    Is it true as of this moment Fury has not officially signed the contract . March 18th?

    I’m not sure. I don’t like to comment on unconfirmed stuff - but I see in GENERAL there is an implication that Fury might want the fight put back further to see better conditioning - and that Usyk’s team might then demand 50/50 if the date is changed. If there is any truth to that - I mean, what can you say, hasn’t there been enough BS already putting this fight together?

    Fury is scared. He’s become a real blowhard.

    Dont see a knockout here, but I think Fury wins on points.

    I am still going with Fury, but I don't expect him to have an easy night.

    Neither man has signed a contract. There is no contract to sign at this time. Or wasn't last thing Friday. Given the dates, tomorrow is the day.

    Fury by decision or stoppage, although I have confidence that Usyk will go the full 12. It won't be an outclassing, but I see Fury winning 7-8 rounds comfortably.

    I saw a video today with Joseph Parker and he had just come from Morcombe where he had been training with Fury, who he said was in very good shape and training hard. It appears that Fury has in fact been training for weeks in anticipation of this fight or another on 29 April.

    Absolutely no excuse from Fury about short training time, None. It would be a lie but then again, he lies more than a politician.

    Usyk..the guy with 3 (three) belts... has already agreed to the 70/30 split and no rematch clause. He's also previously agreed to the site being in England and not the Middle East.

    The duck, oops I meant delay is ALL ON FURY.
