Because he wanted to fight in December, again this is not new stuff a fighter having a keep warm or ticking over fight, especially a fighter who is known to get terribly out of shape between fights, it makes perfect sense for him to fight more than someone who keeps themselves in pristine condition out of camp.It was in the news at the beginning of November (before he signed to fight Chisora) that Usyk needs the fight before 4th March.
Fury still chose to go ahead with the Chisora fight knowing this.
I was laughing at someone earlier in the thread listing the "bums" that Fury has fought since his comeback, man was 400lbs and out of the ring for 3/4 years, of course he's going to fight some soft touches to get himself back in shape and even then the fights against Seferi and Pianeta weren't enough because he wasn't at his best in the first Wilder fight. It took Seferi, Pianeta, Wilder 1, Schwarz and Wallin before we finally saw the Fury we see today against Wilder in the 2nd fight.
Fury needs to stay as active as possible, if he'd waited until March he'd have fought 4 times in 4 years, it's not enough for him.
