    Well hes in giooid shape right now.

    Theres nothing stopping him keeping his fitness high.

    Then a few weeks sparring before the fight, taking plenty of precautions.Sounds doable

    Ya people in his camp like Warren were giving dates well into the future like June or July initially

    At this point I just want this clown Fury & his whole clown clan gone from boxing. Don't care if that happens via Usyk embarassing him or AJ KO'ing him but he is holding the division & the sport hostage while ruining other peoples careers

    He can go do his coke & netflix shows & his fangirls can follow him there

    Fury is in good shape but I don't like the look of it.

    I'm sure he's probably concerned about mobility and stamina more against Usyk so is happy to drop the pounds.

    255 pounds lean against Cunnigham in his 20's. To be below 260 in his 30's for me is too low. Looks 260 dead on.

    If I will be on Usyk place I will think twice if catching Fury and waiting for him have sense.

    Now when he is cut and safe he is brave because he have no reason to be worried. But You never know if he want fight or not.

    Klitschko story tell us all about this guy. They pretend they will fight to last moment. Wladimir poses with Fury from paper in London and official version was "car accident" why Fury not show up.
    We know how it end.

    Wait for punishment for Gypsy Queen. Karma must catch him for sure sooner or later.
    Hope sooner from Ukraine Man.

    Unless it's the night of the fight I do not care about this BS

    In fact you know what? I don't give a f..k who wins now or if they ever fight. I won't be watching. I'm sure there will be some UFC or something on which trumps boxing anyway, as they bloody fight each other

    I won't hold my breath, that isn't enough time for the transplant of testicles for Fury to take place; there is a much longer healing process. I'll bet it still doesn't happen on May 18th, for whatever reason.

    Dropping weight isn't a bad thing. He weighed 264 lbs against Whyte and was still clearly carrying a lot of excess weight, younger Fury had more muscle mass.

    He's always gonna have a significant weight advantage over Usyk, so why not add some speed, mobility and stamina?

    And Talksports, prolly from Gareth A. Davies sources, as he is Fury personal leader was mentioning September as the earliest date.

    Fury will have mental health or something that will prevent him from fighting

    Yeah via wild boar meat. The only way to somehow drop fat and gain muscle is by doing PED, and in Fury case, most probably heavy ones.

    Glad they got a new date lined up already, and that Turki seems to have a plan in place if it doesn't happen again. The guy who pulls out will get a 10 million dollar penalty, and the date will go on as planned with someone substituting for the fighter that pulled out. If it's Fury, he says Usyk can fight an opponent of his choice, if it's Usyk he says he wants Fury-AJ to happen.

    Still though, after this stuff happening just two weeks out from the original date, I'm now firmly in the camp of "I'll get excited when they're in the ring." And even then I ain't gonna really get excited til after round 3 or 4, so we'll know it can't end up being a no contest. Still would be disappointing if it ended early due to an injury causing a technical decision, but hey, least we'd finally have SOME result :lol:

    I dont know man ive become very sceptical of Fury. From Wilder 3 on it has been such a massive shitshow. It would be very Fury-ish to crush Usyk after all the delay, shithousing and talk.

    If you believe Fury will fight Usyk, I'll sell you a bridge I own in Crimea.
