Turki Alsheik: Tyson Fury is the absoloute diamond, he is in my heart, we have a plan for 6 or 7 more fights for him

2 fights a yea r, so that's 6 fights in 3 years, he will be 38.

If they want mileage out of Fury for 6 or 7 fights then he has to be in close and competitive fights.

If he beats Usyk in a fixed fight, there is no rematch. Who does he fight then? Joshua? Then who? Parker? Wilder 4? Anderson? His marketability will drop and the Saudis will know this.

My feeling is;

- Usyk beats Fury
-Fury activates rematch
Fury wins close UD
- Usyk 3rd fight - Usyk wins and probably retires
- Fury v Joshua close and controversial
- Joshua rematch; Joshua either has confidence and KOs Fury or he loses
- Fury exhibitions
- Retirement

Could definitely happen that way but got a bit of a gut feeling that Fury will be extremely motivated by his terrible Ngannou performance to make a point and beat Usyk. It tends to be case w Fury of bad performance followed by great performances.

I just hope Turki puts some time bound clauses so we see all those fights play out over next 18 months to stop all fighters playing out dragging out games.

I can see this version of AJ with Ben Davison potentially unsettling Fury.

You're confusing the government with the boxing promoters

Nah, not at all. I have friends of all ethnicities. Don't assume. My thing is, just like any promoter, those forking up the $ have sway on who they want to win. And in SA, the Govt, you do realize Turkis is part of
