Yes, Fury should get up close and use his physical advantages

But Fury still fights nothing like Chisora.....that is the point.

Fury can adapt. I know this......Chisora's kind of charging forward head down clueless and bull strong approach caused issues

Fury won't do this, but he can still close distance and rough Usyk up if he thinks it will help

But the very resoureful Usyk could also make this Fury tactic a difficut one to employ

Key point: Fury fights nothing like Chisora. So using the Chisora fighter in assessing Fury-Usyk I do not think is wise

No nothing ,

Personally i think AJ is trying to side step this but can't because Fury is tied up ,All AJ recent interviews have been nothing short of bizzare,

The latest from the WBC that Fury v Whyte is a 80/20 split might give AJ the chance to skip this and late Fury fight Usyk

The WBC can't by law put Whyte in a fight until the arbitration is over which is going to be earliest looked at in March ,

Fury wants out in March time so AJ might get his wish ,

Completely agree I think it's a really good competitive fight between two excellent fighters. I just think looking at it logically you'd have to side with Fury if making a pick.

Usyk was able to negate Joshua's advantages in size mainly due to Joshua's completely conventional and basic style being so easy to read. It's a completely different story against Fury who has the massive size advantage but also the ring IQ and ability to mix up attacks that Joshua lacked.

But does this stepaside mean we get Fury-Usyk, because if it does, thank you, AJ!!!

Lovely. I'd rather Usyk-Fury than Usyk-AJ II

All we need now is that useless sh1te, Whyte to throw a spanner in the works!

I still think an Usyk-AJ fight could be intriguing, and not at all a surprise on who wins...

AJ surely can't be as lacklustre and timid and cautious next time around....makes for an interesting fight.

I think Fury be clear enough vs. Whyte....

I'd prefer Usyk-Fury even over Fury-AJ at this stage.

Sounds like this will be all sorted by the end today ,

At least the plan of the next fight ,

I think AJ vs Fury was never on the table in the first place.

I also think none of this week was ever on the table either.

AJ was the big loser here, now he has to fight Usyk again.

And I don't think he has much chance of winning. I would like to see him win though, and then fight Fury.

The last week Hearn seemed desperate to get the step aside cash, Even now going on about its Fury fault surely your happy AJ gets to fights for the belts ?

I think Fury & his team could have played this out on purpose, AJ & Hearn obviously took there eyes of Usyk & now they have no way around him , Fury ego will love the fact it seems he had all the power here & upset the other two,

Whyte has been very quite through out the whole thing ,

Read today that Fury vs Whyte has been confirmed. Venue and date to be announced.

Whyte still hasn't signed contract!

Hopefully doesn't fall through

Well, if he really is all about wanting his shot and doing it for legacy n all that, then he should take his circa 8 million pounds and fooking fight

If Whyte doesn't sign then I never want to hear from him again.

Interesting times, because the wbc ordered 80/20, queensbury were able to go in high, so they are guaranteeing dillian a bit less than 8 million, there is no way fury is getting 30 odd million. Afternoon fight between 2 brits in america?

Frank & tyson agreed a deal before hand for a lesser amount and a split for the ppv + gate so they can go in high and have control of the promotion. (well that's my guess)

Now dillian is sat there silently, saying (without words) would you like me to help sell this fight? He has no reason to sign before the 21 feb.
