2. “ Fury does not have any other names that are better than Whyte on his record. ” uhm , what? Wlad ? Wilder ? You may think Whyte is better than Wilder, I might even think it, but Wilder has been a champion. Some people (wrongly) think he’s the biggest punching HW Ever!
I had to read your post many times to make sure I wasn’t reading it wrong and making myself look silly.
Keep it real Mate, for fucks sake.

dillian will get manhandled worse than deontay

You did not read it long enough.

1. Wilder got out boxed 10 rounds to 2 in their first fight and it was a robbery that Fury lost. The 2nd fight was an annihilation and one way brutal beating that did not require a 3rd bout. The 3rd fight was Wilder's best performance and that was still awful he gassed after the first round.

Sure Wilder knocked down Fury but so has Pajkic and Cunningham. Tyson gets careless.

2. I wrote "other" names meaning other than Wilder and Wlad.

I am keeping it real.

Frank Warren has said that scoring controversies are “killing the credibility of boxing” and that he does not want British judges for the fight between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte.

The promoter’s comments come in the wake of the Josh Taylor’s win over Jack Catterall, which was scored the champion’s way in a split decision after a fight that Catterall appeared to have the better of.

The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) are investigating the scoring of the fight, particularly that of judge Ian John-Lewis.

With Whyte and Fury due to face one another in a high-profile heavyweight clash at Wembley Stadium in April, it would be expected that an all-British encounter would be overseen by a home referee and panel of judges.

But The Times reports that Warren has written to the BBBoC to say he does not want British officials appointed, and urged the organisation to “downgrade” the “incompetent” judges.

“This has to stop, it was terrible for Jack [Catterall] and is killing the credibility of boxing,” Warren wrote.

“If they were football referees they would be downgraded but what happens – they move on to the next show without any accountability.

“I do not want British officials for Fury-Whyte.

“As our governing body, stop this chummy jobs for the boys and do something for the sake of our sport, the Jack Catteralls, and downgrade these incompetent officials.”

Whyte is not expected Tuesday’s press conference ahead of the 23 April fight.

The 33-year-old will challenge the unbeaten Fury for his WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles.

Tyson Fury says he will quit boxing after world title defence against Dillian Whyte

Tyson Fury revealed that his fight with Dillian Whyte would be his last as he accused his opponent of “showing a white flag” for failing to attend a news conference at Wembley Stadium in advance of their World Boxing Council heavyweight showdown on April 23.

Fury said: “This is the final fight of my career, I’m retiring after this. $150 million in the bank, healthy, young, I’m gonna buy a massive yacht abroad. I’m retiring, I’m out, this is my final fight, I’m done.”

Fury, who said he wanted to spend more time with his wife and six children, also reserved special praise for the three fellow heavyweight world champions, Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, and Oleksandr Usyk, for joining the war effort in their native Ukraine.

Undefeated Fury’s defence of the WBC crown against mandatory challenger Whyte is being seen as the biggest all-British heavyweight spectacle since Lennox Lewis knocked out Frank Bruno in Cardiff 27 years ago, but it was a bizarre afternoon at the national football stadium as the champion took on all the promotional duties in Whyte’s absence. Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, branded Whyte’s no-show as “disgraceful and not professional”.

He explained that Whyte’s team had requested extra payment “for promoting the fight” beyond the 80/20 split ordered by the WBC sanctioning body in favour of the champion after the British promoter won the purse bid a month ago with a record-breaking £31 million.

Fury will earn £25 million for the fight, while Whyte is set for the biggest payday of his career, £6 million. “Whyte will come to regret this. It’s a huge occasion and he is not here. But I’m not concerned. This is the Tyson Fury Roadshow. It is never about the opponent,” Fury said.

