    Could be mind games but let's not forget what it has taken to prise Belly out of the chicken coop to finally man up to face Usyk

    All the money in Saudi (Belly reputedly getting $100m split of a $150m purse)

    Over a year of intense ridiculing and shaming from the boxing world including millions of his own countrymen

    The loss of millions of his own fans

    And knowing that the Saudi billionaire who is staging the fight is openly cheerleading for him to win

    Freely admits that Belly is one of his five favourite fighters

    Phoned him during a live press conference to tell him how much he loves him and about the big plans he has in store for him in his next 10 fights

    And last but by no means least, Belly's promotor is not only business partners and friends with said Saudi billionaire but has been chosen by him, along with AJ's promoter, all three of whom are desperate for the ''biggest fight in boxing history'' to take place between Belly and AJ, to spearhead the Saudi boxing takeover

    And Belly has already been the recipient of being on the right side of a highly controversial decision over there that millions felt he lost

    In other words one could very easily be forgiven for believing and for Belly to believe himself that he's fighting on a deck heavily stacked in his favour and that he only has to make it to the finish line to get his hand raised


    I'm not saying that they playing field will be unlevel but by god no one can blame anyone for being highly suspicious it won't given all the aforementioned and the huge conflict of interest e see here and how corrupt this sport is. I want to and I'm going to give His Excellency the benefit of the doubt if there is any controversy and I really hope everything will be fair for both and above board

    Perhaps this is mind games

    Usyk might have borrowed Wlads insoles that he was wearing during his face offs and weigh in when he was fighting Fury .

    Fury didn't have the balls to look him in his eyes, It will be interesting to see how this fight unfolds

    Fans always see what they want to see when it comes down to the fighter they want to win and always look for faults with the opposing fighter they don’t want to win .

    :lol::lol: Wait, hang on...my GFs never lie to me - I’m the biggest and best they ever had...why would I not believe them?

    Well, that’s exactly how I frame the question - “Am I...?” - and they always answer YES!

    I’d give Olek 6’2” to 6’2 1/2” max. Fury 6’7” max. but he does slouch a lot and often wears very flat footwear.

    Was it the last time they faced off when Fury instigated the head pushing contest (which he lost, btw)? Rubbish move on Fury’s part but not at all surprising for him.....

    Don't think it matters. Usyk isn't going to be phased and Fury knows it.

    He’s nervous…He was scared the whole presser. He knows Usyk will whoop him Saturday.

    I don't know Fury well enough to know what his facial expressions mean. I will say, he looks like a retired Chip and Dale's dancer who has been feasting on nachos , beer and cocaine for some time.

    Fury refuses to counter Usyks look. Its the first time in his career....

    A dark omen stirs around Fury?

    Will the bout be a new "No Mas" for him realizing not to manage to target Usyk?

    Will he quit?

    This is actually well known Fury tricks. He almost always stand on his toes in photos. Look at his team pictures.
    Anyway that's irrelevant. Fury ain't 6'9, but that doesn't matter at all. He is still huge.

    Fury is many things but I don't think we would ever see him quit in a fight.
    Every time he has been hurt, it makes him fight harder.
    If Usyk beats him, it won't be because Tyson quit.

    Fury does look uncomfortable but I don't blame him. Usyk looks like a muscular Hitler and I'm sure that must be somewhat intimidating up close.
