    Ty Mitchell is an inactive super middleweight, he pieced Fury up in sparring and damaged his voice box which is just now healing. Sparring is completely different from actual fighting…

    Nonsenses i can't wait for that fight, same as for most big fights in the HW division. And the reason for the stale HW division is Fury. I know you like him, and you are decent poster, and deep down you know it's like that.
    This fight could already been done, hell even the rematch could already be done, if it wasn't for Fury nonsenses.

    I'm just happy that it will happen, hopefully.

    Yeah, but Opetaia is young beast, Fury is not. Going into sparr wars in your 20s or early 30s is one thing, and another in the Fury case. I just hope he doesn't get injured in that sparring, nothing else.
    While we support different fighters i think you wanna see the fight as well, and not being delayed once more.

    Why do you think Fury would be getting into sparring wars with someone who has been brought in to help him prepare for a fight?

    Opetai can give a tussle but that is not his objective. I'm sure Fury will have a couple of rounds to let Jai do as he wants given Jai will likely never get an opportunity to spar and definitely not fight Fury but even then Jai isn't going to brawl forward like an idiot.

    Boxing is boxing. It's all skill. If Fury is having a bad spar it's down to Sugar Hill to stop it and for Fury to accept that decision.

    Usyk is the one who will be getting battered by big men in sparring.

    Couldn't ask for a better sparring partner to get ready for Usyk.

    How does this fit in with the "Fury will duck" narrative?

    It doesn't.

    People can't accept Fury is in the Saudi sun, his pale body absorbing the UV radiation like superman powering up ready to rip Usyk apart.

    Fury appears locked in now which is good news for the HW division. barring any gym "misfortunes".

    Fury won't fight anyone unless the cards are stacked in his favor. Just take his ducking of Ustinov and Haye, while he goes a mile out of his way to make the second Chisora fight.

    Apparently Steve Cunningham was asked but he's still mad and sticking to his floppy-glove theories.
    He also has permanent injuries from Fury leaning on him with his head and elbows, which can ruin a man.

    Haye pulled out of the Fury fight twice. Fury never ducked Haye.

    Dishonest cretin Wlad-supremacist Fencik hasn't forgiven Fury for clowning and schooling his fantasy boyfriend.