Fury added, nonetheless, that his mandatory challenger was being taken as seriously as any opponent he has faced in an unbeaten 32-fight career. “He’s a game guy, a tough fighter, and he ranks in the top 10 of the opponents I have faced. They always have a puncher’s chance [against me]. If I can’t look like Muhammad Ali boxing this guy then I’m in the wrong position and I’m not as good as I think I am. There’s a gulf in class. You’re going to see a boxing masterclass, the Ferrari racing the Vauxhall Corsa.”

Warren said: “We agreed the fight under the terms of the contract. Then he wanted to renegotiate. We offered Whyte a private jet to fly here, and the answer was still ‘no’. I have never heard of a fighter not turning up to publicise a fight. It’s a disgrace. It’s the biggest payday of his career. He is in Portugal and it is very disappointing.”

On the Klitschko brothers and Usyk, Fury said: “It’s fantastic. I’ll be the first one to join up if England get involved or America.”

As I've said before I think this will be a good fight. Far from the foregone conclusion others see it as. Assuming they make it to the ring. Funny how often that caveat has to be included isn't it?

But the build up is going to be fucking torture. Every Tom Dick and Harry sticking a camera in John or Tommy Fury's face so they can sound off every five minutes. Tyson's 'media blackout' that lasted all of five seconds. Bob and Frank sitting in their ivory towers at every opportunity telling us all how terrible and unprofessional everyone else in boxing is. Not them though. As pure as the driven snow the pair of them.

The more I think about it the more I appreciate Dillian keeping his mouth shut and not turning up for the media. It's one less source of repetitive bullshit we have to live through. If he'd been smart though, he would have cited car trouble and a dead smart phone as reason for his no show. That is a perfectly valid reason for not attending a press conference as Tyson well knows. OK that's a load of bollocks. We all know he didn't show for the Wlad rematch presser because he already knew it was dead in the water. But still. Good for the goose and all that...

Talk Sport Radio have coverage of the fight and will promote it to the hilt.

No way is this Fury last fight either. He will do and say anything to fill out Wembley.

Tyson Fury causes a stir as drugs cheat Jarrell Miller joins camp for Dillian Whyte fight

World champion Tyson Fury has made the headlines after drafting in the help of disgraced heavyweight Jarrell Miller to help him prepare for his all-British bout against Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium. The WBC champion will put his belt on the line as he is set to participate in his first UK fight since 2018.

Fury last fought in a brutal grudge trilogy against Deontay Wilder, knocking the Bronze Bomber out in Las Vegas last October. It was an emphatic way to emerge triumphant from their feud - and he has a new sparring partner to help ready himself for his British return.

The 33-year-old was dealt a setback when training partner Jared Anderson, who was booked to fight on the undercard, picked up an injury and was forced to drop out of the event. Fury has announced a replacement though, with Miller coming in just three weeks from the clash with Whyte.

Given the American is currently banned from competing in the ring, Miller's selection is a controversial one. The 33-year-old failed three drugs tests ahead of his clash with Fury's rival Anthony Joshua in 2019 - with Andy Ruiz Jr brought in as a late replacement before securing a stunning upset win.

Miller escaped a more severe punishment as it emerged his boxing licence had expired, so the New York State Athletic Commission were unable to impose a ban. Having signed with Top Rank, Miller was set to fight Jerry Forrest a few months later but tested positive for banned substances cardarine and endurobol.

He was then handed a backdated two-year ban, which he has been serving since December 2020. Miller will soon be allowed to return to the professional arena - and could even face his new sparring partner Fury.

https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...=f&x=273&y=142

However, news of his arrival within Fury's camp was not particularly positive. Once TalkSport reporter Michael Benson revealed Fury had brought in Miller, several fans voiced their disappointment and frustration on social media.

Everything Boxing (@EverythingBoxi2) quote tweeted the news, and wrote: "That is a horrible look for boxing."

It appears Miller's drug ban remains a sour taste in many fans' mouths ahead of Fury's clash with Whyte at Wembley Stadium on April 23.

Drug cheat, using a two time drug cheat, in preparation for a two time drug cheat. It all makes perfect sense. No need for any faux outrage. Boxing doesn't give a shit. Why should anyone else.

