Comments Thread For: Usyk Promoter Says Fury Needs to Furnish Proof of Injury to Move off Dec. 23 Fight Date

[FairPlay]

So the "done deal" fight is anything but. I said when that fight was "announced" that it is waaaay to early to get excited about it. Now even more it seems that the fight may never happen. I'm really not looking forward to Fury's next social media crapfest. He threatened to sue Usyk if the fight doesn't happen on 23rd, so what now? He also said that 8 weeks was enough for Joshua to get ready to fight him. Does he apply the same standards to himself? I don't care if he is the best heavyweight of this era; I don't care if he is the best heavyweight of all times, he is a piece of sh-t as a person and seems to be doing most of his battles on social media these days. Not that I am thrilled with Usyk's team either.
I still have this pipe dream that we will some day get a heavyweight champion who really is a sportsman in that old fashioned sense...

Hope he tells him to turn up or retire, not Usyk’s fault that Fury’s cherry pick blew up in his face.

fury will be joining AJ in the dark room soon

Of course not. I actually read a comment from one of his fanboys justifying this as "lineal champ's privileges".

No sympathy for Fury. Get in the ring.

If Usyk wants to be great, surely he wants to beat the best Fury and give him no excuses?

Usyk probably just wants the fight to happen. The longer it gets pushed out the more opportunity there is for something to go wrong with your boy.

Wasn't Fury the one pressing Joshua last year to fight him immediately after the Usyk loss? Hmm..

Fury said before the fight that Usyk had better turn up to that date. If Fury can't beat Ngannou - a novice boxer - he won't beat Usyk. That's the real reason Fury will keep putting the date off.

Fury is paying the price now for fighting so much low-level opposition. He can only beat full on brawlers or slow guys like Whyte

[Jsrr]

Usyk's new nickname after he beats Fury will be "The Soul Snatcher".
Wonder what kind of meltdown Fury will have after he loses?
If you thought AJ on the open mic was bad, wait till you see Fury!

By the way, he fought he rested during his 14-week training camp. He looked pudgy and out of shape. His dad looked to be in better shape than his son.
