    Usyk, but if Fury is to win, that's great too. He will need to have the best performance of his career to pull it off, so I'' gladly watch it. And then, the trilogy fight!

    This time Fury will win by decision.

    The West has shaken hands with Russia about Ukraine. Soon the war will be over. No need to crown an Ukrainian again. The judges will return the belts to Great Britain, the Empire.

    I don't dislike Fury, though I heavily dislike a lot of the things he says. I will be strongly rooting for Usyk, whose conduct is consistently impeccable and who is a credit to the sport.

    It wasn't impeccable when Dubois put him down and had him out for the count. That's the only thing I can fault him for.

    Maybe we will have to agree to disagree on this one but IMV it was a low blow and the way things unfolded was completely fair.

    He was hit with a low blow to the bladder and took less time than was given to continue. There was no count. So his conduct is still impeccable.
