He's sustained a cut so the fight is off. Got to say I don't like the bloke and think he's just taking money from easy fights compared to what's out there. Usyk was a step up in class to what he has fought recently and I'm not so sure this cut wasn't self inflicted so he doesn't have to fight him .
If I'm wrong then I apologise but what do you guys think

The thing with boxing is you have to take the hard fights to get your shot. Once they become champions they all manage their opponents very carefully.

Looks a bad cut, so rightly called off. Disappointed as was looking forward to it.

What I don’t get is the talk about Fury taking a step up in opposition. What about Usyk? 4 of his last 5 opponents have been Bellew, Chisora, Joshua and Dubois. Was a big step up in quality for both.

Yeah it's a nasty. One thing we are all guilty of is the more we dislike someone or something the more negative our opinion of it can be rather than factual we fill it with our dislike and it colours our opinion of the issue. Something I think we are all guilty of but certainly shines through on many topics on this forum.

I wasn't sure when fight was, then I saw it advertised on TV earlier in week. I thought, that is quite soon. Then my next thought was something will happen, and it will be called off.

Heavyweight boxing is a joke. It is pantomime. It is more about the egos of the boxers and promoters.
