Bear Hugger Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 (edited) Need to get Paris talking to Fury, she found a way to stop him pulling out. Let's face it she has 7 kids with him so must have a trick to stop him pulling out. Edited February 3 by Bear Hugger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Hugger Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk rescheduled for 18 May with huge penalty for a withdrawal. It was also confirmed that a deal has been agreed stating if either man pulls out of the fight set for that date then they will owe their opponent $10m of their own money.

LondonRingRules Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 --- Tyson Fury Quitting His Scheduled Saudi Fight Against Oleksandr Usyk? Posted on February 5, 2024 | Leave a comment Ukrainian Cossack Oleksandr Usyk, without throwing a punch, continues to embarrass Tyson Fury whose blubber has grown old and fetid, now embarrassing his fans and boxing in general. What were the odds that Fury would make the scratch line for this fight in the beginning, and what pray tell us are they now? more here, enough to gag a maggot: roberto00.wordpress.com/2024/02/05/tyson-fury-quitting-his-scheduled-saudi-fight-against-oleksandr-usyk/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your personal bias is just a LITTLE bit obvious there, Bobby. Still articles like this might actually light a fire under Fury's butt, which would be a good thing, so keep it up ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bigger advocate of Fury could be found until he spit the dummy for the Wlad rematch. Only thing he done since then is expose Deyonce and pack on blubber and canceled fights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Not convinced by the new date due to the cut, which looked bad. Usyk will still fight possibly against Hrgovic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledhed1 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Fury vs Usyk undercard revealed as Jai Opetaia and Joe Cordina feature By Alex Pattle, The Independent The undercard for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk has been revealed, with two other title fights scheduled in Saudi Arabia. Fury and Usyk will clash in Riyadh on 18 May to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years, while Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis will provide chief support in a rematch two years in the making. Australian Opetaia, who outpointed Briedis in 2022, will face the Latvian for the vacant IBF cruiserweight title – which Opetaia won against Briedis and vacated late last year. Elsewhere, Welshman Joe Cordina defends his IBF belt against Northern Ireland’s Anthony Cacace at super-featherweight. A series of non-title bouts were also announced including two heavyweight clashes – Agit Kabayel vs Frank Sanchez and Moses Itauma vs Ilja Mezencev – and two cruiserweight fights – Sergey Kovalev vs Robin Sirwan Safar and David Nyika vs Michael Seitz. Finally, Mark Chamberlain and Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab will meet in a lightweight tilt, and Isaac Lowe faces Hasibullah Ahmadi at featherweight. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledhed1 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Hmmm...rumor is there's a big fight tonight. Ah, right the Ukrainian. Well, think it'll be a tough night for him. Lots of punches from his opponent. The Ukrainian's getting on the old side. Think he comes up short in this spot. Yep, Navarrete > Berinchyk. Let's see...anything else? Seems a bit quiet on the Middle Eastern front. Anyway, methinks Fury's actually taking this opponent seriously. It'll take a Herculean effort for Usyk. Don't think he overcomes the physical differences facing him. Perhaps that changes in the rematch if Fury falls off the rails away from the ring. In any case, it'll take the balance of the year for it all to shake out. Should be quite the spectacle albeit a downer of a day for Ukraine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Hugger Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago I think it is a 50:50 fight. After the Wilder fight I would have gone for Fury, but after Ngannou I'm not so sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
