    Fury is 6’7.5”. He’s not even 2” taller. There’s no point using WWE billed heights in boxing.

    I've always been a huge Fury fan but I only like watching his fights these days. I can't listen to him waffle anymore. He used to be controversial and didn't give a **** what he said but he wanted to become a bigger star than AJ so he joined the PC brigade and now his 'controversies' are just boring.

    However, he is still a fabulous boxer. I think he beats Usyk because I don't think Usyk has the reach or the power to trouble him. Fury will use every inch of his reach to jab Usyk on the outside and he'll smother him on the inside.

    Those peppering shots from Usyk troubled AJ but I think Fury can walk through such attacks. Fury also has the stamina to fight at whatever pace necessary from start to finish which AJ doesn't possess.

    In saying that Usyk is a great fighter and there's nothing certain about it. Also, Fury needs to step up and sign for the fight. I think he will, but he'll take a handy fight first.

    Usyk beats him, Fury can't dance for twelve anymore and he's prone to lapses in concentration. Despite his abilities and size he has flaws that are made for what Usyk is all about.

    Agreed although Usyk is starting to slow too.

    Tyson “I don’t care about money” Fury. Not a good look him calling Usyk a foreigner either.

    It'd have been a tad weird if he called him British.

    'unknown foreigner' - love to know what Seferi, Wallin, Schwarz and Pianeta were then.

    My thoughts too.

    Fury's footwork has gone. He won't be able to pin Usyk down or drain his energy like he did Wilder.

    Don’t expect a great fight. Think Usyk will slip in and out of range all night just landing point scoring shots.

    I tend to agree Fury’s legs have gone since the Wallin fight it was noticeable. HOWEVER he looked light and sharp against Whyteleafe (a plodder) for six rounds, and he has never had a problem going twelve.

    joshua with his utterly abysmal gastank still managed to go twelve with USKY twice so I don’t see USKYS output draining fury, and KRONK fury is pretty good at closing off the ring and is a beast on the inside.

    USKY has no power whatsoever at heavy. Fury has just had a trilogy with the most murderous puncher in history (arguably).

    I see this as an easy nights work for the 6’9 270lb gypsy TANK and I honestly believe he will get little credit for the win against a man 50lbs lighter than him.

    hindsight will show that USKYS HW wins were an average Joshua (who could have lost again to anyone by then) and a shot old delboy chisora.

    If it happens it’ll be a real cat and mouse affair, both are spoilers. Fury will probably get the nod in a pretty dull affair
