USS had just lost in a semi eliminator and after Adamek withdrew,the fight Fury had set up with Duva promotions,main event.was named as a semi eliminator,the final eliminator was in front of Fury before the fight with USS took place,check your facts kid.when Fury initially singed to face USS the fight wasnt to be sanctioned by anybody,it was named a semi eliminator afterwards,after Goral dropped out and USS was seen to have been dealt with harshly in losing a close decision.
Just like the Johnson fight,the fight was tagged a semi eliminator by the WBC after it was made,ok Fury would have had to wait for the rematch between Mithchell and Banks to take place,I concur,yet he could have faced the level of opponent he chose to face whilst waiting for his Chisora rematch with the wbo eliminator shot,the bodies allow these fights to take place when the challenger is having to wait Pulev vs Abell for instance.
As yourself this,would Fury have signed to face Johnson knowing he would have had to face Vitali in a mandatory title defence,I know we both know he would have never agreed to sign had he have known the WBC would call it a semi.just like he got cold feet when the IBF names his USS fight an eliminator.
