    The more I think about it, the more I think it'll be a close fight. Fury isn't going to come into this complacent, and his size may prove to be an issue. Still think Usyk wins UD.

    Usyk will KO Fury. Fury has never fought a skilled and fast boxer as Usyk.

    Fury's best win was against an old and shot Klitschko. After that he beat nobodies.

    Thats right . Furys legacy is nothing against usyk,s massive amount of pro hw fights where every single of his opponents was a world top class contender

    Fury will target the body and as soon as he lands one sweet shot there it's all she wrote!

    I agree but I think it will be an accumulation of body shots.

    A clear sign you're well up there in age.

    "Tyson will try and box him and get schooled"

    Fury's not narcissistic "pretty boy" without great heart like Joshua or Haye. If Usyk beats him as my gut says he will, I strongly expect Fury to go down fighting.

    Fury needs to disrupt Usyk, throw him off balance and has little fear of Usyk hurting him
    with a punch. And then after a few clean body shots the party is over.
    Fury retires undisputed and fights back the urge to make a comeback in a year or so.

    I strongly suspect this fight will be Usyk's last - win or lose - based on how I perceive him, his culture, his team etc. coupled with Krassyuk's opening comments at the presser. This will be the fight he has to dig deep. Someone needs to show this man footage of the Mariupol steelworks if he's struggling in R9. I thought Loma throwing away R12 against Haney AND Teo was disgusting. As others have said, Fury might be a clown, but beneath the 7 personalities, he's a genuine fighting man who will draw water from the well if needed

    What has Usyk shown at Heavyweight to predict that he will KO Fury ?

    Usyk will be expecting Fury to target the body at every opportunity like most other people predict,wether he does this with his boxing skills he has neglected of late or if he tries to bull doze his way in we don’t know until the fight,at some point we will definitely see Fury pressing the fight. What will Usyks tactics be that is the question ? This is still Furys fight to lose and if he does lose,well done Usyk .

    How does beating a flawed fighter like Joshua twice equate to KO ing Fury ? You must have forgot about Joshua v Usyk 1 in the final round when Usyk was unloading at will yet still could not put over an exhausted Joshua !

    Usyk , pretty exhausted from 35 mins and 45 secs of action, landed two big shots in a left-right combination with 15 secs left. The stunned AJ pulled back and was on the ropes for the last 14 secs.

    But he still had good head movement and Usyk , despite throwing another seven or eight punches, only connected with one, and Aj moved with that one shot, pulling his head back to avoid taking the full impact.

    Had he managed to land one clean shot, he had enough power to drop AJ.
