    Money will change hands once Fury signs.

    The man is in Frank Warren's pockets.

    There's too much money on the table and "Undisputed" is part of the selling point.

    They'll throw him a milli.

      So they're willing to block the world's first ever 5 belt heavyweight unification in history... Drop that WBO in the bin.. This is the biggest heavyweight fight in a long time, regardless of the belts.

        Usyk might beat him. He should vacate and get the Fury payday before it’s too late.

          Fury and AJ are not the best HWs, yes, they are by promotion comps and some abc ratings, but in real life they are not, put any of them right now against the likes of Usyk, Makhmudov, Majidov, Jalolov, pffff i mean even Kunkabaev probably beats both of them

            What has Usyk done to warrant blocking the unification fight? Was his win over the ghost of Dereck Chisora that impressive?

              Just vacate it

              Fury said he doesn’t care if it’s not on the line.

              If AJ really wants to fight Fury, then he should vacate and stop the mess around with the belts.

              Usyk will probably pick up the vacant title, and if Joshua is confident of beating Fury and wanting to be undisputed, he could fight Usyk afterwards for all the belts. They have the same promoter anyway.

              If he wants to duck the fight with Fury, then he has this WBO mandatory excuse. The Usyk fight is a nice big in-house fight for Hearn too. That’s what’ll probably happen. AJ does not want to fight Fury.

                Usyk became mandatory the day he stated he was moving up to Heavyweight. It's how the WBO works. We've seen the rule done countless times in the lower weight classes, just never at heavyweight.

                    I assume he means the IBO.

                      Say to the WBO if you don’t want the big sanction fee it’s your loss...hand the belt over to them and make it for the others....at least Joshua knows he gave it up