That is the sorry state of it. Mental really with Fury so deluded he probably even believes his own story. Whyte may well end up waking him up a bit which again would be quite funny and ironic given the stick Fury dishes out.

the maximum capacity has been extended to ninety four thousand?

The undercard looks like a right car crash. I don't think anyone will be surprised by that. He's probably got about 25 quid left in the budget to put on the remainder of the promotion. Lowe Ball (Ironic) is apparently for the WBC Silver trinket. Not sure if that was always the case or if it's been shoe horned in so Frank can be Frank and claim a second 'wuwled tidal' fight on the card.

Not really been paying much atte! ntion to this one but what's going on with the rumours that whyte might pull out. Also hearing ruiz has been put on stand by. Again maybe just rumours.

I think Eddie put out an April fools post saying Whyte will pull out and people being idiots took the bait and continued to peddle the 'story' long after it was funny. It was funny whilst it was in Eddies head and only funny to Eddie.

Warren desperately trying to recoup the money he overspent on this fight. He has little money for the under card and Whyte is not even trying to sell the event as his payment is set.

Looks like Fury will have to try and save/sell the day.

Tyson Fury's US promoter Bob Arum vows to 'cut ties' with Daniel Kinahan companies

Tyson Fury's co-promoter has vowed to cut all ties with alleged crime boss Daniel Kinahan after the US government a $5 million bounty on the Irishman. Kinahan, who has previously been named by the High Court of Ireland as a senior figure in organised crime on a global scale, has long been associated with Fury and his team, and was a key figure in the initial negotiations for the Fury v Anthony Joshua bout that began in 2020.

That clash never went ahead after Deontay Wilder intervened, ultimately winning a court ruling that ordered Fury was duty bound to fight him next. Prior to that development though, 'The Gypsy King' had publicly thanked Kinahan for helping to broker the agreement, saying: "Big shout-out Dan, he got this done, literally over the line, two-fight deal, Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua next year."

This was depsite Kinahan claiming he had cut all ties with his company, MTK Global, in 2017. In the past, as well as Fury, he's acted as an advisor for Billy Joe Saunders. He was also photographed with the WBC champion recently in Dubai.

Now though, Irish police commissioner Drew Harris said anyone in boxing who deals with Kinahan are involving themselves with serious criminals: "What was implicit before, and what some individuals could choose to ignore, is absolutely explicit - if you deal with the individuals who are sanctioned as part of the Kinahan organised crime gang, you are dealing with criminals engaged in drug trafficking," he said via The Guardian.

"And, indeed, as we have seen here very tragically in Ireland and also in Spain, murderous feuds [and people] who will resort to vicious actions up to and including murder." And now Bob Arum, who promotes Fury alongside Frank Warren, has pledged to end all relations with Kinahan and his companies.

American sport reporter Lance Pugmire quoted him as saying: "We won't have anything to do with Probellum and we're looking to cut whatever ties we have with MTK." BT Sport, Sky, the BBC and TalkSport, all of whom have covered Fury's fights and other boxers associated with MTK, have also been warned by police.

The saga has overshadowed the build-up to Fury's next fight, his title defence against Dillian Whyte on April 23. On Tuesday, the Manchester man was accused of treating his opponent and fans "like s**t" by his brother, Dean Whyte.

'The Body Snatcher' is seemingly livid over what he considers an inadequate spilt purse. As a result, he refused to attend the press conference to promote the fight on March 1.

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/boxi...e734b6ae630ffd

Bob ethically agrees to not have anything to do with the drug guy the minute it would mean the FBI sanctioning his company, freezing his bank accounts and sending forensic accountants through every piece of paperwork going back to the statute of limitations. :)

Dillian Whyte camp responds to possibility of replacement stepping in for Tyson Fury fight

Dillian Whyte’s brother Dean has insisted there is no need for a replacement fighter for next week’s bout against Tyson Fury.

Fury and Whyte are set to meet for the WBC heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23 April after a bad-tempered build-up.

