
WHEN he catches Fury with a Left hook to the jaw I think around round 4 we see a fight for the ages as Fury moves to instinct.

Trap door clause? Thats a clause I've not heard of before. I aint mad at it tho.

It'd be cool if more promotions kept the date & had a stand by opponent (& a free $10M here) just in case of a main event injury. Pretty fooked a dozen or so other guys on the rest of the card get fooked over cuz one guy got hurt.

Wonder who the standby opp will be?

I can only remember it happening one other time really, and that was Lennox/Vitali. Vitali was supposed to fight on a Lennox undercard, and both guys opponents got hurt so they decided to fight eachother instead of can the card.

Saudis aren't giving him an out. Interesting.

Remember how upset he was when Usyk accepted his low ball offer? He went as far as telling him he should fire all his management so this is a minor set back he’ll have months to figure a way out if that’s what he actually decides to do . This is why Hearn and DAZN basically took over and became the Riyadh Season partner bc of Fury himself, I know Warren knows this to he must be livid behind the scenes he’s even threatening to sue Caterall for slander bc of what he’s basically saying about the cut like most social media outlet .

Once again Fury causes Frank to lose his composure ! Arum must be relieved . Lol

Boswell wasn’t hurt it was just a switch of opponents for Vitali . Lewis wanted that fight bc he was being pressured to take the Klitchko fight by the WBC before and they wouldn’t sanction the Kirk Johnson fight so to me this smells like a set up and knowing Steward the great trainer he is I wouldn’t put it past him to try and get a jump on Klitchko at that time bc it is an advantage fir Lewis who retired after Vitali became his mandatory after his technical win ( people love to forget that fact ) .

”The WBC had refused to sanction the Lewis-Johnson fight in anger at Lewis’ decision not to take on Klitschko earlier this year. They will now be back on board for what will become his mandatory defence.” Lewis retired after this became news .

Fury was grappling with a little guy in that video and he got well and truly dented while showing no defence against the left hand. Usyk would be able to do whatever he wants with him.

Tyson Fury said on May 5 he'll claim he has VD, and can't fight he already said he not ****kking with anyone named Usyk.

That cut was really bad, that cut will open up again no doubt

100 percent sure i was listening to hatman and he quoted from fury's social media the number of stitches for this cut was far less than the wallin cut but why does i look worst while requiring less stitches? did they do a photoshop edit which some are saying?

i guess that this may be an opportunity for him to get an exta 3-4 months of prep.

May is probably an adjustable date

They will be fined $10 mil if either of them pull out of the fight. The saudis are not playing with dumb shenanigans of guys like fury.

Was that planned tho? I thought that was just some sh^t that happened on the fly.

This standby opp sh^t happens more often in MMA, but I've never heard of it referred to as a trap door clause before lol.
