Fury will wrestle 50 nude midgets in a ring hanging over a pool full of alligators!

HW needs a shakeup. Usyk Fury had one meaningful punch in 24 rounds and neither guy looked like they really wanted it that much.

Fury can't pull the trigger anymore. AJ is washed. Wilder is washed and rinsed. Usyk is the best HW technically but he isn't exciting to watch.


I won't pay for any combination of them. These old guys all need to retire and let the division heat up with young guys fighting for the belts.

Anthony Joshua would knock Tyson Fury the spark out!

This is positive news to hear Fury speaking like this.

Regardless of what people say, Fury versus Joshua is still a fight that needs to happen. We need a definitive confirmation of exactly which order these two rank in as the consensus second and third best heavyweights of their generation.

In my HUMBLE OPINION, this is cool and sucks. It sucks because he lies so much. It is cool and it sucks because I truly believe that he has the ability to be the absolute king. He is a fantastic boxer and when he got with Sugarhill, he learned how to throw thunder. King of the world is not for everyone - it takes discipline that most people in the world EVER don't have. He has shown flashes of that and it stinks that he does not have that final push in him!

Stop it. AJ is trash.

Man Fury take your loss to usyk on the chin, lot more dignity in it. If you truly wanna fight him again make an AJ fight and go for it, he’s just boring atm.

Hey, I'd rather a disgruntled fighter after a loss say, "Screw it, I'm retiring", than "My corner poisoned me, my opponent had loaded gloves or, I'm a victim of a conspiracy". Returning after saying the former is less shameful than returning after saying the latter BS.

Hagler style

May as well get the Joshua money while it's there.

I think that depends on one's perception vs knowing fact. For instance, maybe Fury believes he won the second fight vs Usyk, hence the conspiracy comments. Conversely, Wilder knows that Fury beat him in their second fight, but he insisted that Breland sold him out, poisoned him, his ring walk suit tired him out, and Fury's gloves were illegal.

It's not one or the other with Fury, he's said a bit of both. After the first Usyk fight, he said the reason Usyk got the decision is because he's from Ukraine and implied the decision was given because Usyk's country is at war. That's almost as ridiculous as Wilder's claims.

After the Usyk rematch, he said he'll retire due to the "robbery". For me, he came across as a sore loser in both instances. Now he's saying he'll only fight Usyk in the UK to get a "fair" decision, as if Saudi is somehow part of Ukraine and the UK officials are free of controversy.

You can say he comes off better than Wilder but that's not hard and he's not far off how Wilder came across after his losses to Fury.
