Comments Thread For: Usyk Not Backing Away From WBO Shot, Has Not Given Consent For Fury-Joshua

[_Rexy_]

Why would they need his consent? He’s not the governing body & WBO President has the final say on the issue. He’ll do what he’s told. End of.

People put a lot of these inconsequential boxers on a pedestal they don’t belong. He’s a mandatory - not a champion. WBO has the final say.

Are you ****ing new?

Not once the mandatory has been called, which happened months ago. Plus, AJ/Fury want a 2 fight deal, so how would that work?





That's not how this works...

Nothing works in a straight line in this business especially when dealing with corrupt organizations who are accountable to no one but themselve$.

Its an absolute travesty that we even have these many belts.

Maybe they themselves are looking for their own step aside $$$.

This . If Usyk actually made A.J vacate he himself loses out in the big potential payday he’s looking for and undisputed with either Fury or A.J .

The big question is who would Usyk fight as a safe fight in the meantime ? Does he weigh that risk in and try and force a vacant belt for himself in hopes A.J defeats Fury ? Fury is not obligated to fight Usyk .

Logical thinking would be team Usyk rolls the dice and waits for A.J to collect the majority belts ,then assuming he fights a WBO title shot after AJ relinquishes it after the first Fury fight then also hopes A.J defeats Fury a second time and goes into the Joshua fight as WBO champion, making it another undisputed fight. .

Most people really fail to grasp what’s actually options and fighters best paths here to gaining a title and bigger paydays .

That’s exactly how it works.

This is at least your third lie today . Ha

Usyks mandatory is not due until May ,the Mandatory was called because Usyk has activated it . The WBO has precedence over who actually comes first however . Either way anyone saying team Joshua needs consent has very little thinking skills .

A two fight deal between A.J and Fury would have zero relevance on Usyk waiting for a vacant WBO title after their first fight ,this would bring Usyk a title shot vs Parker most likely . Or Usyk just waits until the undisputed champ is crowned and he gets a real big money fight for all the belts so there is no how this works , this is how it works bc these are Usyks options beyond A.J vacating one .

I know we all have the right to our own opinion, but statistically Fury's chin is way more suspected than AJ's for he has been put his back by more opponents, even by a cruiserweight, than AJ. It's to be seen how much remains in his tank when his body is properly worked by a heavy puncher like AJ. A terrible upset is waiting for Fury's fans.

I agree that Fury's been down more but he takes punches better than AJ if that makes sense. When AJ is hurt, he's HURT. We saw Fury get up from arguably the hardest HW twice. I just can't confidently say AJ would be able to do the same. He doesn't have that same will power.

I haven't seen AJs body punching in awhile but I don't see him going to Fury's body much because he'll be wide open to counters. I think he should if given the opportunity on the ropes. Fury's shown he can play cat and mouse when he wants to. I can just see AJ gassing outta frustration, swinging and missing, and eating jabs all night.

I've always compared Fury to JMM in the sense that he'll get dropped, but get right back up like nothing happened. That's why I say Fury has a great chin, because of his recovery.

How many times have we seen Joshua get rocked and still wobbly a round later?

Credit to AJ for wanting Fury over the easier mando who is smaller and came from CW. Shame on WBO for this ****** rule that a WBO champ from below can come up and get a title shot just for being champion in a lower weight class. None of this is Usyk’s fault though.

Totally agree. I could see maybe allowing for a fight for the #1 position with whomever holds the mandatory spot, but seriously this is an idiotic. Pushing aside others in the division who have been there boxing at the limit simply because someone else is a champ at a lower weight? Just moronic.

Also, as a curiosity, does this apply to if you drop in divisions? What if Usyk had decided to go collect the 175 light heavy belts? Would the WBO bump whomever is their #1 for Usyk?

[landotter]

NOBODY wants to see usyk vs AJ.

Well I do. But I have been referred to nobody more than a few times in my life, so maybe your point is made.

[Claude Palle]

Yet didn’t include they will vacate the WBO belt ? Usyk cannot stop the fight it’s not even possible .Ha

Did you see what is being said anyway ? The WBO can override their mandatory position according to Hearn but that’s just a potential scenerio should Usyk make things difficult which we still haven’t heard directly from him other then stating he wants to see the undisputed fight himself ?

Ohio? I was at the hall of fame a few years ago when the Cars were inducted. I handed out a few bills to some homeless looking dudes outside the casino. One cat had a moth eaten Redeemer tee shirt on. Interesting........!
