    Ustinov would be much better.... He'll be able to match Fury in size, and he's not a friend/sparring partner. Plus he has a granite chin, and will more than likely go the distance. Hope it happens :deal

    Would love for a decent replacement as I was mildly looking forward to watching this. Must be incredibly difficult to get a decent replacement on this short of notice

    I'm not sure the age 37 Ustinov will KO Fury, but I hope he does to shut his mouth.

    It will be more competitive than Fury-Harrison or Fury-Briggs.

    If this fight goes ahead, credit where credit is due. This will be Fury's biggest & hardest fight so far.

    If Ustinov is in decent shape, he could give Fury a hard fight, maybe even knock him out.

    When he's under 300 pounds, as he was against Tua, he's effective (he does have some skill). But the heavier he is, the slower he is.

    Ustinov's only loss is to Pulev so......He's also a fricken house. This will be a good win on Fury's resume if he beats him. I honestly would rather see this fight instead of Del boy.

    I have exactly the same opinion :good

    I haven't heard anything about Ustinov of late, so i hope he is in shape.

    What the...Haye and Chisora pussed out with fake injuries (Haye 2 of them).

    And Ustinov would be a great replacement opponent. He is big and hit, which is more than we can say for anyone Deontay Wilder has fought.

    Yup.....not many HWs out there could beat Ustinov.

    I think there are about 40 of em who would beat Chisora.

    Can't think of 20 who would win against the giant from Belarus?:think

    Yes, Ustinov is a brick house, kinda like a Soviet era apartment complex :yep

    I wouldn't mind seeing this match up. Might be as good as Fury v Chisora.

    Fury will get a massive workout hitting a 300# bag for 12 rounds. If TF gets careless he could lose. But Fury is faster than Ustinov, and should win by UD, maybe late TKO.

    Didn't expect this. Ustinov will beat the **** out of Fury.

    Absolutely step up for Fury if he takes the fight, respect for that.

    Ustinov is much better than B!tch Slapping, water spying, press conference brawling and woman beating Chisora!!

    Make it a hell of a fight like Lewis/Vitali in 03, even if its technically not that good..

    what a coincidence, Pulev is the only decent name hes fought....
    Ustinov is a big fat toad who is as slow as a 90 year old woman.
    not a bad replacement, but overall the guy is a joke and hasnt done anything since hes been fighting and hes already 37

    When I see Ustinov, 1 word comes to mind : TIMBER!

    Big colossal fighter, with a static style, absolutely the opposite from Chisora. Difficult fight for Fury.