Representatives from both camps have been involved in a series of disputes over various contractual issues with Whyte refusing to appear at a press conference last month.

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren revealed last week they have an unnamed fighter ready to step in should Whyte pull out of the fight on late notice – although the Queensberry Promotions chief added there were no suggestions of that happening.

Whyte’s brother Dean insists however the Brixton heavyweight is ‘raring to go’.

https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...=f&x=562&y=245

‘It’s surprising that they’ve lined up a substitute, although maybe not that surprising if you consider the magnitude of the fight and how much money they have spent on it,’ Whyte told BoyleSports.

‘Maybe they feel discussions with the team aren’t going well and Dillian’s silence, maybe that’s giving them some reservations that Dillian might not turn up.

‘But he’s training very hard, he’s putting all of the work in in the gym. And all of the talking is going to be left to be done in the ring.

‘Dillian is mentally in great shape, physically he’s in great shape. He’s ready and raring. He’s all smiles but he’s serious underneath, he knows he’s got a task at hand.

‘We know our game plan and we’re going to go out there and impose what we need to impose.’

Boxing fans in America must pay $70 to watch Tyson Fury take on Dillian Whyte

American fans will have to shell out $70 to watch next week's world heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte on pay-per-view.

The massive clash between Fury and Whyte will take place at Wembley Stadium, Fury's first fight back in the UK since his first meeting with Deontay Wilder in 2018.

But despite an early start-time that will likely see the main event take place in the late afternoon for most, the PPV will still cost more than twice what it will for UK viewers.

However, the $70 price point for the PPV event is a step down from what fans in America are used to paying for Fury events. His two rematches with Wilder cost $79.99, while their first meeting cost $75, meaning that it's slightly discounted from normal.

The event will cost £25 in the UK, which amounts to around $33. This major disparity is generally due to PPV boxing events being bought for viewing parties in America, with pals chipping in to get the cost down.

Fury has established himself as a major box office draw in America. His two vicious knockout wins over Wilder in their trilogy that also featured a draw accrued over 2 million buys collectively. But Whyte has yet to gather that same traction, likely leading to a reduced interest in this bout relative to the Wilder ones.

"We think it has a good chance to do maybe half-a-million buys," Arum told iFL TV in January when the purse bid was confirmed. "Because everybody will get behind it and that's what our projections are to half-a-million. We're a little bit bigger country than the UK."

easy knockout for tyson

Bad timing for the forum to be out of commission, as I imagine this thread would've been hopping yesterday.

I wasn't able to see the fight live, as I had technical issues myself after I thought I had ordered the PPV. But luckily caught 99% of the fight on a delayed replay someone aired.

First thought... Whyte looked like shet. Granted, I hadn't seen much of Whyte before. And who knows how much was Whyte looking like crap and how of it was Fury making him look that way. All I know is I've read on here how Deontay Wilder wouldn't have a chance against Whyte. B.S. The modern-day version of Wilder takes Whyte's head off. Wilder lost against the best heavyweight in the world today. No shame in that. But in no way does this mean he'd lose against everyone else. At least not against Whyte.

But I gotta give Fury his just dues. I was never a Fury fan, especially after that atrocious title fight against Wlad in 2015 (seemed like further back). I figured if all of Fury's subsequent fights were going to look like that, I was going to swear off heavyweight boxing. But Fury has come a long way since then. I'll always give him massive props for stepping in and mercifully ending the non-stop soap-operatic shenanigans between Wilder and Joshua by taking the fight with Wilder. It was like unplugging a pipe. All the water started flowing again.

