The difference between Fury and Lewis, is that Fury hasn't lost to two bums (McCall & Rahman) like Lewis did. ;)

How can you say that when Fury lost (in everyone's eyes) to an MMA guy in his first boxing fight. A guy who then got KO'd in spectacular fashion by 'dosser' AJ.

That's not how it works...

The flip side is .... Without the oil money would this fight even be happening?

If you can't get two top heavyweights in a ring together without piles of oil money, then boxing deserves to die. The whole sport is an embarrassment.

Fully expect Fury to suffer a 'freak' injury or something before the fight.

With Fury it all depends where his head is at and if he’s taking it seriously. Lightest he has been in 4 years, looking lean, I think he’s very well prepared for Usyk where as he hadn’t bothered taking the MMA guy seriously

As we are on this subect you could say similer to Lewis in the first Rahman fight vs the second.

Lewis was casual in the first and totally did a number on him in the re-match.

And no way in a million years no matter what state Fury is in, he woud not have lived with that Lewis imo.


He knows there is a lot on the line tonight and does look like he will be the best version of Fury.

It's an intruiging prospect tonight, one of which I am very much looking forward to.

Ha it would seem very unlikely at this point.

I guess your point is as it's Fury, you never really know.

He just looks in too good a shape so looks to have put everything into his training. And he knows there are no more hiding places right.


However, there is still time for him to slip in shower or to have contracted food poisoning... what a circus really!

Hard to compare old fighters / sports people to the current crop

Sports science and nutrition has changed so much in the last 25 years. Roll back to the 90s and you had had half cut professional footballers spanking 10 pints the night before game.

Fitness and endurance has massively changed

Well that's not gonna happen. He's pumped and looking in great shape. What makes you say that. He wants this more than anything.

The sport needs reform agreed on that. If you hold belts you really should need to defend or submit the belts on a regular basis.

Drug testing also
 
If (when ;)) Fury loses is his dad going to run into the ring shouting MY SON before nutting everyone? They could make a computer game out of it!

My choice is DAZN or TNT sports via Amazon. Prime video.

Which is the best platform to watch on ?

Is there is difference in quality?

Thanks Ben

I really like the DAZN coverage.

Re quality I am not sure.

But I can tell you the TNT picture quality has been better in football than SKY this last season.
