Famous boxing veteran and commentator Timothy Bradley responded to numerous calls to strip the WBC heavyweight title Tyson Fury (33-0-2, 24 KOs).
“There is no need to take the title from Tyson Fury. For what? Look, Fury needs a preliminary fight before he meets Oleksandr Usyk.
Listen to me, the reason he didn’t fight Usyk is because Tyson promised the fight to Francis Ngannou. After that, he will finish with Usyk. Remember, Ngannou entered the ring from Fury, they talked, walked back and forth.
Consequently, Fury was in talks with Usyk, but could not meet with him because he was tied up with the fight with Ngannou. He actually didn't want to fight right now because he saw an opportunity to make big money by facing Ngannou.
That's why this battle is happening, that's what I believe. Fury set everything up here the same way as in the case of Chisora, who was given the opportunity to earn the biggest money in his career,” Bradley quotes.
Let us remind you that the Fury-Ngannou fight will take place on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
