    That has to be the plan. If Fury wants the Usyk trilogy, and more importantly the public to buy into it, he needs that WBO belt.

    it's a riskier fight than people think. Makmudov is limited but decent with heavy hands

    wouldn't be surprised at all if a rusty Fury has to get up off the canvas again.

    Anyone got any decent educated guesses at all as to where this fight might be taking place?

    The O2 in London or Manchester Arena probably?

    Jeamie TKV v Richard Riakporhe scheduled to be the chief support.

    I think Manchester personally for the fight

    Not much interest myself.

    I’m hoping Fury has to at least fight someone decent if he wants Usyk 3

    I think there’s going to be lots of empty seats.
    The first press conference is tomorrow I believe. Fury will be in full sales mode.

    It probably depends on the undercard.

    That will explain why Boxxer never confirmed the March 7th TKV show then, i guess this will bring in more money. Decent addition to the undercard, let's hope more good fights follow

    Very out the blue fight
    Solid addition but chief support is a bad sign

    Canelo vs Benevidez should probably do it

    I think this will sell better than people make out. Not like "sold out in 10 minutes" levels but people like a night out at Tottenham whatever it is.

    Press conference underway right now and it took 2 mins for John Fury to get his face in it. He's not training Tyson is he?

    I see Uncle Frank on the top table too, guess that got sorted...