Having said all that, Fury is a nightmare for any heavyweight. Fast on his feet... more skilled boxer than most heavyweights... wicked smart in the ring... knows how to use his size advantage... and has deceptive pop he doesn't always get credit for. He's saying he's retiring and it's not the first time he's said that. But maybe this time he means it. He beat the boogeyman in boxing, namely Wilder, with knockouts the last two times... and Usyk pretty much a Fury fight against Joshua unnecessary. At age 33, with as many fights without defeat, he certainly can retire and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Dillian Whyte breaks silence on Tyson Fury defeat and claims fight was 'close' despite KO

In the aftermath of his brutal knockout defeat to Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte insisted he was not outclassed and the fight was a close contest. 'The Body Snatcher' had been waiting for his world championship chance since 2017 and in the biggest match of his life he was unable to usurp Fury from the top of the heavyweight boxing mountain.

A devastating uppercut in the sixth round sent Whyte tumbling to the mat, and despite making it back to his feet, his wobbly legs couldn't keep him upright and the fight was stopped by the official. He wasted no time leaving the ring and did not give a post-fight interview, but he gave a rather surprising assessment of the bout to BBC Radio 5 Live.

"There wasn't a lot in it - it was a close fight and I didn't feel like I was outclassed in there," Whyte said. "My game plan was to press him and start moving forward. I was trying to attack but one slip and I got caught with the shot.

"He's a big awkward guy - I was expecting that. It was always going to be an awkward fight, but I was trying to set up and be patient and land what I could early and from round three onwards start to press. It was a good learning experience."

Whyte developed a cut over his right eye and required stitches after the bout, but did not have to visit hospital. Fury meanwhile, was delighted with the victory and labbled his opponent a future world champion.

"Dillian is a warrior and I believe he will be a world champion," he shared. "One of the greatest and, unfortunately, he had to fight me tonight.

"You are not messing with a mediocre heavyweight, you are messing with the best man on the planet." Boos rang around the stadium as referee Mark Lyson spoke at length with the two boxers in an attempt to stop the bout becoming a mess in round four.

Fury was angered by Whyte during a clash of heads and after they were separated, the Body Snatcher landed a punch that left his opponent bad-tempered. The Mancunian composed himself and carried on his game plan of using his jab and long reach to keep a considerable distance between himself and Whyte.

He was happy to stay on the back foot and shrug off any offence thrown his way and waited for the opportune time to strike, doing so with aplomb. Fury claims he now wants to retire and wife Paris Fury thinks he would only compete again under one condition. "I would like him to come home now, he has nothing more to prove," she told BT Sport Box Office.

"If he had anything left to do I would say 'yeah Tyson you do it', he has nothing to prove, unless he really wants to box on. If he's just doing it for money or fame, he doesn't need that. We're very blessed and lucky to not need any more money, I'm happy with what we are and what we've got. I know in my heart I think the only reason that Tyson would come back is for a unification fight."

Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte judge labelled 'grotesque' for dubious fight scorecard

Mexican judge Juan Carlos Pelayo is facing heavy criticism for his scorecard at the time of Tyson Fury's brutal sixth-round stoppage of Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium. Heading into the bout, the Gypsy King had personally requested that no British judges would be ringside for the contest due to a series of controversial and iffy results in recent months, including Josh Taylor's super-lightweight triumph against Jack Catterall in late February.

His wish was fulfilled but despite the victory, the WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight champion is still likely to feel aggrieved with Pelayo's take on proceedings.

That's because he gave Whyte two of the five rounds before the ref called the contest to a halt, awarding the Body Snatcher Rounds 2 and 3.

Although it now seems irrelevant, it meant Fury was just one up at the time of the stoppage, something boxing journalist Dan Rafael has labelled "grotesque."

He wrote on Twitter: "Grotesque that Pelayo gave Whyte rounds 2-3. The only round he could possibly have won was the 1st."

Rafael was not alone in thinking the scorecard was dubious, to say the least...

One fan responded on Twitter: "He had landed 14 punches through 3 rounds. Ridiculous to have had him winning the fight at that point."

Another wrote: "Pelayo needs help, the other two cards are good."

Italy's Guido Cavalleri had Fury 4-1 up with Whyte awarded Round 1 - which surprisingly, he boxed southpaw.

