    Usyk

    I've had enough of Fury's antics and BS.

    Usyk. because of the physical size disadvantages (Jack the giant slayer). Also because of Fury just disrespecting him for no good reason & offering him bum money. He would literally have to go into the belly of the beast so to speak. There's so much blubber around the midsection, The White Rabbit may have to bring a harpoon to snatch Moby Dick.

    I'm English and I normally back my own countries fighter but I want Usyk to win. fed up with the circus that comes with Fury and excuses and dross this man talks, Usyk is a likable man and very humble and respectful. So team Usyk all the way, but ultimately I think Fury wins this easily.

    Fury can only win this by making it a very very ugly fight; lots of spoiling tactics and mauling.

    I don't think his feet as nimble enough to keep Usyk from constantly resetting him all night.

    I'm British and have been a Fury fan but sadly no more. His behavior and attitude is an embarrassment in my opinion . No class and disrespectful to fans and other fighters of all divisions. I wish him well and hope he gets what he is looking for which is clearly a bigger pot of money. The sooner he is out of the sport the better.
    As for who I'm going to be cheering on!? In my mind, the Ukrainian has already won the hearts and minds of millions and will continue to do so. He is a true pugilist, an artist who will be remembered for a long time.
    The self proclaimed Gypsy King!!! Not so sure he is that! Historically going back over 1500 years gypsies started their journey in southern India and over time moved across Europe. Ironically most settled in eastern Europe as we know it today, the Carpathian bowl. Hungary, Romania, Poland and funny enough Ukraine!!! Maybe, just maybe the real king is here to take back what is rightfully his.

    Usyk since he's being a man and true boxer about the whole thing.
    He chased legacy from cruiserweight and deserves the finsl crown on his career.

    However if Fury clearly wins then fair play to him of course.
    I guess I just dont want more retired/unretired antics, facing easy fights and contradicting statements constantly. Which will surely happen if he wins.
    If he stfu and was a true boxer about the ehole thing and fought AJ or Joyce next then I could have prefered him.

    Usyk. Fury is a proven PED cheat, ducked the Klitschko rematch and likely lied about charitable donations. Usyk has won all of his titles in his opponent's home country while usually being the B-side and recently while at a huge size disadvantage.

    Agree totally and have posted this myself. You would have to be a total freak of nature to be on Furys side. **** I even want to punch his kid in the face, mouthy little ****. Usyk, I ****ing love you already bro but show this **** the exit door of professional boxing.

    What will be interesting is how much support Usyk gets from the crowd on fight night. Yes, it's going to be pro Fury but seems like he's finally rubbed most people the wrong way even people who were fans of his.
