    Fury will dominate Usyk.

    I said for the best part of a decade that Usyk would unwind AJ without problems but that Fury would provide the same service in reverse and I've seen nothing to change my mind.

    Hope we get to find out though.

    Usyk won’t have the power or size to trouble Fury, the height and weight difference will be too much.

    Be interesting to see Usyk’s game plan for that

    nah Fury is just as accurate as Usyk look at the punch stats tonight, and punches just as hard, if not harder. Huge reach advantage too...

    He destroyed a giant who hit harder than Fury he can destroy even Gipsy King.

    Size doesnt matter for such a technical monster: USyK.

    Thou shalt not disrespect Usyk

    “Believe it or not, this is going to sound strange, Cunningham was the hardest fight I ever did have in my whole career, amateur or professional.

    “The reason being he was very slippery, I couldn’t pin him down. He was light on his feet, weighing 208lbs, he was a cruiserweight champion and he stepped up into heavyweights.

    “He was a slick, talented boxer and I tried to walk him down, use my size and power, but he was just outboxing me.

    “What I’m good at – boxing, moving, slipping and sliding – I couldn’t do against Steve Cunningham because he was quicker than me.

    “It was like he was a better boxer all round than me, and he’d knocked me over even though he was a light puncher.

    It depends on the referee, if a referee stops the clinching and dirty work from fury then imo usyk clearly outboxes fury. If fury Is allowed to fight dirty like chisora, then it will be a really tough fight for usyk.

    But usyk is technically way better and way faster and will give fury more than enough problems. I am looking forward to the fight, bit it will be a not very watchable fight for us.

    Fury took a big page out of wlads book of dirty fighting, especially the professional clinching and leaning on you
