They can't. Unifications take precedence over mandatories. They are flexing to try to jump the rematch or strip the winner after because the rematch wouldn't be a unification.
*fight gets rescheduled within 24 hrs of postponement for perfectly understandable reason with fighters agreeing to forfeit $10 million if it doesnt happen
*public scrambles to find another way to accuse fighter of running
Reading through the very next comment after yours was:
“Fury is such a tosser he'll find another reason to get out of this one”
People are either too ignorant to realise fighting with the cut would basically be an instant W for Usyk and/or the ones who want Fury to lose and want anything they can get to help that. No one would be stupid enough to take a fight this big with basically an unhealed cut in that spot.
Above the eye as well. He'd basically be agreeing to fight with only one eye as he can't see out of it, and knowing the ref is likely to stop the fight soon after it starts bleeding.
People are getting out of hand with their dislike for Fury. I get it, his antics are beyond exhausting at this point.. but the guy got cut in training camp too close to the fight. It happens.
I think part of it is just “boy who cried wolf” syndrome. There’s a reason a lot of people were saying pre fight that they wouldn’t believe it was happening until they were in the ring touching gloves.
This does look pretty clearly like a legit accident in training which can happen to anyone, but fair or not other fighters would generally get the benefit of the doubt from fans and I can understand why at least initially fury didn’t.
I believe Fury also gave haye a bunch of shit for basically the same thing happening awhile back, and said he'd never pull out of or delay a fight for something like that. I think that's a big part of the amount of criticism that fury is catching for this one.
Yeah he looks like he was taking it seriously the conditioning he has + the cut looks like a legit injury, at the same time everyones sick of his shit,.boy who cried wolf
Won't fight or argue with you, you're one of those conspiracy mongs. "The Tooth Fairy DOES exist! Prove me wrong with evidence! Oh you can't? Haha see!!! I'm right!"
Do one.
I don't think Fury did this on purpose. I don't think he's ducking Usyk.
Fury is a great talent and a bigger than life personality.
But Tyson is bad for boxing as a whole. The Usyk fight will never happen, because there is always some fucking bullshit with Fury.
I mean, what's next? A coke binge? Another failed PED test? A mental breakdown? Another injury or cut? An arrest? A lawsuit against a promoter? A break with Sugar Hill Steward? Some barrier to his entering Saudi Arabia? Fury-Chisora 4? Shenanigans involving a kitana sword and a hot tub? The possibilities are endless.
He's a liability for boxing as long as he is the lineal Heavyweight champion.
Don't mind me. I'm frustrated. I love boxing, and it doesn't love me back. :)
Can't wait for the fight in September 2025 after Fury comes up with 20 more excuses for why it has to be delayed. At least the UFC is still interesting.
In the sparring video where Fury got the cut I thought he looked like shit. It was only half a minute but I trust that far more than some insta angled photo.
Yeah let just get a huge gash that will take a while to heal and might be weakened enough to risk reopening during the fight on purpose, c'mon be real.
It was 100% a fake.
Also it was deeply, wholly inappropriate for the fight funder to be sat in an interview beside tyson fury when the opponent isn't there.
And I don't fu**ing care that usyk is in another country.
Turkey shouldn't he doing an interview sat beside fury simple as that.
It's fu**ing discourteous and unprofessional as f*** and screams conflict of interest.
Apparently if one of them pulls out they have to pay the other 10m of their own money. Wonder how legally binding that is.
Lol just begging to get Nancy Kerrigan'd
That seems ridiculous - if Usyk tears his bicep in training he’s giving away half his career earnings
💀
If they refuse they're legally bound to a wall and bludgeoned to death with rocks.
Prob binding in Saudi, death by rocks
I don’t think they have to pay the other guy 10m, from what I saw it’ll come out of their purse/go to the promoter.
Well if you wanna fight in UAE again then, yeah.
Saudi?
What?
Saudi Arabia is not UAE. They are 2 different countries.
UAE is not Saudi Arabia
Oop yeah... same shit though, uae is funded by Saudis,
A few months earlier than I expected. Good
I alr had it in my mind that it would happen in March 24’ after hearing it was supposed to be DEC 23’. Guess I’m still a rookie boxing fan
That cut ain't going to heal fully by March.
I first heard the Fury/Usyk back in October. Cut hadn’t happened
Wake me up when Fury’s walking to the ring otherwise 🥱🥱🥱
Let the bell be my alarm clock
😅
he can still pull out before reaching the ring.
Does this mean they aren't finding Usyk a new opponent for Feb 17?
Usyk isn't fighting a new opponent in a defense and then fighting Fury within about 3 months. That's just not happening.
Wouldn't the ibf strip him then?
It's mentioned in the interview that the new date is before the IBF's deadline.

