    Still calling Fairy a champion just shows how bias this Turkey à la Shake is.

    Good to see Usyk fighting second time in one year

    I hope both guys will be 100% and this time there will be more knockdowns

    On one hand, i want to be happy. But on the other hand, this rivalry should have ended by now. If they fought in March of 2023 and then rematched in November, this would be long over. But greedy belly makes life hard.

    I hope Usyk wins the rematch, Fury retires, and we can go on to the next era.

    Usyk should retire while on top. Says he don't need the money so just go out a Champ.

    Why ? Why some fans want some boxers to retire ? He is bipolar, one of a kind guy, why you want him gone ? There is nobody like him, if Chisora is fighting, so can Fury fight. There is a lot of matchups for him.

    Agreed. Usyk simply risks aging too much at this point.

    He'll be 38 and his speed will rapidly go down the drain.

    Usyk should retire and let Fury, AJ and others fight for the belts.

    Because of his antics of holding up the division. Chisora at least fights every where. I am a fan of Fury's ability as a fighter. But the way in which he delayed the Usyk fight and chose fights against a past it Chisora and Nnganou. His antics hurt boxing and especially the heavyweight division.

    Fury has had a stellar career. 2 wins over Wilder and 1 over Wlad is a hall of fame career. Could his career have been 5 times greater if he took more risks and chose more tough fights? Sure. But i don't want to see him hold things up. I want AJ to fight Hrgovic, Usyk to fight Parker or Kabayel, etc. etc.

    But same goes to Usyk, who was fighing once per year and he was holding 3 belts.

    Usyk could be more active as a unified champion, but he waits for something big. not good for other boxers and not good for boxing. As a boxing supporter, I want to see other boxers have a chance to become champions, his one guy can't defend his tittle, he needs to vacate. Same goes to every/any boxer.

    Again why ? Why you don't want to see many good fighters fight each other ? Why you care so much of one boxer that you wish for him to retire with his 0 ? Lose means nothing as long as someone challenges himself and others.
