    Decent replacement at short notice but Ustinov is not someone who should give Tyson too much trouble.

    Anyone who thinks they'd take a fight at short notice that they think they'd lose is an idiot.

    That statement applies to Ustinov as well as Fury

    No it doesn't. :huh

    If he's been offered a career best purse, why is he going to turn that down?

    Ustinov probably sees it as a chance to catch Fury cold / off guard a little. He hasnt prepared for Ustinov, but Ustinov has been in a camp that has prepared for Fury.

    I think Fury will win, but can see it been a tough fight for him

    Credit to Tyson, Peter and Frank for getting it sorted at late notice and not bringing in some journeyman

    You don't think he is getting one?

    Which bigger fight has he been in?

    Tricky potential fight for Fury stylistically but Ustinov hasn't fought since last year and his resume isn't that great. That said, the visual of someone actually towering over Fury will be good for the cameras and he should give Tyson rounds.

    A late Fury KO for me.

    The man fought Pulev for the IBF #1 contender spot.
    And he wasn't a late replacement in that fight.