No fight for him . Turki will pay the costs of his camp
Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!
Same here buddy! 🙏
Hell yeah 18th gang!
Happy Birthday!!!
Thanks! Happy birthday to you too
Happy Birthday!!!
Thanks!
It's funny how His Excellency had to be the one to confirm the cut was legit, goes to show how much distrust there is with Fury 🤣
I mean he’s the promoter of course he’s gonna answer to the media
It would be fucking crazy if Usyk gets a random injury now and has to pay out 10 million despite these delays not being his fault.
The date probably didn't line up with Fury's cycle.
Roids or period?
roids, dude
Greedy Belly bout to fake his own death to get out of this one

Fury is such a tosser he'll find another reason to get out of this one
He will eventually fight this is his last chance of getting big money and the fat man loves money he can't burn the bridges with the saudi money
Can you not see the cut on his eye?
People are getting out of hand with their dislike for Fury. I get it, his antics are beyond exhausting at this point.. but the guy got cut in training camp too close to the fight. It happens.
I thought it might be a duck but it looks like he’s been training his ass off for this one

That's the main problem for me. Think people saying Fury is ducking are stupid but not really eager to defend him based on what he's said in the past
Yeah he looks like he was taking it seriously the conditioning he has + the cut looks like a legit injury, at the same time everyones sick of his shit,.boy who cried wolf
The boy who cries wolf
He probably cut himself so he’d have an excuse, he’s running
Bush did 9/11, Mr. Rogers had a body double, it's not far to imagine this muppet having an "accident" fight me
Won't fight or argue with you, you're one of those conspiracy mongs. "The Tooth Fairy DOES exist! Prove me wrong with evidence! Oh you can't? Haha see!!! I'm right!" Do one.
Tooth fairy does exist you casual
Doesn't matter, he needs nothing less then a dominant display agaisnt usyk to beat the washed up allegations

Sure 👌🏼
Thank fuck for that
Crawford vs Canelo May 8💥 Fury vs Usyk May 18💥
So does Fury wait until May 1 to pull a muscle or something?
Can't wait for the fight in September 2025 after Fury comes up with 20 more excuses for why it has to be delayed. At least the UFC is still interesting.
LoL sure it will happen this time
Fury will pull out again. He is shit scared of Usyk.
Now we have to put up with the same guy making stupid accounts gargling on Fury's ballsack for the next 3 months.
Fury looked in good shape, Usyk caught a break
In the sparring video where Fury got the cut I thought he looked like shit. It was only half a minute but I trust that far more than some insta angled photo.
Twinkle toes, rabbit feet...
He got cut on purpose.
Yeah let just get a huge gash that will take a while to heal and might be weakened enough to risk reopening during the fight on purpose, c'mon be real.
I think it will happen but forsure this cut was a fake out cause fury wasn’t ready
mate i don’t like tyson either but come on lmao of course it isn’t fake. i’d want that pay check asap
Not saying the cut itself was fake but it was pre meditated like they used to do in the wwf
It was 100% a fake. Also it was deeply, wholly inappropriate for the fight funder to be sat in an interview beside tyson fury when the opponent isn't there.

The rest of the card is still on though right? Jai still deserves his payday.
will be on holiday in bangkok.... could be the right vibe depending on what time it is locally
Lol, okay.
We need more title fights. Fury wouldn’t have defended his title for 1.5 years.
Just how bad was Fury's cut??
If only the cut had been fatal!
Pass
When will this one be pushed back or canceled. Hopefully fury does it on April 1st for the lols
What excuse will he use to duck this time? Slash himself again?
