    As a relatively neutral observer I don't mind too much who wins.

    But I will enjoy the melt-down of the losers fan-camp either way after the fight:

    Will it be a victory for the Glass Belly?

    "Fury was past his best, the Ngannu fight proved that, we all know Fury would have toyed with Usyk in 2014/15/19/20!!!"

    Or will it be the Gypsy Ducker?

    "Fury obviously aged-out Usyk by ducking him for so long that's how he won, manic mongoose Usyk would have schooled Fury in the WSB!!!"

    The pandemonium on this forum will be fantastic.

    Anyone else looking forward to it?

    I'm not.
    Consider if Fury wins.
    A guy who just went life and death with an MMA debutant in the next fight establishes himself as the true king of the heavyweight division?
    It will be the death knell of the sport

    Depends on what the fight ends up being. If it's a farce or a hug fest or just plain not exciting or at least interesting, my interest in the heavyweight division will decline yet further.

    On the other hand, both guys have the opportunity to cover themselves in glory here. They could make this a fight that lives up to the claims of both sets of nuthuggers. In that case, I'll be interested in both guys regardless of who they fight next.

    Not so much looking forward to the loser, more that the bout will eventually have happened, and as long as there is no controversy I frankly don't care who wins or loses, but will nail my colours to the mast for Usyk.

    This place is going to blow up regardless, but Fury is going to be the one taking all the heat. Because Usyk is going to tax that ass!

    Why ? It would only show that usyk was just a cheat in the hw division and belongs to cruiser. It would also show that ngannou would just crush usyk .

    In no case a loss of usyk would hurt this sport.

    Fury will beat Usyk

    And afterwards you can hear a pin drop when the reactionaries, ficklers, haters and losers have gone silent, briefly.

    And it changes nothing. Usyk and Fury are both great. There will still be excuse makers and naysayers. The prophecy of Fury has been foretold.

    They will give us a better fight than Mayweather Pacquiao that's for sure. Going to be ugly and messy though. A master boxer Vs a master baiter. Fury going to make a mess all over Usyk.

    Im a Fury fan but I’m happy for either to have there hand raised as long as there is no controversy and we have a clear winner leaving no doubt as to who the best fighter is . There has been big posts on here from both sets of fans and no doubt those posters on the losing side will have to stand by them and take there ribbing !

    Is Fury wrestling Usyk into submission controversial?

    Imagine it ends as a draw, and no rematch ever takes place.

    Y'know, that'd actually be a fitting end to an era chock full of constant delays and over marinating. Second only to it being declared a no contest due to an accidental foul in the first couple of rounds :lol:

    I feel Usyk should win on principle alone, but the world doesn't work that way. I will be going for Usyk, because he is the smaller guy and I said I will alway pull for him, hoping he gives the big guys hell. I also know a well motivated, in shape Fury is a nightmare, so I would not be surprised if belly takes it. Come on Usyk.

    May the best man win but regardless of who it is, this place will be in meltdown.

    Let's just hope it's a great fight that produces a clear winner. Otherwise...
