    You seem to confuse bullies and braggarts with "interesting" and "character". Usyk has a fascinating personality, and I, for one, get really easily bored with the loudmouths who still act and talk like high school dropouts.

    It’s actually sad that fury can hold up the division, Usyk is fighting for undisputed, even AJ who is also all about the money was fighting for achievements but fury would rather fight guy likes jake paul und ngannou and co.

    I'm not confusing anything. I've been a fan of the heavyweight division since the 1970s. I've seen what works with fans and what doesn't.

    Braggarts aren't interesting if they can't back it up.

    Fury can back it up. When you can back it up, it isn't bragging.

    You can feel Usyk's "I'm the quiet, dancing guy who makes funny faces" act is interesting, but two nice guys or two smiling mimes don't get anyone excited about their match.

    At heavyweight, people want to see FIST FIGHTS.

    And Fury is making this bout with Usyk, which is a mismatch on paper and probably will be on fight night, into a fight everyone will pay to see ... because now they want to see Fury lose.

    And when you're a dominant heavyweight who people want to see lose, you've got them and their wallets.

    Its more of a get the f on woth it already.
    Im tired of endless talking about fights that should have already happened.

    That we didnt have a heavyweight undisputed in 20+ years is exactly whats wrong with boxing.

    Fury's just as fake Joshua now! would love to see Usyk or Joyce beat him but don't think he fancies it with either of them

    That's just your opinion. I like my athletes respectful human beings. Look at Federer and Nadal. One of the fiercest, most well-known rivalries in the whole of sports history, and yet, you couldn't find two nicer blokes. But in case you'd say boxing is different: look at Joe Frazier. Look at Joe Louis and Max Schmeling. Nice blokes, yet people were crazy about seeing them fight.

    Vacate the belt?

    All of Usyk's belts were already taken from Fury without anyone beating him.

    You're going to have to beat him if you want this one, Oleksandr.

    Fury fought three months ago. He isn't holding anything up. Unifications are optional defenses.

    Feder and Nadal don't punch other human beings in the head for a living. Good Lord.

    If you want "respectful" boxing champions, pick another division. World Heavyweight Champions don't tend to be nice guys in general.

    They are the most violent of all the boxing champions because they have to be able to beat anyone ... not just some tiny men who weigh between 119 and 122 pounds, or some bull like other lighter-weight boxers do.

    I used to not care who won this fight. I'm almost to the point of saying Usyk.

    WHAT? The Joe Louis-Max Schmeling fight wasn't a bout between two nice blokes. It had more racist (Black/Jewish/German/American), global RAGE centered on it than just about any single fight in history. And Joe Louis HATED Max Schmeling. HATED him for beating him. And Schmeling didn't exactly like Joe, either. After he knocked Louis out, Schmeling hated Louis for blocking his title shot with Braddock. Schmeling went to court. Showed up at a fake weigh-in for the Braddock fight the night he was supposed to face him.

    They became friendly when they were old men, but old fighters tend to have most of the fight beaten out of them by point.

    I felt the same when AJ was due to fight Miller. Sadly it takes a while for the British general public to catch up

    Can barely think of 10 British world champs I wouldn't feed into a wood chipper if I had the chance. For every Froch there's a Fury and for every Frampton there's a Sunny. Oh dear, dear me...
