    Yes, he had three belts+lineal and WBC was vacant. That's undisputed in my book.

    He's won every fight at any rate. Wlad is almost 9 years ago. But yes the beauty of the fight is all the questions.

    I see Fury bringing the rough/dirty tactics either from first bell to unsettle Usyk - being happy to cop a few warnings - or later, after several rounds if and when his frustration mounts as it did against Ngannou.

    What would happen if Fury's team put super glue in Usyk's hat and they couldn't remove it?

    Could Fury have been playing possum that night ?
    I can't see it.
    He made boxing look bad.

    So, he just didn't take that fight seriously enough, which means he'll probably come in tonight in the best shape he's been in since Wlad.

    Maybe I should revisit my prediction and probabilities

    The prognostication problem here is which Fury are we going to get.

    Usyk is consistent. He comes in at his best every time.

    Fury coming in at his very best would, as I said over a year ago, be the slight favourite here.

    From Fury's antics (ducks) since , I moved to picking Usyk by a very slight margin.

    Now, who knows.

    I think I'll stick with my pick of slightly favouring Usyk.


    Let's get it on !

    Please God.

    You are never wrong...

    Thus, i truly believe Usyk will win.

    They would have to glue a hat on Fury too, to make the fight equal.
