Five fights for Fury? Yeah let him pull out the more fights , jerk the fans around with other side show matches like him vs. and 0-0 boxer and other stuff. When if faces top ring magazine opponents that are in their prime, I want to see him get Knocked out.

Ok that's obviously why he fought Ngannou at all.

But why did he take the Ngannou fight less than two months before an undisputed fight?

Or why did he take the undisputed fight less than two months after the Ngannou fight?

The answer to those isn't money. The answer has to be that he had no intention of fighting for undisputed in December and was just dragging Usyk along.

The only alternative answer is that he really thought he could stay in camp after Ngannou and fight Usyk less than two months later... but we know that's not true surely?

Which is it?

i think he had intentions. He was a fat slob vs Ngannou whom he thought he would toy with, and if you’ve seen the pics he absolutely stayed in came and is in great shape and clearly got cut. Everything isn’t a conspiracy.

Tyson is a glove loading cheat, so I get where you’re coming from. But my eyes tell me he’s been in camp getting ready for Usyk and doing a pretty good job of it. Just got cut. That’s boxing.

He got in shape (if we believe that photo) by February. He never had any intention of fighting in December. No-one believed it for a second.

I'm also surprised at how many people are using that photo as evidence of him being in great shape for the February 17 fight. Losing weight isn't evidence of being in peak fighting form.

Why wouldn't Fury take the Ngannou fight, Usyk's team already admitted at that point they didn't even try to negotiate for the Wembley fight in April...

And Usyk had just fought in August, Fury hadn't fought since Dec of the previous year, you really think Fury is going to give an activity edge to a technical wizard like Usyk in a game of inches, don't forget Fury is in the driving seat...

This is true. Who needs a popularity contest anyway, when you're making tens of millions. Any fighter is going to have critics.
Fortunately for Mr. Fury, his is a title that can only be lost in the ring. No cardboard title.

He just does whatever he wants and takes pleasure in watching others adjust their lives to chase him down.

....Like a Champ!!! Lol. He Da CHAMP!

Do you think things through before typing, Klimas and Krassyuk both admitted they didn't even negotiate the April/Wembley date/fight despite the fact Usyk publicly accepted it.

It means absolutely nothing for him to say "I accept" on social media.

When both his manager and promoter have openly admitted to not engaging with the Warrens on said fight after the Dubois fight but at the point the damage was already done to Furys and Warrens already abysmal reputation...

It's curious how none of you seem to keep the same energy for Usyk as you do Fury they've both ducked the fight on different ocassion but only one of them gets flak for it...

A bit of moral consistency would be nice when it comes both praise and critique of these fighters but that would require moral integrity and also not being a hater/fanboy.

Guys like you like twisting words ….everyone knows Fury sabotaged this fight bf any Crazy hurdles he placed ….I’m not even going to try and reason with you bc I see your posts it’s a lost cause …….anyone trying to defend either Fury or Wilder has no morals so you lost pal ….take a break . Lol

[SN!PER]

5-fight plan?

Slow down big guy, just focus on completing 1 fight.

Where did I defend Fury and you definitely talking out your ass implying I defended Wilder, don't even think i've mentioned the guy once, he's a stiff who lived on a diet of cans Fury gets no credit for beating him off me and neither does anyone else.

[hugh grant]

Agreed, he should fight the big Chinese dude!

Yes, I think Fury needs to give Francis a miss. Even if fury wins rematch convincingly, the first fight was still bad look for fury.
Fight excellent names like zhang, that will enhance fury s resume, and repair any damage the Francis fight did

Being in shape is certainly an indication that he stayed in camp after Francis. Doesn’t mean everything, but he was pretty fat in all 3 Deontay Wilder fights and his current physique is much better than that. Just going off eyes I think he has prepared well, was cut, and the fight was pushed back.

Again, everything is not a conspiracy and sometimes it’s ok to trust what you see.
