What a fantastic response from Usyk
Is Tyson Fury the biggest fraud in boxing?
- Thread starter JustTheGent
- Start date
To he honest, in these big fights, I generally don't "support" a boxer. I just want to see a good fight. I felt no affiliation towards AJ in the Usyk fight. I was happy for Usyk. He's a genuine bloke and a top quality fighter.
I went to watch the Parker v Joyce fight last year and although I did want Joyce to win because I think he's got potential to challenge for World tiles, I would have been just as happy for Parker to win that fight as long as I seen a good fight. And that one was a belter.
However, in this case, I would love to see Fury get schooled by Usyk. I think it would be tough, but if anyone in the division can beat Fury, it's Usyk

No.
FootyExpo does it again.
Doesn't seem to be reported anywhere official. Nothing on Warren's, Usyks or Fury's socials...

A tentative deal has been reached for the long-awaited undisputed heavyweight title fight between lineal/WBC champion Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBO and IBF belts, according to WBA president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza.
Mendoza told Fight Freaks Unite on Friday that the sides notified him that they have reached an agreement, although he said they still had to “work on the contracts.”
Mendoza was told of the deal, which was struck between Fury co-promoter Frank Warren and Usyk promoter Alex Krassyuk, just before the WBA, which had grown tired of waiting for an agreement, was poised to notify Usyk by 5 p.m. ET on Friday that it was going to order his mandatory defense against England’s Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18K KOs). He holds the WBA “regular” title and is also promoted by Warren. Usyk-Dubois would be worth a fraction of the money Usyk can make by facing Fury.
The WBA had previously held off on making the order to give Usyk and Fury time to make a fight that would crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era and the first undisputed champion in the division since Lennox Lewis outpointed Evander Holyfield in their rematch to unify the three major titles in Las Vegas on Nov. 13, 1999.
“It seems Usyk versus Fury will happen,” Mendoza said. “There is an agreement between Usyk and Fury. They will provide a contract and dates. They are basically saying an agreement has been reached, let’s work on the contracts.”

If you read his book, he is quite open and honest that the boxing theatrics are all about generating interest in the fightes and therefore generating money. I keep saying this. Yet many people believe the nonsense.True, although that's only because of Furys antics. Remember its not about the money
