    Yeah that's what iwas thinking. I don't understand what he's doing a anywhere near Usyk's camp. He's a really terrible boxer.

    It seems to me that Fury supporters have less faith in Fury's chances than non-fans do, as this is yet another self-assuring thread. Calm down, guys. Have at least a little faith in Fury. When the word was that Usyk slapped Klitschko around in sparring, the Fury supporters either said it was BS or they said who cares, it's sparring, which has little to no indication of how a real fight would go. When the word was that Opetaia slapped Fury around in sparring, Fury supporters either said it was BS or they said who cares, it's sparring, which has little to no indication of how a real fight would go. But now, suddenly, sparring stories are relevant. Convenient, to say the least. Saturday can't come soon enough.

    He is a legend for what exactly? This move is not only desperate but also nothing original. Tyson's people did the same to Holyfield in Las Vegas back in 1996. If boxing history is anything to go by, you should seriously be worrying about Fury's chances should this story be true. When a fighter tries to gain an edge for an upcoming fight with moves like that, it means they have very low confidence in their chances and are desperately looking for anything to boost their odds. A fighter who has done his preparation and knows he has the other guy's number doesn't need to resort to such tactics. Holyfield didn't need any sneaking around like that and Usyk doesn't need any sneaking around like that and Holyfield duly went on to beat Tyson just like Usyk will duly beat Fury.

    Correct they were saying Fury had been beaten up and dropped and that they chased Opetaia from the camp. I personally don't give too much belief to any of the rumours from either camp.

    Yeah, there's nothing quite like boxing fan forums for hard core full on topics and threads.

    Read enough stories and you'll find out that I knocked Carl Frampton out twice in the same session.

    I had to cuff Peter Frampton around a bit when the lil fella became quite cheeky with me one time.

    It was Karaoke night at the local and Mr Frampton, sitting at back, was mercilessly heckling my performance.

    Amazing talent and a nice guy in general, but at times, he’s got a mouth on him, does little Pete.

    The hotels in saudi limit access to the elevators at 10:00pm, and there is security at the elevators as well, meaning that only people with a room card can pass. The upper VIP floors (same for Fury and Usyk) will also have security guards there. So no, Duckson didn't do what he said he did, he's full of crap, as usual.

    Very good. Trying to purport that he’s a playing an Ali - and a poor man’s version at that.

    Must admit, I’ve haven’t heard/read Tyson claim it himself - only a members claim on this thread without a source being supplied.

    Usyk likely has others in his room to deal with door enquires at any rate.

    Ironic, I did hear an allusion to Tyson having trouble sleeping last time he fought in SA. He was questioned on it this time around but he didn’t really provide an answer.

    He actually looked a bit tired as at the time of the IV but then he did also say he’d done 12 rounds of training on that day.

    I'm not a Fury fan but this is hilarious if true.

    Fury is the biggest celebrity in town. Security would be queuing up to get selfies and his autograph, and hardly likely to be stopping him going anywhere.

    Usyk will butcher Fury, he’ll pepper him left right and centre.

    Plus, even if Usyk has been getting dropped, it means nothing as fury isn’t a power puncher, he’s feather fisted

    Usyk is very cool and confident. Fury seems anxious.

    Didn’t Ross Puritty supposedly KO Lewis in sparring before the Briggs fight?? How’d Lewis end up doing under the lights?


    Sparring is sparring but I highly doubt what that tool says is true. Probably just mad at Usyk because Usyk most likely beat the **** out of him in the gym.
