    Assuming he’s talking about Usyk (as fury repeatedly called him a rabbit). Turki loves his trilogies, but I’m not sure many people want to see Bivol Beterbiev or Fury Usyk 3 over all the other people they could be fighting. It’s funny that before Turki the big fights were getting blocked, and now it’s the repeating big fights that are blocking everything else.

      I am starting to recognize that Wilder actually knocked the brain out of Fury´s head.

        I think that depends on one's perception vs knowing fact. For instance, maybe Fury believes he won the second fight vs Usyk, hence the conspiracy comments. Conversely, Wilder knows that Fury beat him in their second fight, but he insisted that Breland sold him out, poisoned him, his ring walk suit tired him out, and Fury's gloves were illegal.
        Maybe Fury believes it. Though those around him could easily put him straight - those fights weren't hard to score.

        Maybe Wilder believes it too. Delusion isn't necessarily by choice.

          I wouldn't call Fury's belief that he won a delusion, per se. I'd call it more a pride-induced difference of opinion. Now Wilder's accusations against his own trainer and corner, I'd call delusional.

            Well he does have a knockout loss to him (nevermind the dumb *** ref that gave him 12 full seconds to recover on the canvas) so that's no surprise.

            I'd be down for a Quadrilogy, not like either of them are going to be on top ever again so why not.

            Make it happen Boxing Gods.

              Yeah and maybe mango mussolini thinks he won the 2020 election...they know they lost, it's narcissism so they can't admit it.

                It's not one or the other with Fury, he's said a bit of both. After the first Usyk fight, he said the reason Usyk got the decision is because he's from Ukraine and implied the decision was given because Usyk's country is at war. That's almost as ridiculous as Wilder's claims.

                After the Usyk rematch, he said he'll retire due to the "robbery". For me, he came across as a sore loser in both instances. Now he's saying he'll only fight Usyk in the UK to get a "fair" decision, as if Saudi is somehow part of Ukraine and the UK officials are free of controversy.

                You can say he comes off better than Wilder but that's not hard and he's not far off how Wilder came across after his losses to Fury.
                Valid points, brother, I digress!

                  The problem with both is the number of 'yes men' they've put around them.

                  Disagree with Wilder and you lose your job. That's been shown. So everyone agrees with anything, obviously. People keep asking why Jay Deas is still there... isn't it obvious?

                  I suspect Fury has a similar setup. The people around him need to stay involved or risk becoming nobodies. So they likely feed that ego.