Meanwhile, Canada's Robert Tapper had Fury winning all five rounds, which was the general feeling from those in attendance covering the fight.

Fury was in control from the get-go and he too also changed stance from orthodox to southpaw in the second round, in a bid to confuse Whyte.

The Gypsy King briefly had Whyte hurt in the fifth before the challenger recovered and briefly cleared his head.

But what would await him in the sixth was a peach of an uppercut that saw him fall on his back.

Whyte would beat the count but stumbled into the ropes, prompting Mark Lyson to correctly wave it off.

https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...6&q=60&o=f&l=f

Fury praised the man in the middle during his post-fight press conference, claiming he did not want to inflict further punishment on Whyte when he was clearly still badly hurt.

"I've thrown some good punches in my career but it was definitely a Wembley showstopper, wasn't it? A big right uppercut. I was very happy with Mark Lyson, he did a fantastic job," Fury said.

"If he had allowed it to continue and me to storm into him and hit him with two or three more then he may have been in some serious trouble.

"So big shout out to the ref. He made the right call there. I would have had to pile on to him again and hurt him, and I didn't really want to do that."

Tyson Fury to receive £26.2m from Whyte victory with 82/18 split

Tyson Fury is to receive £26.2million after he retained his WBC heavyweight world championship over Dillian Whyte.

The Gypsy King landed a huge uppercut in the sixth round with the Body Snatcher unable to continue with referee Mark Lyson rightly waving it off.

Fury's victory was fought in front of 94,000 people at Wembley Stadium, in what could be the final fight of his career.

There had been doubts over whether the fight would even take place after the two camps had struggled to come to terms over a deal.

In the end it was Fury's UK promoter Frank Warren who won the purse bid to stage the fight, with an 80/20 split in the Gypsy King's favour.

Following his defeat on Saturday night, Whyte is set to receive even less of a share from the purse split.

Fury was already set to receive £23million as his base purse for the fight, and after taking victory, he is set to earn an extra £3.2million as a winner's bonus.

In comparison, Whyte will receive just £5.8million from one of the biggest fights in British boxing history.

It also means the split will now fall to 82/18 in favour of the WBC world heavyweight champion.

This comes after Whyte admitted that he was unhappy with the original split in an interview with talkSport.

When asked last week if he would pursue a higher split, he said: 'No, no, it’s impossible.

'How am I gonna get it? The fight’s Saturday, that can’t change now, that can’t change now.

'They were never gonna change the split. The split just got manipulated and got forced upon me.'

He added: 'As WBC interim champion by rights I should be getting 45 per cent or 40 per cent minimum.'

After his dominant display at Wembley, Fury confirmed that it could be his 'final curtain' to his boxing career.

He said in the ring after his fight: 'I promised my lovely wife, Paris, of 14 years, after the (Deontay) Wilder 3 fight that would be it and I meant it.

'I had a war, it was a great trilogy and I meant that but I got offered to fight at Wembley at home and I believed that I owed it to the fans, I owed it to every person in the United Kingdom to come here and fight at Wembley.

'Now it's all done, I have to be a man of my word and I think this is it, this might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King and what a way to go out.'

Doubts have been raised over his retirement plans though after wife Paris was seen mouthing 'no chance' when Fury was talking about quitting the sport.

She later said that the only way he would return to the ring is if he were to have a unification bout.

This would likely either mean a fight with Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua, who are expected to have their rematch in the summer.

That was glancing blow at best. Chances are it was the push that hurt Whyte the most. Tyson Fury did what he does. But the belief that his size makes him near unbeatable is absurd. Size isn't everything (oo-er missus!). On a side note - Hopefully Frank Warren has set a precedent with this fight and will carry on not installing a rematch clause for mandatories. Eddie Hearn installing rematch clauses for mandatory challengers is just outrageous,

That's what's holding the heavyweights division up,...... these godamm rematches !!!!!!!

Considering these fighters only fight twice year, many fighters wait years to get a shot.

