Shawn Porter Thinks Tyson Fury Is Going To Pull Out From Oleksandr Usyk Undisputed Fight
As the highly anticipated undisputed heavyweight world title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk approaches, speculation arises regarding Fury's commitment to the bout. The scheduled fight is just six weeks away, set to take place in Saudi Arabia on February 17th, yet former champion Shawn Porter is skeptical about it materializing. Despite the fight being officially signed, sealed, and delivered, Porter questions Fury's enthusiasm for the upcoming challenge. In an interview with ProBox TV, Porter expressed his doubts, stating, "Even with the fight being signed sealed and delivered, I don’t feel like this is the kind of energy that he wants to exert any more in the boxing ring." Porter continued to analyze Fury's mindset, pointing out the wear and tear a seasoned fighter like Fury might feel. "What we know about Tyson Fury is that he is a showman, what we know about Tyson Fury is that he likes things to be his way or no way," Porter remarked. He highlighted Fury's pursuit of lucrative and high-profile matchups, such as his bout against Francis Ngannou, as indicative of Fury's preferences at this stage of his career. Fury's recent actions, including a trip to Saudi Arabia for training and a subsequent video that appeared to be filmed in England, have fueled speculation about his readiness for the upcoming fight. Meanwhile, Usyk has maintained a low profile in recent weeks, with Fury continuing to engage in verbal jabs at the Ukrainian. In a recent social media post, Fury taunted Usyk, saying, "Another big day of running in the f**ng mountains! Come on! Easy work, smashing Usyk's little rabbit face right in for him. Useless piece of s*," accompanied by the hashtag "run rabbit run" and a caption suggesting preparation for the undisputed heavyweight championship in 2024. The uncertainty surrounding Tyson Fury's commitment adds intrigue to the build-up of this high-stakes matchup, leaving fans and pundits alike eager to see how the narrative unfolds in the weeks leading up to the bout. #TysonFury #OleksandrUsyk #UndisputedFight #ShawnPorter #BoxingSpeculation #HeavyweightBoxing #SportsNews2024
