    No. Andy had every reason to be in spartan shape when he won the belt. Now that he is on the back end of his career I doubt he cares.

    Is this in an eating contest or what?

    No, but he'll start posting selfies of himself on Instagram taken at a downward angle with his gut sucked in and all the usual suspects will bust a nut again.

    Andy had good potential skill wise but appears to be phoning it in at this point, just one of those fighters who drops off a cliff after winning the title, a bit like Buster Douglas.

    Exactly mate, Andy made some good cash after fighting Joshua twice.
    The thing is as someone mentioned above a fit and focussed Andy could present some difficulty for Fury, but I suspect he will look like shyte and Fury will earn another pointless defence.

    Usyk's only beaten a washed up Joshua. He should've taken the 30% Fury offered him with no rematch clause.

    If Andy beat Fury then Usyk where would he rank

    I hope Ruiz stops him due to a swollen eye

    May be yes, may be no, after the fiasco of coming to defend the title in such a even more overweight mess, a second opportunity might be a motivator to work his ass off, last chance saloon and all that, even if he just made a fight of it and put on a half ass decent performance, his next fight purse would be decent, Mr Ruiz likes the money.

    If ruiz fights at his absolute best, it might make for a great fight for 3or4 rounds before fury takes over for a UD or late stoppage, anything less from ruiz and he'll do well to emulate whyte
