LOL. It really does look like a hostage situation. "His Excellency" is all fired up. Fury better play ball or else his head may end up in a burlap sack.

Yep… this people don’t play … very sensitive to do business with them and things don’t go their way… When the Saudi guy said the 10 million $ fine … fury’s face lmao!!!! He was about to cry, he didn’t knew nothing about that … lol!!!!!!!!

Yes, the Saudis definitely don't play. Fury should probably read up on Sharia Law over there and understand that they do public executions. Mass executions of up to 200 people per year. That's not even counting the assassinations that occur behind-the-scenes.

Rescheduled for May 18!





Lol, they agreed to forfeit 10 mil. in case someone pulls out:

How’s that fair for Usyk ? Fury gets two free pull outs ….but Usyk gets 10 million fine if he does once ….bullshit

You're right. The fight was delayed initially because of Fury and it's been delayed again because of him. Still, that $10m fine applies to either fighter should they be behind a future postponement.

If Turki suspects that Fury is "scared" then he'll not waste any further time on this fight and will call for him to fight Joshua instead. He'll then allow Usyk to fight an opponent of his choosing.

Maybe Saudi princes want to stage undisputed fight for PR reasons to promote their countries....

For PR these countries are doing a lot, for example Qatar staged fastboats competitions , despite relatively low interest from locals etc.

 

[SandisLL]

He'd be smart to target the cut area with his straight left hand / overhand left. That's his best punch and that's what would be landing there. Fury already has a lot of scar tissue in that region anyway from Wallin so it's always at risk of reopening. He needed 46 stitches after Wallin sliced him open.

If injury is real...then Usyk might achieve this with jabbing too...if will be good day for him.

 

[defjaam]

Fury sitting here with his big mouth and claiming he doesn't need more than five weeks for preparation, with Usyk visibly feeling disrespected. And now he needs three more months after single-handidly tanking an entire event with his unprofessional approach towards boxing.

Suspects?

Fury has pussy written all over himself, Turki knows this is the fight to make (Fury-Usyk) and win or lose Fury-Joshua will sell so no need to rush into that fight

nonsense .. he took on wilder, who was supposedly the baddest man on the planet and hardest puncher ever(still arguably), 3 times .. ridiculous to even say that .. I await your backtracking post after he beats usyk

Usyk isnt gonna pull out. Id imagine this is all about fury.

The last time Fury postponed a fight twice he sat about sniffing gear in his y-fronts for 3 years, and that was a rematch for a fight he apparently gave a boxing master class in.

Lets see if he actually turns up first.

Maybe. Usyk's record proves that he was traveling around world boxer without fear to fight vs local tickets sellers in their area.
So not likely Usyk will pull out somewhere.. .
What he does have to loss? He already is ower the hill HOF material.

February 22 will mark 4 years since he won the belt from Wilder and he’s made a whopping 3 title defenses, one of them got ktfo a fight prior and another he already beat years ago but ok

 

[borntoloseNOT]

Probably hoping to have a solid camp, lose some excess rust, and get Usyk mentally fatigued by repeat camps and prolonged games.

He doesn't want to play games with the Saudis. Unless he wants a black bag over his head and a sword to his neck. His con artistry might work anywhere else in the world but not in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There's capital punishment for stuff like that.

Fury's best win is Wilder that was easily beaten by Parker. Wilder has a career of knocking out cans. I mean AJ made quick work of Wallin too and Fury struggled with him. Nganou was a questionable win.

Fury is probably just looking to pick up the big pay day here and run with it. I'm not even sure he actually believes he can beat Usyk from what I've seen.
