Big boxing fan, and read a lot of boxing blogs etc. Therefore get a lot of the updates on my social media. I post them on here as it's relevant. Don't read it if your not bothered.
I suspect the posters who defended the Chisora fight as being a tune up for Usyk fight are quickly realising they were conned (again). Not going to back track through the various posts but guessing you were one of them Uwe.
Not sure whether some people appreciate how big of an opportunity this is. An undisputed champion in any weight division is a massive achievement that very few boxers ever manage. In fact there's only ever been 8 undisputed champions across all the weight divisions since the 4th belt was recognised in 2007. And it truly is an elite list if fighters. The like of Mayweather, Pacquiou and Klitschko(s) never managed it. There's never been an undisputed heavyweight for something like 25 years when Lewis held it and then it was only 3 belts.
Fury isn't taking this fight for 1 of 2 reasons
A) he thinks there's a significant chance of being beaten and he would rather retire unbeaten than take the risk
B) he is so greedy that the £30 odd million he's being offered isn't enough which is by far his biggest payday to date. Rumours are the, offer on the table from the Saudis was less that AJ was paid and he didn't like it.
If he was truly a "fighting man" neither would stop him from taking this fight. The opportunity of going down in the history books as an undisputed heavyweight champion should be enough motivation to make this happen.
He fought Chisora for roughly a quarter of what he could make from this fight And I'm willing to take a bet with anyone that he fights another sub-standard opponent at the end of April for a similar fee. But apparently £30mil isn't enough to fight Usyk.
At the end of the day, as Warren has said, the fight is worth what it is worth. The Saudis made their offer and it wasn't enough for Fury. Warren has told him what the Wembley fight is worth (considerably less than Saudi) and he is offering Usyk not only an unfair split but an actually insulting split. This fight is dead and Fury has wasted the biggest opportunity he'll ever have of proving himself as "best of his generation". He has also took that opportunity from Usyk who has openly said he needs this fight. He's undisputed at cruiser weight and is looking to do it at heavyweight, the crown jewel. Never been done before.
Assuming the fight is dead, the undisputed fight won't happen between these fighters. Its not something that can be revisited. Usyk has 3 mandatories and will be on the clock. The sanctioning bodies have gave this window of opportunity and extended deadlines on mandatories. It is likely Usyk will end up vacating at least one belt by the end of the year.
. The amount of stick you lot gave him when he didn't sign the contract to fight Fury in 10 days
