First working day after the win the IBF announced they are stripping Uysk of the belt for Dubois and Hrgovic to fight for????

This is what spoils this sport.

How long has Tyson held these belts while inactive and AJ at times. 

As soon as them two 'super stars' don't have them and the 1 man that deserved them is in possession the governing bodies step in to split em up.

f***ing joke.

they knew it was happening well before the fight mate

Some of the more serious and learned boxing aficionados are firmly of the opinion that the fix was on and it’s reflected in the scorecards imho .

Be of no doubt that the boxing councils and Saudi Arabian media teams wanted Tyson to win , he’s a massive draw . More fights , more exposure to the resorts from Joe Public . 

the fight to me looked pretty unanimous,  a split decision will coax fury back in easier , how anyone has fury ahead on that performance or anywhere near , needs to have a look at the positions they held . 

I read as well that I order to maintain the fight going ahead , John fury was basically given carte Blanche to act how he wants , be of no doubt that if that has been held in madison square gardens , he’d have been back to Heathrow asap . The man isn’t allowed a visa to America for a start as a convicted felon as is there terminology . 
 

money talks wherever you look in sport 

Funny enough the judge that scored it evens works for the wbc the only belt fury held strange coincidence lol

Agree with that. The ref undoubtedly 'saved' Fury when he was staggered across 3 sets of ropes. Had Usyk been lurching like that,with his head obviously scrambled, the ref would have jumped in. The count was very dodgy too.

I think existing champions are  usually always given favourable treatment by refs. It's often an unconscious thing as well as deliberate.

I thought Usyk might have to stop Fury to get the decision. As it turned out justice was delivered, which sometimes isn't the case in boxing.

I think it was the best heavyweight fight I've seen in my lifetime , they brought their a game , although usyk was robbed of a KO and fury maybe shouldn't have played the fool it was great entertainment and the better man won . It had it all , hopefully the rematch if there is one is short and sharp for both their sakes.

Warren says Fury wants the rematch and it’s set for October. I’ll believe it when I see it.

It depends whether Fury surrenders to his demons and starts sticking white powder up his nose or Guiness down his gullet. His mental frailty might come to haunt him.

On the other hand if he gets a grip and decides to give it one last hurrah, shit or bust, it might be another great fight.

I agree we’ll be lucky to see it this year. What’s also getting less and less likely is Fury v Joshua.., and if it doesn’t happen, a big part of the legacy of both men will be the fight they never had, as much as the ones they did.
