Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel. But whether it will be to the fans’ liking remains to be seen. Their reactions don’t appear encouraging despite Frank Warren‘s announcement that Tyson Fury will deliver something big. So much so, in his word, it will be a ‘game-changer.’ Fury fought last time against Derek Chisora while defending his title. However, he has yet to see the face of the ring, despite one after the other deals knocking at his door.
So the report from iFL TV checked for Tyson Fury’s Instagram post on a ‘show-stopping’ announcement. Frank Warren said, “Well, he shouldn’t say that because it’s not show-stopping, it’s game-changing…bigger than show-stopping. It’s going to be a game-changer. It’s going to change the whole landscape of the sport.” But the vibes, the reactions tossed, exhibited dismay.
Not one for us, please; fans tell Frank Warren and Tyson Fury

Livid with Warren’s announcement, the following user The Tories Out believes that Tyson Fury’s career could be considered over what he came across on TalksSport. Fury should step down from boxing if the news has anything to do with mixed martial arts. Finally, if Jon Jones or Francis Ngannou wins the bout against Fury, every fan should come forward and demand WBC to remove his belt.
From what I heard on TalkSport, it sounds like the end of Fury's career. If it's anything MMA related, Fury should vacate or retire. Every fan of boxing should ramp up a campaign for Fury to vacate or be stripped of the WBC belt if its Jones or Ngannou.

Unhappy with Warren’s update, fan Sycko would rather see him and Tyson Fury retire from the sport happily. In his opinion, if nothing else, both have wrecked boxing’s reputation badly.
News flash Frank! You and Fury already changes the face of the Sport! You ruined it!!! Both need to retire ASAP

Dave Cox came down heavily, highlighting the tagline ‘Game-Changed,’ Matchroom took while joining DAZN. However, Queensbury’s Frank Warren and Tyson Fury, a champion everyone blames for not fighting, seem to have landed a ‘game changing’ deal. According to Cox, until and unless his opponent is Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua, they shouldn’t trouble themselves by sharing news with their followers. Instead, WBC should pull off his belt and close the doors on him.
It’s funny….Matchrooms tagline when they joined DAZN was Game-changed and now Frank and the HW champ that everyone is calling for not fighting has made a game changing deal….if it isn’t Usyk or AJ don’t even bother announcing it ffs, just let WBC strip him and say bye!

Stanny wonders why Fury can’t fight Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. That way, his legacy shall remain intact. Also, Joshua could fight Deontay Wilder. Thus these three matches would be on everyone’s watch list. Barely anyone seems interested in Joshua taking on Dillian Whyte or Derek Chisora.
Why doesn’t he just fight Usyk and Joshua, beat both and retire an true legend. Joshua should fight Wilder. These are the three fights everyone wants to see, not Joshua v White or against Chisora etc

victor seems shocked by the announcement. Lamenting the followers who consider Tyson Fury a GOAT, he finds a match against Jones or Ngannou, one belonging to the crossover genre. In his view, if such a fight occurs, it will be shameful for the sport, especially when one of the contestants holds a world championship belt.
Wtf is going on?! It’s obviously a cross over fight- whatever that ever means. I really don’t understand anyone who’s on this “ Fury Goat hype “ . ! If it happens. It’s a disgrace to the sport of boxing. Especially whilst holding a strap!!

At the beginning of the year, hopes of a million arose when a fight against Oleksandr Usyk seemed imminent. But the expectations were dashed as the negotiations failed. Then a fight against Andy Ruiz Jr. also appeared on the horizon but to no avail. There were even talks of Fury taking on an Australian Heavyweight. Fans watch keenly whether a contest against mixed martial artists brings ‘The Gypsy King’ into the ring.
