The undisputed heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will take place next month on May 18th in Riyadh, and the public is not discussing it.

Fans seem to have a general ‘Who cares?’ attitude in the Fury-Usyk clash, which could indicate that these two older fighters have missed their window.

A Series of Missteps and Lackluster Performances

Francis Ngannou fight: Fury won controversially over the MMA novice in a fight in which Tyson was exposed as a washed-up old hype job. That fight clearly showed that Fury no longer has it and is ready for the glue factory.
Convenient Injuries: The cut that The Gyspy King Fury suffered, which some believe was for him to buy more training time because he wasn’t ready
Lack of social media involvement: Usyk and Fury do very little on social media to create interest.
Location: The fight is in Saudi Arabia, not the UK or the U.S. Ideally, Fury vs. Usyk should be in the UK at Wembley Stadium instead of Saudi Arabia. It looks like a money grab, and it doesn’t appear to be a real sporting event. It’s just money.
Saudi Arabia Money Grab: Fans see the Fury vs. Usyk fights as just greed-based, as they’re both getting tons of cash to fight in Saudi Arabia

Are We Witnessing the End of an Era?

Aging Out: Fury and Usyk are both old now. Neither guy is seen as the true best in the division. Anthony Joshua is now considered #1, with Fury and Usyk just seen as a couple of old guys ready to be kicked off the mountain.
Fury’s Decline: Fury looks 50+ years old now and doesn’t resemble a professional athlete. Fans are generally interested in watching young fighters, not old ones with a dad’s body.
Usyk’s Silence: Usyk rarely gives interviews and does not put much effort into promoting his fight with Fury, which is understandable because he’s getting tons of money from the Saudis without needing to worry about the PPV upside.

Fury’s last fight, where he was dominated by a novice Francis Ngannou and given a controversial decision in Saudi Arabia, appears to have hurt interest in the Usyk clash.
