Man finds a favorite meal at his restaurant he's likely to reorder it one too many times ;D. He had Wilder on a blueprint after the "draw" and other than one scary shat his shorts round, he basically dominated Wilder in II and the unnecessary "clause" 3rd that pooched a road to AJ.Quote:

Still the most dangerous one though. I'd still say that now. Even if you dominate wilder he's still dangerous and capable of taking you out at any second.
On the boxing side I think Usyck should just get on with it and ignore Fury, he has plenty of big money fights out there, which will be interesting to see, the longer it goes on Fury will resort to mediabollox crap with wrestlers MMA or whatever and end up on love island, Usyck can offer Fury a fight when Fury's 43 yrs old at 80/20, up yours media manQuote:

That, of course, is if he gets past April fools day. Jermaine Wassname 9/1 on betfair. I guess that a week before a 'fight' Joshua has not come up with the time honoured ' I'm too busy concentrating on my next fight', because he, and all the officials, knows he's going to win.Quote:

“Tyson just falls in love with these people and finds out they are not who they seem to be.
“It is all about pound signs and he has put SugarHill where he is.

“Get rid of them, clear the board. How does the heavyweight champion need all this?
“It would be easier if he did it all himself and he has got capable people around him to help him do it.
“Not just me. With sound people around him we can make the right decisions and get on with it.
“Get rid of them all. They all want to be his best mate but as soon as things get a bit sticky and he gets a few bad comments, people want to distance themselves from him.”

Promoter Bob Arum, who takes care of Fury's career in America, has declared that the pair were expecting much higher paydays in Saudi Arabia, particularly after Usyk made massive money during his last trip to face Anthony Joshua in August.
"In the Middle East, they have a tendency to put up a lot more money than any place else," Arum told reporter Steve Kim. "It's normal for all kinds of people whether they're promoters or fighters to hold out and hope that lightning strikes, I mean, that was the problem with Fury-Usyk negotiations.
"The deal that was worked out for Usyk in London was he was pretty well guaranteed between £12-15million which is almost $20m. But he had talked previously with the Saudis who were interested in doing this fight but not until the winter, where they had apparently agreed to pay him $60m. So can you blame him for being disappointed with $15-20m? No, that's human nature."
Once it was determined that the Middle East was out of the equation, Fury angled to move the fight to Wembley Stadium in London, where the pair would be paid considerably less. He then demanded that Usyk agree to an unheard of lopsided 70/30 split in order to make the fight happen.
When Usyk agreed, with the caveat that Fury donate £1m from his purse to the people of Ukraine, Fury then insisted that there be no rematch clause for the fight. It later emerged that Fury was also not planning to pay the £1m to Ukraine, and that the losing fighter's promoter would instead front the money.
Ultimately, talks broke down between the two sides when a split for the rematch couldn't be agreed, with Usyk's team wanting a reversal of the wild split if they entered the second fight as champion. Fury's team pushed for 50/50, and a deal was taken off the table with both men set for other challenges in the meantime.

deontay wilder is now the new wba number one. if they can get daniel dubois to step aside a fight with oleksandr could happen
That's absolute corruption 101 there. Wilder has done fook all for 3 years. He and Fury probably working that out last time in Dubai :p.Quote:

"So when he read that he was like ‘I’m done with these negotiations’.
"When you know someone, not only physically, obviously you’re going to fight them so you study their craft.
"But you know them mentally - why are you playing into their games?
"Usyk had these negotiations. I’m not playing into these games anymore."

the wba has now officially ordered oleksandr v daniel dubois
Usyk has now spoken out, telling Volodymyr Kobelkov about Fury: “I see that nothing is going on, he is trying to play us, and I said, ‘That’s all, bye’…
“He says, ’70/30, I am the king. It’s all thanks to me.’ I don’t respond to that. I understand that this is a mental game.
“The king is the king. And the king does not need to shout that he is the king.”
Usyk took a parting shot at Fury as he added: “He is trying very hard to copy the great Muhammad Ali, but the copy is very bad.”
Now, the Ukrainian has been ordered by the WBA to defend his belts against their mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois next.
Usyk has accepted this and, when asked about his next fight, admitted: “It will probably be Daniel Dubois at the end of the summer…
“I will go to Britain, I love it very much. My first big achievements were in Britain. Then Anthony Joshua. I like this place, I like the fans, the people

It will be interesting to see what Usyk does with this rumour of a December tournament in the middle east. Will he now face his mandatories Dubois or Hgrovic in the summer or will they be paid off and he is inactive until the end of the year?
What will Fury do, will he also decide to not fight until December as AJ has said he will? Wilder will not be facing Ruiz do has no obligations.
This means that the top 4 heavyweight fighters will be inactive waiting for the middle east money.
It also leaves Joyce out in the cold although I am sure he would not mind beating up the best of the rest.
Usyk will probably fight one of his mandatories because he knows he'll win and it keeps him ticking over. Unlike the rest , with Usyk it's Boxing 1st, Money 2nd .Quote:

it doesn't matter what Wilder does , he's an irrelevance .
and Joshua has already said he'll sit it out till December , which is disapponting.
Let's see what Joyce does the weekend. But it has been noticeable that recently he has been far more vocal and dismissive of the champions , and i think that's a gameplan his team have devised to drag one of the big boys out .
To be honest, in answer to the original question on the header of this thread, Usyk should do exactly the same! slag off the rest as bums and keep pointing out that Fury ducked him .
It might not work , but it would release some pent up frustration at being avoided and have a bit of fun with it as well.
