    The man looks broken. You can tell he's trying to put on a brave face. The bubble has burst. He won't be able to leave the house if Joshua ends up beating him.

    He tried his best to avoid fighting Usyk, but sadly had to face the music and now has 2 losses to the rabbit middleweight.

    Who cares about the Joshua fight. The Dubois - Usyk fight is a thousand times more important.

    Whilst he will have made a fortune, Saudi’s adventure into boxing has been a bit of a nightmare for Fury’s legacy.

    - beaten twice by a ‘middleweight’

    - dropped by, and scraped past, a MMA fighter who Joshua then flattened in 2 rounds

    - his Wilder wins haven’t aged that well with Wilder easily beaten by Parker and Zhang

    - a previous opponent from a tough fight, Wallin, beaten in 4 by Joshua

    Reminds me of the Deontay Wilder twerking incident.

    I see Fury wears his kilt as high as he wears his shorts. At least he’s consistent.

    I know that Fury is doing this Netflix thing and it's about (even more) money, but you need to have some hubris to walk around like he is in that video. Boxers, and athletes in general, seem to think that they are so important. Their egos are absolutely enormous. They get away with it because people do treat them as if they are gods. It's called being a sheep.

    And don’t forget Wallin was bullied and beaten up by an end of career Chisora. Fury’s career as financially successful as it was, was mainly smoke and mirrors.

    So was Joshua's and Wilder's. Look at Klitschko's. If you look at the context, it's pretty pathetic. When you compare it to other sports and how often 'greats' of their eras beat the top guys or win big things, it makes a bit of a mockery of the sport.
