Don't agree with this. AJ and Wilder had plenty of time to fight for undisputed and didn't. Joe Joyce can't get a fight with any top name, Hearn's been clear he's going to make AJ Vs Whyte instead of someone that might actually challenge him.

Fury is a massive prick but he is not the only problem.
No, but this is more blatant and greedy.

What would he ask for next? 20% of all usyk's future career ernings?
He must surely know his demands are extreme and i would think unusual.

I would never pAy to watch fury, nor usyk.
But i will pay to see usyk beat fury.

He had a shattered cheekbone that he had fought with for several rounds. Lot of bottle if you ask me. Comprehensively out jabbed by a better fighter that night in a fight many had him as favourite. I have championed big Joe since day one, too some ridicule at times even on this forum. Big fella is proving a few people wrong now and many have jumped on the bandwagon. Such is boxing. I like Dubois, good kid, huge power, I think he'll come again
I don't know if the cheekbone has actually shattered (did we actually ever see the x-ray?) But I take your broader point; Joyce dominated that fight, which wasn't the outcome I expected.

Boxing on channel5 tonight for anyone that hasn't seen it's on. I think the Lyndon Arthur fight is off but Friday night fight on terrestrial is all good!

Whilst I'm posting, Tyson Fury is an absolute clown. In no way a sportsmen. Absolute embarrassment to the sport.

Fury has shown himself as the petty, thin skinned nasty prick he is, poked and jabbed by True Geordie on YouTube for Del Boys final pay day and now this.

I still hope the fight is made, but I hope Usyk does the job on him and takes Fury's belts away. I can't see it ever being a KO but I can see Usyk going the distance and winning.

If it happens, and that’s a big if, it goes to the cards and a draw so they can milk the punters (sorry mugs) for another £xxmillion.

Usyk is not fit to wipe Tyson Fury's backside he was on the train to Kiev before negotiations failed.
I'm local and Tyson Fury has been seen running along Morecambe beach every day, he also bought the league 1 football club for the gym so he doesn't have to travel to Ricky Hattons in Manchester every day. Training camp was only going to be 4 weeks anyway.
By the way i bumped in to Ricky Hatton in two bars in Pattaya Thailand in January he was on a speaking tourthumbup

Whenever there's a big fight not being made Fury is always in the middle of it!

The man's a disgrace. He's a disgrace to the sport and he's a disgrace to all the people that believe in all the mental health bks he spouts. The personal insults and stuff towards a fighter that's got 5 x the legacy and 100 times the respect of people than Fury could dream of. Even his own fans are turning against him. You can't be selling your brand on your mental health struggles (or doping ban as some people call it) one minute and then using some pretty childish derogatory comments about people the next.

I've long though Fury was a total helmet now I think that view is mainstream. If he ever fights again he'll get boo'd out of the arena.

Man up and fight or just sod off now. It's really beyond boring now.

As with football the women are showing how it should be done the best fighting the best!

Completely agree.
Why don't the WBC step in and strip him of the titles or anyone else that fannies about for months/years?

Why don't all the other fighters in the division just boycott the WBC? Fury and his antics and completely ridiculous tying up of the division whilst he pissed about with Wilder had ruined this era of fighters.

Imagine the landscape where Fury/AJ/Usyk/Joyce/Wilder/Ruiz were all scrapping with each other once every 3/4 months? almost all of these fights have been affected by the moronic Morecambe dosser!

He's pushed it too far now even the casuals have turned on him.

Just watching the okolie undercard.

Gomes vs Giles, god knows how they gave it to Gomez. Apart from rounds 5 and 6 I thought he got schooled in the art of boxing.

I think they must employ blind people for judges coming up with that result.

I DO believe the fella had mental health problems but that doesn't diminish the fact he is now acting like a complete hypocrite. I am a huge fan of him as a fighter but agree with you 100%, if he wants to quit, fair play, he should be able to do rhat whenever he wants what the public want shouldn't matter. But all this posturing is simply unacceptable. I have little time for him now

Yeah just watched and though the same thing. Tight but how's how judges do tend to favour coming forward even if you are coming forward and taking punishment. Good fight overall evenly matched for sure I had Giles by at least 3....

yes one judge must have got his scorecard backwards. Giles edged it for me. Really good footwork and made Gomez miss all night. Horrible decision.
