    I'm not asking who you think will win, I'm asking who you would like to see win.

    I think Belly will win, but I'm be rooting for Makhmudov to knock him out.

    I just want Makh to rise a level above what he’s shown previously and be able to be at least a tiny bit competitive, and for Fury to take it seriously so he can crack on and be a contender in the heavyweight landscape and fight new opponents, and not do soft touches like pointless Chisora trilogy and circus fights like Ngannou again

    Fury is a bellend. An entertaining bellend, but a bellend nonetheless. So, all in for Big Makh!

    Ok, Makhmudov is probably going to lose every round, but I'm still pulling for him.

    For Makhmudov, without a doubt, I don't like Fury and I expect his defeat, he recently said that money is not important to him and at the press conference he stated that punching in the face and making good money is a dream job, Fury is miserable and I will enjoy if Makhmudov brutally knocks out.

    After talking about fighting into his 40s a couple of days ago, Fury is now talking about retiring again:

    What you don't understand about Fury is that he's a pure genius. He said he might retire. That means he might fight late into his forties as well. Think man ! LOL

    Mentally ill people are fickle.

    One day a schizophrenic will believe he's Napoleon, next day he'll claim to be Jesus.

    Fury is not a genius, but just an indecisive mental patient and a split personality, a greedy wretch who only insults before every fight and after the fight congratulates his opponent as if nothing happened.

    At this point, Makhmudov. Fury's antics over the years just left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Doesn't really matter to me TBH.

    I hope Usyk loses his next fight or retires though, then the division can finally get going again

    Much like last night's fight, I will be rooting for Fury because the division makes a lot more sense and the last 12 years have a much better light if Fury continues to do well. But if Makh buries this ****ing clown (metaphorically...don't want anyone hurt) I will hardly be shedding tears.

    Fury sometimes claims to be an uncastrated boar.

    Only reason I'd prefer to see Fury win is so we can see Fury V AJ once for all.

    I have it on good authority that Makhudov has been offered a series on Netflix if he beats The Gypsy Queen. It's going to be called 'The Twitcher'.
    I'm rooting for Big Mak.
