Part of me wanted him to tell Fury to go do one but I’m also glad the fight has been “accepted”.
Hopefully Fury is the strong favourite because I fancy a cheeky bet on Usyk.
 
Fury's no mug and while I think Usyk carries the speed and power to put him down, Fury has the reach and ring IQ to stick behind the jab and tie him up as soon as he gets in range.

Can only really see a Fury TKO or unanimous points win.
 
I think Fury is likely the favourite but I don't see it being as easy as you're all saying.

Fury has troubles with smaller fighters (Both Pajkic and Cunningham have made Fury hit the canvas and allegedly Hunter gave Fury a close fight in the amateurs. They're all small heavyweights), he himself admits that he struggles against smaller fighters and I think it's fair to say that none of the aforementioned fighters are on the level of Usyk.

Fury doesn't have the ability or the fleet of foot style he used to have. Usyk will likely make him look very clumsy and I wouldn't bet against Usyk having the ability to get in and out of range with relative ease.
 
I like Fury, however I also admire Usyk. The guy has fought and beat a huge resume all in their back yard and mainly been the smaller fighter.

He’s the definition of a fighting man, and I think Fury didn’t expect this to be confirmed and is probably more so out of shape than he would like to be for a fight of this magnitude which goes in Usyks favour.

I don’t see Usyk winning though size difference just seems too much.
 
When you say out of shape, you mean off his head on marching powder :cry: Guys a clown , with AJ not far behind him.

Loved boxing all my life back to the Eubank, Ingle, Watson etc days but it really is getting hard to keep the interest.
 
Tony Yoka continues to disappoint and Dan Azeez wins the european title. Really happy for him and I like that he seems to be going the traditional route

Though I do think Yarde, Buatsi, Smith and Richards all beat him on a domestic level

From what I saw last night I agree. He did well against a decent opponent but I think he might just be a bit short for the top level. He got hit too much for my liking and didn't have the combinations you need.

Its not always size that matters but everything its possible in HW.
 
That Caleb Plant KO in his last fight was beautifully put together. Can't remember it entirely but I believed he sold a perfect feint to the body before coming in with a left hood? Such a nice shot
 
Why are people hating on fury for removing a rematch clause?

There should never be rematch clauses in any fight imo all rematch clauses do is hold up the rest of division waiting for the fighter to rematch before someone else can have a go

He originally put the rematch clause in but now keeps moving the goalposts at every turn. M

One fighter is doing everything to make the fight happen and one is continuously putting objects in the way. The division would be better off with him out of it.

He didn't seem to have issue with the ones in place with Wilder and Klitchsko. Mind you, he tried to avoid honouring both.

I want to hear from the Fury fans how they can defend this guy. I've made no secret that I can't stand the guy so I'm obviously loving watching him back himself into a corner but I want to hear from the fans of his how they see this
 
The fans just lap it up though don’t they. Hopefully he retires after this fight and the Heavyweight division will be better off for it. I’m bored of his nonsense.
