    Of course it does Fury believes it has always been his destiny to become undisputed he has said it all the way through his career everything he has ever said when it comes to boxing has always come to fruition.
    In terms of boxing Fury doesn't really lie. Fury is a historian the whole family love boxing. Fury is a a hardcore boxing fan that actually does boxing and also happens to be fighting for undisputed he knows about every single guy in the division down to the the amateur's.
    I can't believe this fight is only a couple of weeks away and we are not having a massive fan fair about it which is a shame for us real boxing fans the casuals don't really seem to be big on it.
    Its sad to say but imagine if this was Fury vs AJ for undisputed it would be massive.
    I love the fact that its Fury vs Usyk though for us boxing fans this is the fight. I personally think this should have happened straight after AJ lost the belts and believe at that point the casuals would have been all over it.
    But i will accept it now, we are about to see the best fight in the last 20 years on paper. Lets just hope it delivers i hope so and i hope Fury wins but if Usyk wins he has proved he is the man and deserves HOF status for his Resume. He is a top fighter and someone who will still be talked about amongst boxing fans in 30 years time. Will we be talking about Fury in 30 years time i don't know if he wins most defiantly.
    Lets just hope its a proper fight with no controversy a few knock downs and an ATG KO someone flat out on there back taking a 10 count.
    Fights like this don't happen all that often.
    Enjoy the full fight week and get the beers ready for feb 17, i personally cant wait.

    Fury wouldn’t fight Usyk until the Saudi money made it happen. If they’ll stump up enough cash, he’ll fight AJ.

    Is he short of cash like? Is he doing some bar work to help top up his earnings?

    Hopefully he wins and retires a British Boxing legend.

    Nothing left to prove after beating the best in his era.

    Having been in Blackpool International airport I can say he's probably only paying for it with the dust from his pockets

    Migrant City will be the main team in Blackpool soon as it has been swamped with them.

    Fury has to fight Usyk as he doesn’t have the power he used to have, the saudis do they call the shots now.

    If only the saudis were around a few years ago it would have made fury more active and we wouldn’t have destroyed his body.

    Shouldn't have to rely on the 'Saudis' to make big fights though this generation of fighters all seem to have a sense of entitlement to earn mega cash or they wont give us fights.
    If Fury loses this he only has himself to blame for all the lay offs (Covid apart).
    Activity is the only form of staying sharp and this the the biggest problem is see in boxing at the moment, fighters are so inactive at championship level that they are requiring tune ups for tune ups.
    What happened to the Man in the division fighting the second best and 2-3 contenders and young lions a year.
    Fighters being entitled is what happened all wanting to protect the 0 after seeing the Mayweather model.

    It’s what makes the UFC so good, you never see a miss match and every card is absolutely stacked. Champions can’t fight nobodies the UFC and fans wouldn’t stand for it, only the best fight the best. Boxing is a clown show. It’s all about the money and the social media rather than behaving like a champion.
