Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Jabs WBO Prez For Usyk Landing Mandatory Position

[OnlytheTruth]

Before becoming mandatory in HW, such Usyk ought to fight at least 3 times in his new category including at least 1 fight with a top 10 ranked fighter. Making him mandatory after one ridiculous fight is even more ridiculous than his fight.

It could be to his down detriment though.
If he's made the jump up too early, the WBO haven't done him a favour if he gets knocked out by a much bigger HW.

fury is full of **** here

this is all above board. fury knows this. it has nothing to do with the bull**** fight usyk had. its WBO policy an incumbent WBO champ can jump to the front of the line against another WBO champ in a new weight class. everybody knows this.

[ceylon mooney]

it has nothing to do with the stiff usyk fought.

Tel em Fury. Ustiff doesn't get a shot after beating one unranked heavyweight. Holyfield fought 3 top ranked heavyweights and 6 total before he got his shot. Holy also unified the cruiserweight belts before jumping to heavy. Tell em Fury. Tell this idiot reading also

it has nothing to do with the stiff usyk fought. its WBO policy that an incumbent WBO champ can jump to the front of the line and be mandatory against another WBO champ in a new weight class. its all above board and fully transparent, plus everyone in boxing knows this. fury is full of ****.

Dillian Whyte was number 1 ranked WBO when Usyk moved up not Fury

Yes but it's the wbo which was considered like the IBO is now in the 90's. Not really a major belt. Let ustiff have it

[Corbett]

Usyk was a great Cruiserweight and moved up and demanded mandatory status he should of waited to fight the Champion instead struggling against Chazz Witherspoon a semi retired heavyweight journeyman who had 2 fights in the last 3 years.
The WBO is a joke

[JakeTheBoxer]

WBO is not respected at heavyweight division at all.

[Jack_sh*t]

Probably because the majority of boxing fans are underachieving degenerates. It’s easier to identify with lazy protected fighters than acknowledge that they themselves should strive for more. Same ideology as hating on individuals garnering success. The criticisms come from the weak and negative living in an echo chamber.

MISTER Underachieving Degenerate to you.

Show some manners ffs.

The big3 in Wilder, Joshua and Fury will avoid Usyk and are ready to do just about anything to not to fight him, this is a perfect example of it

Joshua and Usyk are both with Matchroom. That's the Real reason they won't fight.
Eddie Hearn gets two Heavyweight champs this way making more money.
If Joshua fights Povetkin, Usyk gets the belt by default. If Joshua fights Usyk, Povetkin automatically gets the belt.
Povetkin is not with Matchroom. Eddie would be giving away a World championship belt to a rival.

fury has looked terrible since his comeback. dont see him being around for very long. wilder cherry picked a horrible fury and just exposed himself in the process.

Fury has always looked terrible, even when he is at his best he looks awkward and ungainly, he isn't pretty to watch.
Having said that, what he actually does is very skillful. He is almost impossible to hit for many opponents (providing he keeps his focus).
