Fury v Usyk is on.............!

[TIC]

there is talk that filip hrgovic could step in

[TIC]

sounds about right

[TIC]

sounds like the entire february seventeenth card has now been scrapped

I think Fury has just increasingly become a liability to the division. Tbh the quicker he calls it a day the better. No doubt the cut is obvious, but maybe next time save us all the circus attractions and properly take care of "fighting man" business when the opportunity first and freshly presents itself. Big goofball.

Shame is Usyk now forced to pivot on a dime and so many undercard fighters have the exposure and pay ripped from under them. All the liquid billions upon billions fawned over in Saudi and surly they are not being asked to leave empty handed. Can't see the belts staying as one if we're talking end of year now.

Usyk still listed but now vs TBA...show must go on right?

This is the problem with this Saudi stuff. It can’t be helped, but there’s not enough depth . Throwing mega money around won’t solve everything.
So now you have a great fight like Opetaia v Breidis shelved . How is that gonna happen now?

The more I see of the footage and hearing stuff I actually think this might be genuine the cut.

Crazy coincidence but genuine.

And unless the photo fury posted was air brushed I was surprised how in shape he looked.

[Master]

Fury looked in good shape for him and injuries happen but with a week to go you should not be anything that would put the whole card at risk.

Very unprofessional.

'Very Unprofessional' sums up his entire career. The sooner he goes, the better. He makes casuals out of actual boxing fans who should know better.

What ? Have you seen the footage ?



This looks like they used the same cameras that they use to capture UFO sightings. You notice every time you see a video of a UFO sighting on video it's always grainy and you can't see sh*t. I reckon they used a Nokia 3310 to film it (lol)



The video quality is sus asf.

1. They cut the video right at the moment of the "supposed" cut.
2. There is no clear angle of where the punch/elbow landed at all. It looks like it was bang on the chin to me.
3. Fury wipes his eye with his glove, which is white and there's no blood and then the video stops just before he gets close.

Fury had headgear on. The main purpose of headgear is to prevent cuts and abrasions on the face, not to pad the blow as many ppl think. So getting a cut with a headgear on is difficult. I was in boxing gyms for years and I can count on one hand the times I've seen someone cut with a guard on.

It's 2024 they know how to make them so it's hard to get cut.



Cuts like this will instantly start flowing blood like crazy. Go and prick your finger with a pin (even a tiny prick) and watch how quick blood will flow. There should have been blood on Fury's glove, his face, his body as well. Even Holyfield pointed to that, that is incredible hard to get cut with a headgear on

Initially his camp talked about a long postponement, until September at the earliest, and then when independent doctors have had a look (I guess) a new date is set in May.

The natural thing would be to try and sound as positive as possible so as to not derail such an event, but they went the other route. And why would they need at least nine months for a cut ?

All the rumours that Fury was having a sh*t camp look true. Also that Jay Opetia was giving Fury hell that too looks true. And there was all the rumours from the other camp that Usyk was in a fantastic shape and was sending sparring partners home.

The whole thing is dodgy, with the most dodgy fighter at the heart of it.

Crazy coincidence but genuine.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Maybe he also hurt his ankle before the Wlad rematch. Maybe a random farmer was feeding him tainted boar meat. Maybe he really did want to make the AJ fight and the Usyk fight in 2022. Maybe Sugarhill lied that he was NOT training him for the Usyk fight and Pop-Pop John was telling the truth. Maybe.

Maybe not.

His actions are against this being an accident. He only gets these problems and excuses when he has to face good opponents. I've never really been a tin-foil hat type but you're a very naïve if you're not suspicious but hey, I guess that is a requirement in order to be a real Tipsy Fan.

When the Tipsy King comes up with another reason to avoid the fight in May I wonder what you will say then?

What I also think is there a huge amount of karma for Fury given how much crap he gave Haye for pulling out of their fight with a nasty cut - he called Haye a shithouse and said a 'fighting man' wouldn't pull out due to a cut.

And unless the photo fury posted was air brushed I was surprised how in shape he looked.

So ? I think the problem is that Fury doesn't have a decent training camp left in him. He's got that silk pajama syndrome.

Fury might have to fake his own death to get out of this one



The edgelord grifter Fury is leading us into an indefinite postponement death spiral. The Klitschko rematch was postponed for a similar thing and then Fury just retired, and then unretired soon after Wlad himself retired and Klitschko has been the only good opponent he's beaten. He's managed to dine out on that for 8+ years and the fight was a stinking bore fest where Fury didn't hurt Wlad. At least AJ went for it and stuck it on Wlad and got him out of there.

Then there were very prolonged negotiations with AJ for undisputed, long enough for Wilder to pull the trigger on his rematch clause which Fury's people had reassured everyone was void by that point, except that it wasn't.

These things could all be in good faith as could this latest, and Fury just having terrible luck when facing his biggest challenges. But we do know that he actually faked being in camp for Usyk last year, Just for his own trainer to expose him. So we know he will go to some pretty big lengths to look like he's going for something that he actually wants no part of.

And this is the second cancelling of an official date with Usyk.

You can believe anything you want, but there is a zero chance that I won't question anything that comes from Fury or his team.

Wasn't in shape and would've got outslicked. Looked for a way out
