TBH it doesn’t really matter as I don’t see any of the current crop giving fury much trouble, that’s even if the match gets made. I think the only match that would have definitely got made would have been AJ-Fury, had AJ won last night. Got a feeling fury will give it up and Usyk will pick it up and unify them

Who’s the mandatory for the WBC?

It’ll be the winner out of Wilders fight and Ortiz/Ruiz. I’ll put money on it.

With a decision on its way regarding Tyson Fury’s World Boxing Council belt coming on August 26, all will become clearer on the situation.

As things stand, the Wilder vs Helenius bout on October 15 and Ruiz vs Ortiz on September 4 are both sanctioned as WBC eliminators.

This situation means the two winners will collide for Fury’s vacant strap in the coming months. That’s provided “The Gypsy King” walks away – as expected.

If he doesn’t, Fury can have a voluntary defense.

Then, the eventual Wilder/Helenius vs Ruiz/Ortiz final becomes a mandatory eliminator. Either that or a collision for the interim title.

AJ and Respect are not words that should ever go together after last night and his famous BLM speech

Hopefully this is the last we see of him in the ring unless its to face wilder

Exactly he gave it his all and come up short. People can respect him for that as well as making good instead of a life of crime BUT he has to remember he is representing the United Kingdom on a world stage and totally embarrassed the whole nation with that nonsense after the fight. From what I have seen he hasn't even apologised.

Have you seen the state of our political class. I doubt AJ has damaged the UK’s reputation anymore than Boris and the rest of the those muppets already have. Did you see how BJS behaved before his fight with Canelo? The way he disrespected a Mexican journalist during an interview.

Just because someone else does it. It doesn't make it all right and yes Boris has made us a laughing stock which still doesn't excuse AJ. He should know better!

He was caught up in the moment. He can’t win whatever he does if he shows no emotion then he doesn’t have any hunger or fight left in him, if he does then he’s a national disgrace. It’s really not that big of a deal. But haters gonna hate.
 
Never been a split decision but this is boxing.

I thought Usyk took that by 3/4 rounds. Better boxer technically, better movement, better defensive boxing, better combinations.

I'm not actually sure which I find more annoying. The utter BS that Fury always comes out with or the fact that his fanboy fans absoloutely lap it up.
The way his diehard fans love to chuck around the word 'dosser' and claim he is the GOAT HW but ignore his poor resume, drug cheat history and his incredible run of 5 world title fights and 2 title defences.

It's amazing how he gets credit for beating fighters he's never been in there with. Have to hand it to the guy, top tier salesman. Probably should go into promoting.

This, completely this. It's why I can't understand how Fury fans fall for the act. He's a compulsive liar, drugs cheat, sexist and homophobic mental health advocate who is happy to pile on someone when they're down but then pulls the mental health card when it's the other way around. His resume is weak in comparison to others, yet claims to be the greatest of all time. He, by his own words, isn't in it for the money, but then will only fight AJ/Usyk for 500 million. As Hearn once put it - "he loves a pound note". Also, which charity did he donate the entire Wilder purse to again? :rolleyes:

He's undoubtedly a fantastic boxer and would beat AJ, but some way to go before he can be considered a true great in my eyes.
 
Ugh, he actually threw the belts out of the ring! I didn't see that previously.

As I said before, he's really not been the same since the first Ruiz fight, he does not seem to be quite all there. I also think his punch resistance has dropped (not that it was ever super high). Did anyone see the Zhang fight before the main event? I can't see AJ taking more than a couple of those big shots from Zhang.
