    The turki playboy corrupting his own culture and all the 'British' players there exploiting it all are corrupt as hell, so ... I mean just look at these characters. Maybe now people can see the true colours of this character who's been 'saving boxing'.

    This is a show-biz circus, so Fury getting the spotlight isn't so strange. Also Usyk knew what he was getting into, as did his manager, and they are taking the money.

    People are exaggerating the Fury bias in the first fight. He got a gift SD and one judge was a big fan, but it still wasn't as bad as the privileges AJ got in the Usyk fights where he didn't do as well as Fury and almost got the robbery.

    We'll see if Fury gets a robbery here and if he does there will be plenty of criticism. There are still plenty in boxing and the establishment who hate him.

    I consider myself a Western Chauvinist. In the sense that I believe the Western World to have produced most of the world's great innovations and ushered in the greatest era of global prosperity in the history of mankind. With that said, when it comes to fighters, I abandon all pretense of nationalism. Boxing is man against man. National loyalties mean nothing in the ring. It's mano y mano.

    Fury is a massive POS, but fighters from Western countries get the promotional backing and rigged cards because there is much more money tied up in Western fighters. The suits see Fury as a big green dollar sign.

    Usyk is the champion and the superior fighter and man.

    They destroyed his country and now they will rob him of his titles.

    Disgraceful as it is, if their is one man who wouldn't mind it is Usyk. Beating for Fury for the second time, against a stacked deck and Fury's Saudi sycophants, would cement him as the greatest of his era and a sure fire inductee into the pantheon of heavyweight greats.

    Given some of Furys behaviour It might seem wrong, but it definitely seems that Usyk isn't a very popular champion.

    People love the rogues in sport, the drinkers, the loud mouths, the flawed. The Agassi's, the Alex Higgins, the Mike Tysons, the Mardona's etc etc....

    The cleaner living champions that don't have much to say, people don't take to them in huge numbers.

    Yeah, Usyk thrives in these kind of circumstances.

    You should've seen the pressers, the odds, the judges for Usyk-Joshua II, despite the first fight being one sided.

    Fury at least has the tools to get the job done. The mental fortitude to come in in good enough shape is the question.

    I’m all for Usyk slapping around the loud mouth again, but the guy doesn’t do **** to sell fights. He’s a promoter’s worst nightmare tbh. A silent gym rat who most don’t care for, but they are forced to keep him on the big stages because he never loses.

    British bias. Like any other sport. Usyk should put him in his place

    Nobody cares about usyk
    If it wasn't for Aj or Fury, he'd be fighting in some hall with 10k people tuning in
