These Ukrainians are sneaky clever manipulators great boxers and warriors, however they have the media figured with presenting themselves as victims but can't stop trying to slate Tyson and it's working well 🙈
This guy talks sense, fury will have to fight usyk to gain respect from the fans !
I don’t no why Danny is pushing about the human rights act situation,usyk gone for money isn’t that obvious,who wouldn’t take more money in there job if they could,can’t blame them
Nobody wants to fight Fury because he prices himself out of every fight and tries to offer his opponents nothing.
you can't see anything when you read comments on social media because anything negative gets deleted 😀
Tyson would smash this guy and Usyk on the same day at the same time simultaneously. How blind are people. This Muppet knows Tyson don't like being talked to like this. He knows it very well. He's disrespecting Tyson Fury. He's acting like he's a-side and they are definitely not. Tyson probably wants to street fight the lot of them and not just box Oleksandr Usyk. People are blind. He's trying to put Tyson off from fighting Usyk. Things are not what they seem to these low IQ people. He's talking about Tyson must respect them, but listen to what he's saying about Tyson. Fact is he ducked Fury in December and he ran again in April. Those so called Tyson fans bashing Tyson isn't his real fans; they're only low IQ mongs
Why aren't you on the front lines whit your country men yq coward
So when they are talking about human rights, it's only in Ukraine ? Nothing to say about Saudi ? You just sell out to somebody, if they have enough money. Scumbag people that want to act like honorable.
I think they've got the right outlook on Dubois. Far too many fans are waving Dubois off because, yes, of course, his boxing skills are not especially great and not near Usyks level. Okay but Dubois is 1. a very strong, very big natural heavyweight. 2. Dubois is 'young and hungry' and that's something. 3. Dubois is really does have dynamite hands and can hit HARD. These are mitigating factors for his relative lack of boxing skills (compared to Usyk). The casual fans are sleeping on Dubois but Team Usyk isn't good.
How can people not see this guy is full of shit. He's on a mission to destroy Tyson's reputation. Listen carefully and you'll realise it's themselves that were greedy and unwilling to fight Tyson. He's so full of shi…
Great move, Alex ! Skills challenge has a bottomless purse and will make certain that there is NO WAY Fury can walk away from any proposals for reasons that the purse is too small he WILL reveal hims3e as a "man" WHO will not fight heis a coward who should hand inthe WBC belt he is the worst and most unworthy "champion" there has ever been I have been a boxing fan all my life andFury has been the greatest disgrace to the sport I am so ashamed of him
Usyk is the people’s champ and the people’s UNDISPUTED champion not Luke duck Fury
Dubois is a turkey who is not remotely worrld class Usyk will dance around him like a Nuryev and then take him out GUARANTEED it will be amazing if it goes 8 rounds
I think Fury will beat usyk…If joshua had a decent go on a couple of occasions but was a shadow of his former self…a prime fury is too big too confident to strong and as good a boxer as usyk…so it's a 90-10% chance in furys favour imho
Gypsy dont want the fight. Hes running scared. Calling him the Linear Champ is an insult to the Boxing fans
Arabian sycophant 😂 let's hope we get a fight
There only trying to knock big tyson off his perch outside the ring trying to belittle his achievements to gain a wider goal , not possible
These belts are ment to be fought for not hugged and admired all the big dudes ducking and diving, blaming each other , big girl's blouses its pathetic 😂
Like Daniel is just going to disappear
8 million
41 million
Tyson fought Wilder 3 times and had a draw, tko and ko, so whatever you say about Fury is irrelevant. Neither
Usyk or Joshua dare mention Wilders name. I tell you what, until one of those two fighters try to fight wilder, you should just shut your mouth.
Fury is number one usyk get in line the fight is now a lot further away as there treating Tyson like the b side
shouldn't he be fighting along side he brothers ?? Tyson Fury is the number one , end of story, until he is beat he calls the shots
Fury will never get any respect in the boxing world unless he beats Joshua and usyk, if this does not happen then he will be a very average champion in history.
Tyson Fury has been brutally exposed as a fraud and a duck merchant. He's an embarrassment and not a true champion. He will still avoid this challenge and fight some fcking wrestler. He's a massive joke. The true champion is Usyk end of story.
Would love more interviews with him
Beautiful words from Alex about Saudi. The media has an agenda, real life doesnt.
No one can work Fury out. That's why he's unique and always wins the mind games. Cannot wait if Fury and Usyk fight, they are both masters of the mind games and the best skilled heavyweights too.
Money means nothing he says flashing his rolex. What a nugget 😂
A proper professional and gentleman 👏
The fury's think they are really smart when it comes to picking opponents and money etc. It really took a nosedive this time with Usyk. The stupid split in purse, clauses etc, then all the childish name calling and accusing Usyk of ducking. Fury really lost all the cred he had achieved. They look read lly stupid now with the Usyk and Saudi deal BUT I gaurentee the fury's will say they planned this and are getting more money and t hg e fight date suits them, they are delusional
Fury Usyk will bot happen this year, Tyson too scared, he always was, and always will be, he's cherrypicked his opponents and ducked others all his career, the history bears the facts. Great fighter? yes. Great champion? Absolutely not.
Its laughable that people believe uysk not bothered about the money. Greedy gappy teeth 😂
"Tyson Fury is a random thought generator…" lmao what a Duck!!! Usyk proving skills pays the bilzz… Stop protecting Tyson, he'll bounce back after he looses
Tyson fury fought Wilder three times,the man everyone was terrified of! What's this boring nobody promoter ever done?? Fcuk all that's what. Fury can speak shit all he wants because he beat the "real" former heavyweight world champion!! 🥊🥊
