    Cannot wait for this. This is a straight 50/50 fight imo, and I can only see it delivering!

    Where's everyone watching the fight? I wonder if it'll be shown on big screens?

    It's on ITV Box Office in the UK which is baffling. £9.95. I'm happy to pay it, but doubt many will...

    based on the Lebedev/Gassiev fight, i'm going Usyk close but clear decision...then it's down to whatever the russians have sorted with the judges

    It's a shame that most fans in the UK are talking about and are more interested in Whyte vs Parker, than this.

    It amazes me that they've never heard about them.

    I said this to a casual boxing fan- I told him that this is gonna be the best fight of the year and the most important fight of the year, and he just looked at me and pulled his face- like I was just making up the names lol. But of course every Eubank Jr fight is a must watch lol. Unbelievable.

    I get what your saying here but tbh im more interested in the Whyte/Parker fight.

    Then theres the whole Fury show, fight against Seferi was awful but im still buzzing to see how he is going to look in August!!

    Then Joshua Povetkin...damn. I fcuking love boxing.

    I’ve backed Usyk pre tournament and waiting on him for a bet but I’m starting to lose a bit of faith...

    Very Surprising!
    Parkers last few fights/performances were dull. Parker and Whyte are world level fighters but Usyk and Gassiev are ELITE, P4Pers.

    Those two cruiser semi finals Usyk-Breidis and Gassiev-Dorticos were brilliant- the whole Cruiser tournament has been, and that's why I'm so HYPED for this fight. This could be an EPIC fight I believe.

    This fight gives me "Boxing Wood"..

    it could and actually should be that good, both are proven, both are champions, both are unbeaten and we get an undisputed, 4 belt world champion at the end of it (providing there is no draw).

    Throw in the fact it is Russia Vs Ukraine and how savage that is and you have a real fight and it will probably be bigger and mean far more than another fight in that part of the World.

    It's a spicy fight.
