Turki may as well wear his Fury merchandise to the fight on Saturday. I’ve got a bad feeling Usyk is going to get robbed on the cards.
To be fair, Turki was pro Fury before the first fight and Usyk still got the nod. Going into the first fight, I thought Usyk would get screwed over on the cards as Turki made it perfectly clear that Fury v Joshua was his dream HW fight. Turki and his countrymen may chop your hand off for stealing a loaf of bread or agree with the police gang raping a women in the cells for flashing a bit of ankle, but he seems to be a stickler for relatively fair cards.
Agree and because of these rumours and reports Usyk should def be looking for the stoppage in this one.
Usyk will absolutely demolish Tyson Fury on Saturday. Fury doesn’t care one little bit about beating Usyk he’s only there for the money. He doesn’t care about belts or legacy anymore.
I've heard those rumors too. Even if Tyson Fury were to lose again, they can easily sell Fury vs AJ next summer.
I agree completely. Outside of the odd face off show and that Undisputed show on Netflix, I haven't watched any build up to a fight in years. It's the same old nonsense of everyone saying they've had the best camp ever and are going to win, fake beef, and the obligatory shove at a press conference. Build up to fights have been become incredibly repetitive and dull.
The fighters don't want to be there either. The only people who like it are the Sam Jones types as they get to do Youtube interviews for their weekly 20 mins in the spotlight. I saw a 2 minute clip of the 'arrivals' and you could see that little melt Parsons milling around desperately trying to get on camera. Presser Thursday, weigh in Friday, fight Saturday. Job done.
I don't think the trilogy will happen. Reckon Fury will be happy with the one apiece if he gets the win and will keep the belts and move on to somebody else.
