Re: Fury Ducks Usyk again?
Groves told Sky Sports: "There is not a chance the Usyk fight is happening on that date. It is not Usyk on December 23, I don't think it's Usyk next. I think it's either Ngannou or that's the last of Fury.
"He tells everyone he is the Gypsy King, that he is the man, no fighter can ever beat him. There is someone right now who can beat him and it's Usyk. A lot of people will think the same.
"He doesn't need to roll the dice and get beat off the little gap-toothed Ukrainian guy.
"He'd rather just sail off into the sunset. He is an interesting character and there are lots of avenues he can explore after boxing. Doors that might be shut on him or not the same if he loses to Usyk.
"I think he is going to either rectify the last fight against Ngannou, which he will get paid a lot of money for and a lot of people would be interested in. He will train better and show up and perform.
"Or he might retire.
"There is no way he didn't wake up the next morning [after the Ngannou fight] with loads of doubts. 'Have I still got it anymore?' 'Why could I not handle this guy comfortably?'
"He might be questioning, 'do I really want to do it anymore?'
"He wasn't the 'people's champion' until after the second Denotay Wilder fight [in 2020] and he hasn't had that acid test since fighting Wilder [in 2021]. That is a long time.
"He hasn't had to work hard, hasn't had to struggle. Dillian Whyte didn't show up. Dereck Chisora was like a friend. It feels like a long time since he has probably been really backs against the wall.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
