    Usyk's only valid method to win is point shots and avoidance. A Usyk KO is dreamland.
    Fury needs to work the body (which could end it) and when the hands go down to protect
    the body, go to the head. And Fury can switch hit to help that along. Fury at 258 with extra
    training time could be a hard night for Usyk. But it won't be a walk over either way.

    Fury going to show all the boxing casuals how a proper elite level big man boxes and fights a glorified midget.

    So you're saying Fury pulls out and opens up the option for Usyk to fight a proper elite opponent?!

    If Fury manages to dismantle Usyk via bodyshots then Usyk will have been found out at this level and should retire.

    Joshua doesn't work the body so that played in Usyk's favour.

    Even thought Dubois body shot was a low blow, it wasn't that low and it hurt Usyk massively.

    At this level he is reliant on avoidance and at his age he's going to be losing his agility.

    At HW Usyk has 1 more big fight in him. He simply wont have the agility and speed in 1-2 more years to survive at HW.

    Usyk lost his speed, which is crucial for his style.

    He still has good work rate and footwork.

    Fury have to be extra smart and dirty to beat him at this stage.

    Fury that beat Wlad, would beat THIS Usyk for sure.

    Anyway, Fury wins this either way, Saudis will not allow Fury to lose

    I think that is the sad truth about this fight. As you said. The Saudis will not allow Fury to lose. Too much money moving forward for a Fury / Joshua fight.

    People still don't realise what quality Usyk is. Good that the time is finally coming.

    Supposedly current shape of Fury:
    This content is protected


    This is the best he prolly ever looked.
    Fury fan's can't have any excuses after Usyk KO him in 10 days.

    Height - 15cm. advantage
    Reach - 19cm. advantage
    Weight - there will be at least 30 to 40 lbs of advantage for Fury
    Age - 19 months younger
    Spend his whole career at HW, and his style is way better for an aging fighter, compare to Usyk, which age is almost everything.

    18.05. Usyk will achieve his immortality status !!!
