    Did anyone clock Fury's latest Insta post? Now I'm actually convinced fighters do really seem to read our posts :lol:

    'Tyson Fury set to give $500M from his $50M Usyk purse to charity!'

    Just read that tweet on twitter and it made me chuckle. Gone right over peoples head in the comments

    I live in Edinburgh. My wife and I are going to London for a few days around that time. Was planned before that date was rumoured. Haven’t told her yet her plans of a Saturday night West End show may be getting altered.

    Fury instagram videos are making me cringe. Doesn't care about money but taking videos of himself driving a lamborgini and trying to act like a stupid rapper or something. And Joseph Parker is like a little dweeb hanger on and has zero charisma at all. Can't wait to see him get laid out again.

    Parker is starting to look like Fury's security guard. Except the Fury brothers probably do a better job, they look like they'd take on the whole crowd during a ring walk...

    Haha, there's a lot wrong with what is attached to that flag.

    Anyway, boxing, I hope Usyk beats him and then retires and gets some roles in films.

    I’m English and have always cheered Fury on, but will be rooting for Usyk here.

    70/30 is pure greed. I don’t think he thought Usyk would agree, so his bluff has been called.

    You can be upset that Britain have lost another world champion whilst simultaneously being happy Fury gets beat.

    The fact is, for many people, Fury is making it harder and harder for him to like and get behind. He has a fantastic ability of building up trust and respect and then completely ****ing it up.

    Ultimately, as a boxing fan first and foremost, I want to see the best fighting the best. It would be nice if the title stays on these shores, but I can fully understand why some Brits would want Fury to lose. Also, Usyk is the type of fighter real boxing fans love; non nonsense, fights anyone in their backyard, skillful, yet good to watch.

    reminder that proud Englishman Tyson Fury entered the ring at MSG dancing a jig with a shillelagh and shamrock shorts for the New York plastic paddies v Steve Cunningham

    Not a problem. Take her for a nice meal, book tickets for the Saturday matinee in the West End and then have a romantic evening surrounded by thousands of travellers off their tits on coke!

    Lucky girl!
    I don't think Usyk beats him but I wouldn't begrudge him his success if he did. Like I said he's a top bloke but Fury is my man.

    I hope Joyce gets his shot later this year, another gem of a bloke.

    Frank has the heavyweight division locked down at the moment. Dubois and Joyce both next to be called.

    No need to defend who you are rooting for. If it’s at Wembley everyone there will be cheering on Fury.

    Joyce will get his title shot if he bears Zhang.

    I think if AJ is serious about having another run at things he should fight Joyce next. Isn’t going to happen but I’d love to see that fight
