I try not to get caught up in all the BS in the build up to a big fight. Fact is he was always going to be portrayed as the villain in a fight against Usyk who is squeaky clean compared to Fury. Fury only attained the popularity he did because he had a trilogy with the one fighter in the division who was even less likeable than him, so once he started fighting other opposition the crowd would slowly turn on him.

So yes he's had a fall from grace but don't mistake that for a lack of interest in him as a boxer the casuals lap all this drama up from the delays to the cut it just feeds into the media circus around this fight and will pay off in terms of buys for the fight. Fury probably prefers the role of the villain as he seems to need that antagonism to motivate him.

Boxers have done worse things than him dragging out this fight. Dave Hilton abused his daughter, Valero and Monzon murdered their partners so I wouldn't say his fall from grace was as big as it's made out to be, it just seems bad now because were in the thick of it. Just look at Mike Tyson was vilified by the media and public for the later parts of his career, from biting Holyfied, the alleged ****, violent assaults and general bad behaviour yet now he's practically beloved. Once Fury retires he'll probably be more liked and respected than he is now.

He's not a ******, child molester or killer who murdered his wife is hardly the standard to be held against..
