OFFICIAL: Tyson fury will fight Agit Kabayel!

[SN!PER]

I'm done being negative, I just wanna be entertained.

Give us some RJJ/ Ali rope-a-dope, hands behind the back, slipping punches and countering this German buffoon and I will be cheering on the Gypsy King.

Stun him with a nice counter and then smash him to bits!

Slow af & couldn't crack an egg but he's quite solid.
Probably top 10 and not your typical high guard German plodder/punchbag.

Can't really argue with it given who was available.

As a Fury fan, i'm happy with it, providing he fights AJ next.

But it's going to be a boring/ugly fight.

I believe Fury and Josh are fighting next once they get Pulev and Kabayel out of the way.

Usyk can't stop the fight since Warren controls WBO and he'll most likely be pushing for it. And both Hearn and Skysports need Josh in a megafight since that would be the last fight on his current contract. So there's absolutely no way Usyk can block it.

Also, boxers are allowed a voluntary after a mandatory, anyway. And if WBO acts too stubborn - Josh might drop the belt.

Joshua will fight Uysk after Chisora.

But I suppose Kabayel is a good fight.

Josh isn't fighting Usyk after Pulev.

All roads lead to Fury if he wants it. No one gives a shi..t about Usyk. The division needs a megafight.

Usyk can't hold the fight since Warren control WBO and he'll most likely be pushing for it. And both Hearn and Skysports need Josh in a megafight since that would be the last fight on his current contract. So there's absolutely no way Usyk can block it.

Usyk will sit his azz down and do what he's told.

Joshua & Fury both need to put on good performances to hype the fight, and i think they will.

My thoughts are Fury says he is the best boxer in history so why does he so often fight a guy I never heard of and have to do a google search to find out who he is?I follow boxing so why can't the heavyweight champion of the world at least fight a heavyweight I have heard of before? I am sure Fury will KO this unknown guy. So what?

Kayabal isn't unknown.....

Stop being a casual and do your homework.

Would have preferred Hunter to be honest, because Fury IS the number one guy and his resume isn’t that stacked. But am not shocked. Hopefully the undisputed happens after this joke.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I can see what is going on there. Joshua and Fury both have fights they are supposed to look great in. Hopefully we will see them fighting each other next after that.

Usyk will fight AJ -Fury winner for all the belts.

[JakeTheBoxer]

This guy is ranked 36th by boxrec meaning they think there are over 30 better guys Fury could have fought instead of him. Fury is taking Wilder's place as a cherry picking champion. AJ never defended his title against a guy so low ranked.

Stop looking at boxrec and do some homework. Kabayel beat Chisora not that long ago just like Usyk did.

[BangEM]

Usyk will sit his azz down and do what he's told.

Joshua & Fury both need to put on good performances to hype the fight, and i think they will.

He’s just putting his name out there to get more recognition by attaching his name to Josh’s. At least with that - his popularity would gain some steam amongst casual Brits.

No boxer fights back to back mandatories, anyway. And WBO isn’t IBF - it’s basically like WBA and WBC without the numerous titles and they’re very political. Warren runs the show there and since it seems Team Fury wants the undisputed fight as well - WBO would play ball.

The most likely scenario would be that whoever wins the undisputed fight would’ve to drop the belt before the rematch and let Usyk and Dubois/Parker fight for it.

The undisputed fight is AJ’s last fight on his current contract and I just discovered that it’s Fury’s last fight on his current contract as well. So the big machine would tell Usyk to sit his arse down, so they can cash in.
