Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk signed for Dec 23

Apparently it’s done and deal for December 23.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk confirmed for just weeks after Ngannou fight

 

Excellent news.

MTF

 

There is no way in Holy Hell I believe it happens in December. Not buying that for a single second. I can see it happening in Spring 2024, but don't hold your breath for December.

 

It says, "as soon as Dec 23...." meaning, not before. Sounds to me like the date is in no way final - only the agreement they will face each other.

 

No date announced yet: Fury to face Usyk in undisputed title fight in Saudi

MTF

 

That sounds more reasonable then.

 

One body shot from Fury and it's over

 

Hopefully Ngannou kos Fury…

 

Windmill Wilder might as well be prime Wilfredo Benitez in skill compared to the cage fighter Ngannou and he couldn't do it in three fights

 

imagine if Nganoou wins......

 

Wilder didn’t have Mike Tyson as a mentor…

but if Fury v Usyk is set…that tells me Fury is at least training a bit for the Ngannou fight..enough so that right afterward he can take a week or 10 days off and get going for the REAL fight…

so Ngannou has ZERO POINT ZERO 0.0 chance at even getting lucky…

 

All the While, the KEY to Getting Fury-Usyk Made was Daniel Dubois...

Makes sense for Fury and I genuinely hope its true. I hate fights made when one guy is past his best because it's been "marinating" for so long. Fury's legs are diminishing and I think he knows this, he doesn't beat Usyk when they're gone. The sooner he takes that fight, the better his chances.

 

exactly

seeing usyk get KOd certainly affected furys decision.

 

I think Usyk would have gotten up quicker if that shot had been called legal (which it definitely should have been), but that's just my opinion and I get the other perspective. We will never know, unfortunately.

 

agREED...

Usyk MILKED It Since the Ref Never Counted...




REED

 

Even if that's true he was in bad shape and could've been done. Dubois is what he is but he's big, can punch and has some skill

 

Look how fast Fury jumps on this fight after seeing Usyk is a body shot away from losing his titles and his O

 

REED Ain't Suggesting Usyk was in GOOD Shape, Per Se, But He Can't/Won't State Unequivocally that Usyk was in BAD Shape Either....

Looked like he was hurtin

Check this out. It will be a wonder if Fury makes it alive from the Ngannou fight

 

Fury will be lucky to see the 3rd round against this beast

 

espn announced this fight the other day on sportscenter, which i rarely watch, and they claimed Usyk was 6'9 same as fury. even had a tale of the tape graphic.

 

And now you see why HBO and Showtime will be missed.

They had flaws, but at least they know/knew boxing.

ESPN understands fuck all about boxing. They fired the only guy on the network who knows boxing.

 

But that's Just It X, Casuals Gonna Be Casuals...

Even in HBO & Showtime's Heyday, ESPN and Other Mainstream Outlets Made GLARING Errors...Casuals STILL Walked the Earth...Just as Boxing Will NEVER Die, Casual Viewers of Boxing Will NEVER Die...

It's Like Bebe's Kids, Basically...

well, where in the FUCK is bebe??

 

Robin was one of the best stand-up comics ever. Gone far too early.

 

And even some of these so called sports channels don't have a clue about boxing. I watched an interview with Caín Velásquez the MMA fighter that went to jail for firing a concealed firearm at a chomo. This was on a YT channel called Jaxxon Podcast. And he (the host)said Tyson Fury is probably the best HW champion in history . Mind you I'm a Fury fan. But even I know Tyson far from being the GOAT. Cracks me up .
