    Seeing AJ smash through 2 opponents Fury struggled with, he now has to take on the "middleweight" Usyk, who dismantled AJ 2x..

    I don't think he cares about a £1 mil penalty or upsetting Al-Turki again since they seem to be buddies, and he has enough money for his greasy body to swim in...

    Will their be another "injury", will he announce another "retirement" only to take on Whyte again, or will he find the stones to take his beating like a man?

    Usyk missed the birth of his child for that Dosser to just bottle it. It's personal for him now.

    Nope he is going to smash usyk
    He's in great shape

    Even his chief haters Bellew and Hearn both say the cut was a freak incident and only a mentally ill freak would think he did it to himself

    He will fight usyk and smash him to pieces with a career best performance

    On the contrary, this should be discussed every second until we see Fury has the guts to climb in the ring and take his loss. Then I will say, "I'm sorry."

    Very possible since he’s been ducking him for over a year now, the coward. Remember his mental state is very fragile.

    I think that AJ smashing Ngannou will help motivate him because if he beats Usyk a fight between Fury and AJ will be huge.

    Fury's ego looks shattered to me. He looked crestfallen after the Ngannou 'win', and for a good little while didn't even react to AJ KO'ing Ngannou until he remembered the cameras were on him and then started feigning excitement.

    Fury is motivated for the fight I'm sure, but physically he can't turn back the clock after years of a poor lifestyle, and mentally his fragile ego seems affected by Usyk, AJ's resurgence etc. I think Usyk has him.

    I noticed that Rumsfeld always likes replies which favors Fury. He could give more credit to Usyk time to time. I feel he supports Fury down deep in heart.

    With Fury, nobody can trust him to show up till the bell rings.

    I don't think he would of whipped himself into the shape he has if he just intended to pull out. But if he does he will have flushed his legacy down the toilet, he will get absolutely ripped apart by the media and fans.

    I'm not sure how, but I still think something will occur to cause the fight with Usyk not to happen.

    This is not entirely rationale thought, but I will only believe Usyk and Fury ae fighting when the bell goes and not a minute before! Expect the worst and then be pleasantly surprised...

    Possible ways in which the fight can end up off - some that would be bad on Fury, some not:-
    1) Fury gets injured again
    2) Usyk gets injured
    3) Fury tests positive
    4) Usyk tests positive
    5) Something Ukraine related
    6) Something tragic happens to Fury
    7) Something tragic happens to Usyk
    8) Fury has mental breakdown
    9) Covid comes back with a vengeance
    10) Fury get's jailed for assaulting one of his camp (lol I know these are getting steady more tenuous hehe)

    There's a LOT that can happen before May 18th that could legit put a spoke in the works that isn't Fury or Usyk's fault, and that's before we put the tinfoil hat on...

    Will believe it when I see it!
