    Looking relatively trim? Hard to say.

    Looks fine, had about 10-15 pounds to drop over 8 weeks

    What really matters is how he maintains ready for another camp for Usyk next year. Fury doesn't seem too fussed, He's more worried about what happened with Wallin when his weight kept falling off weeks before the fight date and he ended up down in the 250's. 265 is low as he likes to go.

    Some of these votes can’t be legit.

    And how on earth could the UFC guy win on points?

    Ridiculous.

    Of course they're not legit.

    Why would you expect everyone to vote seriously on a farce like this?

    Could someone please refresh on the exact rules for this fight? It’s 10 rounds, non title as far as I’ve read previously. Is all else regular, like glove size etc? Thanks.

    This is a unique event, so unique it'll probably never happen again.

    A prime heavyweight boxing champion vs a prime stripped UFC heavyweight champion. No weight restrictions. An interesting experiment.

    I think Ngannou is going to be extremely dangerous as long as he has gas in the tank, probably for the first 3 - 4 rounds. I wouldn't be surprised if he lands something of significance but I doubt he'll have the ability to finish the job due to lack of boxing experience.

    His face looks pretty thin. How much do you think he'll weigh for the fight?

    He is still an ugly fatty pillow. We could feed whole Africa from his Belly.

    I think he's taking the fight seriously, so seriously that he'll probably be lighter than he has been in his most recent bouts. All the pressure is on him. Imagine if he not only loses but gets brutally knocked out by a novice. Fury would never be able to live down the humiliation. What makes this fight so intriguing to many, is the thought of Tyson losing to a fighter making his debut.

    If this fight generates more than a million buys, Tyson's share of the proceeds could exceed 50 million, while Francis's take will be in the 12 million range. So, how many PPV buys do you believe this event will earn?

    What time does the main event start on the US East Coast? If it's as early as I'm guessing, it might not do especially well.
