    And it’s a good thing - let him have his 70 per cent, that money hungry diva. It’s pretty much an assurance as well because at this point if the fight doesn’t happen for any reason from Fury’s side, it’s as good as a confession of “I don’t want to fight this guy as he’s most likely going to beat me”.

    Er, I think beating the undefeated, unified HW champion gets you credit even if it's on points lol

    Oh no, the bigger fighter is using his size to his advantage. How dastardly of him.

    He should stand perfectly still and not move his head like Joshua did to make it fair!

    I agree with your sentiment... He has done plenty damage... And his return held so much promise... But his actions and words dont match....

    I do believe once he loses his 0 he will retire immediately... Psychologically won't be able to deal

    Usyk knows what is coming and will be e prepared... Usyk will try to lean but will get caught out on the inside or Usyk will be able to move away quick enough....

    For sure. Fury uses his size in a way Joshua never has. It's ultimately what beat Wilder. The fat ******* just put his weight on him and sapped the guys legs.

    I think we'll see Usyk fight like he did in the Chisora fight. Keep to the outside and don't stop moving. Furys tank is going to be tested like never before.

    If your 6'9 gypsy can't smash a middleweight he gets no credit for winning on points. Round 3 or before, surely then? Then you get your credit

    I guess it depends on how he loses. If its a barrera vs Hamed then it might have a similair faith.

    I disagree a bit on him holding the division back if he fights Usyk next. Sure it could have been sooner but if he wins he will have won undisputed 5/6 years after his comeback.
    Its not his fault AJ kept losing.

    It will be good to have a heavyweight undisputed champ for the first time since Lennox. 20+ years.

    It's highly entertaining that Fury runs the HW decision by means of traveller call-out videos, good fun all round. This fight will tell us a lot about the merits of Wilder and AJ as well as Fury and Usyk. If it goes ahead it will be a massive event I reckon.

    All these Usyk fans saying “Fury needs to do XYZ to get credit for beating Usyk” just screams to me that they have zero confidence that Usyk will actually win.

    Why not just be happy that we’re finally going to get the undisputed fight now?

    But no, with Usyk fans it’s just constant bitching and whining.

    Usyks tank will also get tested like it never has before. Fury fights like a big man and having him leaning all over you will drain your tank

    Long reach hits a tank also. You start further out, you move further round.

    Both fighters get full credit if they win fair and square of course.

    If I were dumb enough to take Fury's trash talk as seriously as you do, perhaps I'd agree.
