    Yep
    Usyk will fight another big, good talented puncher who got almost 200cm and ad to his metric perhaps half year.

    Fury can make a good cycle of PEDS and check how he will look at sparing session then.

    Probably he look like **** on this camp. If guy was almost same speed as 130 kg MMA fighter imagine how slow he must look vs Opetaia and other quick dudes.

    The problem with Fury is that his history of ducking and welching on fights whether with Haye or Vlad has left a bad taste in the mouth.

    So even if this is legitimate because it is Fury the optics look far worse than any other current boxer I can think off.

    I'm also of the mindset that this fight isn't happening until they are both in the ring, I was saying this well before the fight got made.

    Don't be suprised by more shenanigans in the future regarding this fight.

    I can be sympathetic to him getting cut, but he has dragged this out too long. Time to strip the belt. He can win it back.

    I have never been a fan of fighters holding on to belts while being dormant for long periods of time. Ideally champions should be based on winning yearly tournaments which would solve a lot of the problems with the belt system.

    He looked out of shape in the wild west promo which was probably filmed recently.
    He's either looking for more time or is contemplating retirement

    He actually does look in good shape. Obviously didn't fancy it though.

    He pulled an oliviera
    Convenient to have a cut just 2 weeks before the fight

    Embarrassing. I can't defend him anymore. I think I will stick with mma now. These fights never bloody happen in boxing, going back to Floyd v Manny

    I'm sure some will be delighted, as they called this, but I am genuinely gutted

    Although I picked Fury, I would rather he got beat up than do this. This is a bitter pill to swallow and fans have been robbed yet again

    Even if the cut is genuine, why spar hard when the fight is so close?

    No, this is some BS imo.

    Was really looking forward to this fight. I'm genuinely gutted. Boxing is in the gutter

    I just watched. Have even more questions, cut is way above the eye, punch came from a smaller fighter and was a hook that came kinda from under and landed on his chin and no way near his eyebrow, he also didnt get a blue eye.
