Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Warns Usyk: Dubois is Ready To Go, Fight Him or Vacate!

[Jsrr]

Didn't Dubois Knee explode in his last fight and he said he would be out for at least 6 months.
All of the sudden hes "ready to fight".
Usyk would humiliate him bad.

Just an excuse for getting dropped 3 times by a CW.

Dubious is 10 years younger than Usyk, much naturally bigger and stronger than Usyk, has shown he can come off the mat and win. Usyk is the favorite, but to say that Dubious is not a threat is ridiculous. Every one was saying Yarde would get blitzed, but he gave Beterbiev a good match.

Usyk will just duck Dubois like he did Fury. Nash out

Dubious is not on the same level as Usyk. But he can punch with power. I don't think team Usyk makes this fight. He gains nothing and could lose everything.

Where is the author getting those numbers from? His arse ?

So did Usyk ask for the rematch or not? Usyk’s manager ranted about a list of things but never said what those lists of demands were. Warren has now twice said it was the rematch split that was the only road block. Did Usyk ask for the rematch or not? I want to hear what Team Usyk says about this.

Pay attention. Usyk's team said almost two weeks ago that Fury's team had put in the rematch clause.

March 13: “Greedy belly, rematch clause comes from your side, not mine. Stop whining and ducking, be a man. Ink the contact or vacate the belt. I need undisputed and not to play your ****** games.”

I wouldn't be surprised if Warren (or Arum, who has been surprisingly silent) put it in by default and Fury didn't know, but more than a week before any of this blew up, Usyk's team already said that the rematch clause had been put in by Fury's side, which makes it look like games when Fury freaks out about the rematch clause his own side put in. Note that Warren had also told Usyk's team even before then that Fury was asking for too much money.

"Krassyuk told iD Boxing: 'I can only tell you from the words I hear from my negotiators, my partners Frank and George Warren. According to their reports, Tyson Fury was asking for too much money.'
Krassyuk went on to add: 'Even if Oleksandr Usyk if would get zero for the fight, it would still not be sufficient for Tyson to cover his [demands]." -Daily Mail UK, March 10.

So we've already had a list of unreasonable demands from Fury made public.

I used to think Dubois was real good, even after he lost to Joyce, i said to myself it was a bad eye that lost Dubois the fight. But then he nearly got stopped by last other opponent other day when he done his knee in or something im still not sure what happened. Now hes gone from something special to uncertain, how quick things change.
But if no usyk v fury i think its a good fight.

Let's also point out that if Usyk v Dubois/Joyce gets made quickly, we'll know that the hangup was Fury, not Warren. I'd bet Usyk satisfies his mandatories until the WBC situation shakes out.

So which is it? Fury was extremely upset in his rant that he had to give Usyk a rematch. Now Frank Warren in this article states Usyk asked for the rematch. So did Usyk ask for the rematch or not? Usyk’s manager ranted about a list of things but never said what those lists of demands were. Warren has now twice said it was the rematch split that was the only road block. Did Usyk ask for the rematch or not? I want to hear what Team Usyk says about this. If Team Fury didn’t want a rematch clause that could suggest they were pretty confident they would beat Usyk. So we have both the promoter & fighter on one side saying the other fighter demanded a rematch clause & they agree to it but didn’t like the split & the other team saying there was a long list of demands but refuses to list them or acknowledge that they were the party who asked for the rematch. I want to hear it from Usyk & his manager. What were the list of items? Did they ask for a rematch clause or not? Team Usyk pulled the plug so what is the reason? What are these items on the long list? All I read is it was Fury’s fault but the only ones speaking on it are Team Fury. Fury with his usual name calling tirades & twice Warren said it was the split on the rematch & he felt it could be worked out. Until this long list of demands is brought to light by Usyk’s manager I refuse to solely blame Fury for the breakdown of this fight.

Team Usyk - said the rematch clause was in the document when they first received it. But rematch clauses are standard for champions and a good thing for the fans and the boxers. That's why we have so many great trilogies. Fury was contracted to rematch Wlad - but then got out of it by "retiring". Was also contracted to rematch Wilder too

I don't understand why there is a fuss made over rematch clauses. It's sensible to have one for both fighters

Also why believe Fury and Warren? lol Usyk has a proven record of taking risky fights. (he fights everyone) Fury has a record of avoiding fights (he even avoided his contracted Wlad rematch!)
