    To a lesser extent, sure.

    I can't find any official confirmation that Fury has accepted Usyk's terms regarding the million pound donation to Ukrainian relief efforts.

    Nor do we have clarity on the rematch clause (but signs point toward one not being in place).

    What is certain is that both sides have agreed upon 70-30.

    Fury is going to bottle it. Looking for a way out. He's getting more and more unhinged by the day. Just announced that he's going off the grid until fight night.

    70/30 only provided the fight happens on April 29th. Anytime later Usyk wants 50/50. Sounds like he banking on Fury not being match fit on that date

    Two things on that though,

    1) Usyk accepted Fury's "low-ball offer" because, as it is widely acknowledged, he is desperate for undisputed. The fight being pushed back could risk him being stripped.

    2) Fury's side set the date of April 29th at Wembley. Usyk has been in training and likely his team organised his said training so he is at peak performance for that date. So a change of date means (a) he has wasted time and money and/or (b) it will damage his own in-ring performance.

    Personally, I think his team just wants to make sure the fight happens on the date that was projected and he has been in camp training for.

    I agree with the manager & sausage part, I'm not fond or fancy (as they say in the UK) Usyk's manager. That dude seems to always be crying how the fight won't be happening or they're moving on, then Usyk over-rides him.

    Fury is sporting the body of his dad, a 60yr old. Usyk will set a pace he's not seen in a while. Fury may have been too used to seeing plodders like Wilder who have 2 round stamina. Belly, belly you in trouble. I will also say that if he tries to pressure Usyk reckless, he might walk into a counter and be on the floor again.

    I hope Usyk wins, but I think he even if he wins the fight he wont get the decision.

    Usyk will school fury. There will be no robbery on the cards, because with the ukrainian war and usyk as an honorable men and fury is not really liked by the british establishment the scoring will be fair imo.

    The only problem could be a british ref, i hope team usyk stays firm on an international experienced ref from the states.

    Unfortunately, I think Fury will win by decision. I'm really hoping I'm wrong yet again on Usyk.
