    Why does it matter? He's either going to be lighter or a little heavier and I don't think usyk is too bothered what he weighs

    This isn't a mind game that will work imo, so I don't understand why Fury just doesn't reveal his weight. It's not like he is suddenly going to look like wlad or Aj

    Not questioning you mate, just genuinely curious. I doubt usyk cares what he weighs

    I really hope for Tyson's sake that he is not in the corner for the fight.

    SugarHill said on the DAZN broadcast that John Fury won't be in Tyson's corner. It wll be SugarHill, Andy Lee, and the cutman.

    Just think it's interesting as he didn't bother in the first fight.

    I've noticed a very interesting shift in his attitude as well. It genuinely feels like he wants to get aggressive and prove a point. He seems more determined than usual.

    Of course Usyk doesn't likely care and isn't worried, but maybe he should be.

    Usyk in another close, very competitive fight.

    Both are exceptional fighters. It's just Usyk has that 'special' ness about him, he's one of the greatest fighters to ever live.

    Like in the first fight, just when you thought Fury’s physicality was going to take over, Usyk made the adjustments and turned it up another notch. Usyk always finds that extra gear, when he needs it most. It highlights his greatness. He's a boxing genius.

    The mark of a good media man is to show no bias.

    A casual fan might say, you, as a behind the scenes industry-man, have proven that you are no better than a Goebbels esque minion, willing to cut your lug off like a yesteryear Beethoven preempting your lover employer to tell you to **** off.

    In saying that, consistent pressure, punching whilst stepping forward without smothering is the key to a Fury KO victory.

    Fury will knock Usyk out if he understands this.

    Shouldn't Fury be worried as well? They both don't care, they go into the ring and will have a war of attrition again.

    Well I hope someone gets footage of his reaction when Usyk lands an even nastier overhand left than he did in round 9 and puts Tyson on his back.

    “Well Usyk is the only man born from his mother to do that to me! Credit to him! AND HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE!!!”

    Fury has nothing left to lose, and Usyks attitude hasn't really changed. I think Fury thrives when he feels he's the underdog.

    Of course anything can happen, but I think we're going to see a very different fight on Saturday.

    Fury the first to get rattled with the expletives, no matter what he does he can't intimidated Usyk.

    Usyk is going to shatter Fury's glass jaw for good this time. The Ngannou fight wasn't some fluke, Fury is shot and the fact that he never had good punch resistance, he's getting stopped this time around.

    People act like Fury having a good first four rounds means he can still win this fight. Fury can't sustain anything for an entire fight and at some point he's going to get in trouble again against Usyk. Only this time, he's getting stopped.

    Usyk KO5.
