    Did anyone else find this rather distasteful? Personal comments on Usyk's physical appearance.

    I don't think this is how a Champion and role model towards mental health and young people should behave on live TV. At the end of It, Fury ran out of things to say and looked awkward when Usyk just glared back at him.

    I understand and respect the banter between two fighters, but this came across as malicious with Intent from a Champion and supposedly a role model for mental health etc.

    Fury Is a very strange man.

    No....

    Usyk calling Fury a baracha behind his back is more distasteful.

    Fury talks smack all day but when he is serious he will commend his opponents. In the post fight presser he gave Usyk lots of props and called him a master boxer, gold medalist and very good fighter.

    If Usyk had it his own way he wouldn't even engage in this stuff. He is a happy go lucky quiet type of guy and jokester. The real way to get to Fury for Usyk is to make him laugh but Fury knows he cannot see Usyk as anything but a punching bag for the next 3 months till they fight. He can't be friendly and respectful.

    Nobody is safe from Fury's smack talk especially a high level competitor.

    To be honest, I never know when he Is serious In giving props or not because he talks so much sh1te 247 It's hard to keep up with what's true and what Isnt. I'd rather he just stay quiet and box beautifully which he has done and more than has the capability to do consistently.

    What's a Baracha?

    I'd prefer it if he didn't tbh.

    Usyk V Fury is a fight that sells itself. It doesn't need to be made into a weird grudge match where Fury shouts random **** in his face and Usyk stands there having no idea wtf he's saying.

    It's also not going to phase him. If he did that to Joshua then AJ would be getting all flustered but Usyk just dgaf.

    A drunk.

    Fury has been agitated all week because people keep bringing up Usyk and he is about to get in a 20ft ring with a 260 pound man who always comes to fight.

    Banana peel galore.

    To even think about Usyk when you have a fight lined up in disrespectful and will get you beat.

    Go watch Fury's post fight presser where he is talking serious.

    People read into boxing way too much and become parasocial wierdo's.

    Two men giving each other brain damage and people are upset that Fury says a few words that Usyk can't even understand.

    It's all fun and games. Fury & Usyk are in the end phase of their careers and are not afraid to get beat or fight the best. Usyk has a better excuse when he loses though which is isn't a natty HW...

    I've heard a lot worse smack talk from champs in the past. This seemed timid to be honest.

    I don't think fighters have a mission such as "being a role model for kids". The people are punching each other in the face, hurting each other to make lots of money and get rich.

    Actually, I would be suprised if they respect each other.

    Garbage man goes on a rant after his WWE fight. Sound about right.

    Bickering aside, I'm praying for this fight to happen early 2023, because it's going to be huge.

    No I didn't find it distasteful, thought it was great. This is the fighting game, it's all part of the parcel. Was hilarious seeing Joyce get involved too. And after all was said and done, all 3 men shook hands.

    IlThere was a poster on here that claimed fury has got under usyks skin after Usyk called fury a drunk. The amount of things fury has said about Usyk I presume he must be really annoyed.