As to the fight. Honestly ? Whyte is an high level plodder. No bounce. No twitch. He has a style that doesn't age well and is not good at being pressure fighter. His cardio was sh*t and he was gassing after 2 rounds. But it's Fury's time

I agree rematch clauses should be outlawed and are unfair to the challenger.

The reason why there was not a rematch clause in the contract was because the fight went to purse bids.

The winner should have the right to fight whoever he wants.

I couldn't find a round to give Whyte and got the impression he was only half committed and just happy to be there. When he came out southpaw it was obvious to even the partially conscious he had no game plan. But Fury was brilliant, moving well and picking his spots and when to close the gaps. Did what he wanted when he wanted to do it and closed the show impressively. But let's talk the 800lb gorillia in the room...the instant GOAT and era talk is just whack. It was Dillian Whyte. Until he meets and dusts off Usyk or AJ put the brakes on that stuff ;D. Especially when the only thing he could go on about was "fighting" the mma fella and giving him ring center. And the Top rank media acted like Usyk and AJ don't even exist. Tyson says he's retired but it's more of a watch and wait for him. Before knowing how it all unfolds it's only fair to see IF and what comes of their rematch too. Fury will come ambling back around more so a Joshua *cough* win. They put 94k butts in seats at Wembley ffs and it's all the more case why even considering Dubai is asinine. Running on...Fury looked very impressive ;D

Yeah, I previously said Usyk had rendered a Fury-Joshua fight unnecessary. I've reconsidered, especially if Fury is going to be included in future ATG conversations. Yes, Joshua is damaged goods. But he's still someone the boxing world would love to face Fury. Tyson vs Usyk I'm not so sure about. This isn't a good matchup for Usyk, and the size would be too much of a hill to climb. Styles make fights, and I just don't think Fury-Usyk would be a crowd pleasing fight to the extent Fury-Joshua would.

In fact, I think AJ should face both Fury and Wilder before it's all over.

UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou expects a crossover fight with Tyson Fury to happen next year.

Ngannou, 35, joined Fury in the ring for a post-fight interview following his stunning sixth-round knockout of Dillian Whyte at Wembley on Saturday.

"We both want this fight, that's clear, and we respect each other," Ngannou said on the MMA Hour on Monday.

Fury, 33, has hinted at retirement from professional boxing but did not rule out competing under a different format.

Cameroon's Ngannou added: "Probably next year it will happen.

"I think it's going to happen, it's just a matter of our promotions, but we will sort this out at some point."

Ngannou is currently recovering from knee surgery and unlikely to be able to compete until at least December.

That is the same time his deal with the UFC ends, which would leave Ngannou in a position to agree a Fury fight without contract restrictions.

He says he is open to re-signing with the UFC, but only if a contest with Fury is implemented into a new contract.

"The Tyson Fury fight has to be part of the discussion [with the UFC] - there is no other option," said Ngannou.

"The UFC is a great promotion and I want to keep fighting. The Tyson Fury fight is not my last fight, there's still a lot of fights out there.

"There's Jon Jones, there's the Stipe Miocic trilogy, there's big fights I can do in the UFC and I'd really like that to happen."

Ngannou says the potential bout with Fury would feature a combination of boxing and MMA rules.

"Make it a hybrid fight, something that makes it a little uncomfortable for him as a boxer," he added.

"Ideas like MMA gloves or fighting barefoot. I don't know, we still have to figure this out.

"I would say there's a 70% chance [my next opponent] is Tyson Fury. On his side I would say 90% against me."

Meanwhile, Whyte has accused British rival Fury of using "dirty" tactics to retain his WBC heavyweight title.

Fury ended the fight with a devastating uppercut, but Whyte, 34, believes a push following the punch should have been penalised by the referee.

"I was buzzed, but obviously I was trying to regather my senses and he proper pushed me and I fell over and hit my head on the canvas, which is illegal," Whyte told Sky Sports.

