Is Tyson Fury the biggest fraud in boxing?

Does anyone think the terms are already agreed and they are drumming more interest with wwe type shenanigans.

It's possible but I don't think so. If it was 3 or 4 months before the fight date I would be more inclined to believe that was the case. But with only 6 weeks until the fight, I would think they would be trying to get the tickets on sale etc
 
It does feel as though Fury is trying to delay the fight, or doesn't want the fight at all. I don't think he was expecting Usyk to accept the offer on the same day, hence the comment about deducting 1% each day that Usyk "lingers".

I wonder if Fury knows deep down that 6 weeks won't give him enough time to get fit for the fight.

After that 3rd Wilder fight, he said he could barely move his arms, due to bone spurs or something? He then mentioned after the Chisora fight that he needed to get surgery done on his elbow.

I wonder if the wild lifestyle he was living at one stage has caught up with him and he doesn't feel he's ever going to be in peak top condition again.

I just think he's eying up the exhibition fights and losing to Usyk could devalue them. This fight against Ngannou has been spoken about for ages now. Would that still be as lucrative if he loses to Usyk?

He's a businessman and money comes first. Unlike Usyk, who is all about legacy and sporting glory. You can see how much this undisputed fight means to Usyk.

He can't be about Money as he said he will fight for Free and donates it all to charity !
 
The fight could still happen on the 29th, but like I said on Saturday, it not on till its signed and the tickets are on sale. I personally don't think it will happen.

I was ridiculed on here Saturday for saying I still don't think the fight will happen.
 
No way this fight happens on the 29th April. Fury is panicking. You tell by the content and more importantly the tone of his social media posts. He doesn't want this fight in 6 weeks.
 
I’m absolutely 100% team Usyk. Fury’s a walking contradiction.

What is it with British boxers? Fury’s avoiding Usyk. Joshua/Fury avoided each other. Taylor avoided a Caterrall re-match. Khan avoided Brook at all costs until he needed one last payday.

Just fight each other FFS.

The promoters don't help. Encourage them to hang on as long as possible to generate the biggest pay days.

Taylor can make much bigger money fighting Lopez. That is a good fight to be fair. Its just disappointing for Catterall doesn't get his rematch because he was clearly robbed in the first fight.

It's a shame the Khan v Brook fight never happened earlier but they both had fantastic careers. For the British fans, that fight was huge but on a world level there was always just better fights out there for either fighter, financially and in terms of rankings. Between them, they took on the elite in the welter and middle weight divisions.

This Fury fight is different. There is no bigger fight out there financially. Its a chance to become umdisputed. All 4 sanctioning bodies are on board. There is a venue. His opponent is very willing, to the point he has accepted 70/30 to get it done, when everyone knows that is no a fair split. What more could he want? There is absolutely no reason for this fight not to happen apart from Fury being Fury.
