Via Charles Brun: Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk today named WBC belt holder Tyson Fury, calling him the “Borracho,” means a drunkard in spanish.
IBF, WBA & WBO champion Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) says he wants to fight Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) next, ideally. Of course, that will depend on how the negotiations go.
If Fury continues that in the same way he approached the fight with Anthony Joshua, we won’t see a Usyk-Fury fight forever. Instead, it will likely be another Dereck Chisora-esque rival for ‘King of Gypsy’ while what remains of his popularity in the United Kingdom is rapidly fading away.
With Fury’s impatience he showed during the failed negotiations for the Joshua clash, it became a spoiled toddler, someone who had become so tough that he couldn’t. remain calm enough to deal with the give and take of negotiating a mega-fight.
Hopefully, for Usyk’s sake, Fury’s management keeps him strangled in the negotiations as they can’t let him ruin things again with his ham approach in the fights. negotiate.
If you’re Usyk, it would be a good idea to have Deontay Wilder speed dial as a plan B when/if the negotiation with Fury turns out to be as disastrous as the talk with Joshua.
“I am calling for Tyson Fury. Hey, Tyson, borracho, let’s make it happen. Hey, borracho, let’s fight; Let’s determine who is the best in the tournament, who is the best in the world. Borracho, Tyson Fury, you borracho,” Oleksandr Usyk told Secondask Tyson Fury to fight him next.
I can say that the match between Usyk vs. Fury will determine who is the best in the weight class, and it certainly won’t determine the most popular fighter in the weight class.
What is needed is a heavyweight tournament to decide who is the best. These are the required participants:
- Deontay Wilder
- Oleksandr Usyk
- Tyson Fury
- Joe Joyce
- Daniel Dubois
- Anthony Joshua
- Luis Ortiz
- Andy Ruiz Jr
- Frank Sanchez
- Arslanbek Makhmudov
- Filip Hrgovic
- Martin Bakole
- Lenier Pero
“Tyson Fury is our biggest priority,” Usik said. “I was asked who I also wanted to fight; I mentioned Deontay Wilder. Now people try to say my next opponent is Wilder. No, that’s not true.
“My next opponent is Fury. After I beat him, I will discuss with Deontay.”