"I got caught, no doubt about it. I got caught by a good shot. I was hurt, I was trying to get my senses together and he full on, two-handed pushed me. It wasn't like a one-armed thing.

"This isn't wrestling, this is boxing. I should have been allowed extra time to recover and then carried on fighting."

Eddie Hearn believes Dillian Whyte showed too much respect to world champion Tyson Fury ahead of their WBC title clash at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night. Hearn, who is both Whyte and Anthony Joshua's promoter, suggested the Brixton Body Snatcher will 'kick himself' for not being more aggressive on the night he finally earned himself a world title shot.

Fury dominated the scrappy bout and then struck a powerful right uppercut to the chin of Whyte to secure the sixth-round stoppage in front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Saturday night. The challenger admirably attempted to continue after originally getting to his feet, but the referee intervened after the 34-year-old stumbled and fell into the ropes.

After securing the win, Fury remains unbeaten in 33 fights and suggested he will likely retire as he declared he has 'fulfilled everything' he ever wanted to fulfil. The 33-year-old added it was his 'final curtain' as he promised wife Paris he would retire form boxing.

Hearn - who was not involved in the bout after Frank Warren won the purse bid - believes the WBC title holder will return to the ring, labelling the Gypsy King a 'fluff merchant'. While he dismissed Fury's post-fight actions, Hearn has also focused on Whyte - and believes he paid too much respect to the champion heading into the anticipated bout.

"I thought it was a bit disappointing. Obviously I was disappointed on Dillian's behalf," Hearn told iFL TVLink.

"I think he'll kick himself a little bit that he didn't do more in the fight. But it's very easy sometimes against a very good heavyweight like [Oleksandr] Usyk and like Fury to say, 'you should have done this and you should have been more aggressive, you should have cut the ring off and you should have done this'.

"Fury's very, very good. He's very awkward and he boxed a very smart fight; he didn't want to engage, he held a lot, he was very clever, he made it scrappy and boring and everything he needed to do, and then he produced a fantastic uppercut and a show-reel knockout.

"So I have to give him a lot of credit and respect, as I did when he FaceTimed me on Sunday several times. Gutted for Dillian, he'll come again. I think he was a little bit too respectful in the build-up, especially fight week. Well only fight week, because that was the build-up!

"I think he let Tyson just friend him a little bit before the fight and I think he'll kick himself that he wasn't more aggressive in the fight. But he lost to an excellent heavyweight and congratulations to Tyson Fury."

Prior to the contest, Hearn suggested Fury was not a one-punch knockout artist - which the Gypsy King clearly overcame in front of 94,000 fans last weekend. Hearn admitted Fury was gaining his respect after defeating the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, and Whyte in recent years.

Tyson has just said from the heart he is honestly retired on piers morgan show.

I'm now wondering if he means it....

I hope Whyte recovers quickly from his banged head, he was clearly winning the fight until that point. He got hit with a glancing blow at best and was fine.
Good luck Dillian in the future all real fans know you are the real champ.

He means it now but as his dad said Fury will get bored taking the bins out and once he gets the motivation back when he sees the hype from AJ v Usyk.

The money and becoming undisputed champion will be too much lure for Tyson to stay retired.

He will be back and he will wipe out anyone in his way.

After that he will face Chisora and retire in a farewell fight.

Is this Saddo Boxing or Pravda?

Fury Whyte was not a competitive bout, it was over-hyped fan robbing rubbish that was more about parading 'celebrities' than satisfying fans, the undercard says it all. Dillian can now retire in comfort with his 5.8m purse.

AJ got a boxing lesson from Usyck, I wonder how they think they can change the result next time? Glue his feet to the floor?

Master and his media pals insist on over hyping some of our heavyweights, which doesn't actually do them any favours at all, it wouldn't happen in football would it?

Sorry to sit on the fence

Fury aint gonna last long living in a house with 6 kids and a moaning missus. He'll wanna get back to training camp overseas asap!

Presumably the WBC title is now vacant? No? Thought not ;D
