Didn't know that? Obvs where the cash is but rules out a fair few boxing fans with the cost sadly

Not been a fan of heavyweight boxing for a good few years, other divisions aye, hope this does make it but we'll see

Tough one to call as either could dominate or get knocked out early doors?

Yeah tough one to call, I think it'll be closely contested, with Fury displaying his skill but Usyk is extremely resilient and won't roll over
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same, most of me is expecting Fury to make some excuse and pull out ngl. If it goes ahead though should be a good fight. Fury should be winning it but Usyk is world class and you can never rule out. Head says if Furuy prepared correctly and wants it he will just win like he did vs Klitschko wont be pretty but effective and get him the titles.

Will get excited when I believe it is actually happening. Fury is an overrated fraud right now as far as I’m concerned, living off of a trilogy against a guy who it was clear he had his number after fight 1, lying through his teeth to fans and having clown cross over fights. Even Warren cringes trying to defend him these days. Talk of being Britiains best ever HW but that’s bollox - he’s not fit to lace Lewis’s gloves.

Have a proper fight and then we’ll believe you.

Fury will clatter him.

Think fury will beat him, possibly quite easily too.

I actually don't think Fury will win it easily (hence why the fight has taken so long to come about), I think age affects size quite a lot. I know Usyk is a year or two older than Fury but his smaller frame is probably easier to maintain than Fury's.

I think Fury is the better boxer overall, but I do think he's getting on now and he's a big lump and it's gonna turn out closer than a lot of people expect.

I think Usyk can take a bit of a pounding and keep going so imo it'll be very close and could go either way.

And this is why IMO Fury has dodged the fight till now, but I could be totally wrong in my thinking it's Fury that's avoided the fight. Maybe Usyk has dodged it due to him being happy with a belt, who knows.

Either way I can see the fight going to 10 rounds and being very evenly squared

Usyk accepted the fight for pennies like 20/30 % of the fight and he holds the better titles i doubt its him dodging, doubt he'd be the type either judging perosnalities. Fury blamed it on Usyk after making sill deadlines or something if i recall?

see usyk take some shots, fury have to do some good work to knock him out. fury survived wilder so ditto there. think itd go 12 and fury clear win on point due to size and reach and hes far too smart to let usyk close hes just gna hug and lean on him anytime he does.

Not an expert but of all the heavyweights i think Usyk is Furys biggest threat.

I think Fury has historically struggled vs others of Usyk’s size and he is a proper technician. That said Fury just might be too big and clever enough.

Im not going to believe this is actually on until the weigh ins. The promoters/fighters should be embarrassed the big fights dont happen easily. It has put me off the division and boxing in general.

Fury hasn’t wanted this fight from the get go and you can see why. Usyk is a very very awkward fighter and I think will surprise a few people. He’s had to take a pittance to get this fight and Fury should be embarrassed it’s taken this long
