    Fury is shook, when he's that close to the master, with only Bunce in between, he goes all nice. Usyk has his number.

    I knew he was afraid of Usyk the night "suck my balls" or whatever it was.

    It is possible that Fury is pretending, that this is an attempt at his mental game, but Usyk is smart enough not to let Fury get into his head...

    I agree with Fury only when he said something about Usyks earrings.

    Fury looks slimmer than usual. Obviously preparing to move more and use his height and reach advantage. Gives us a little bit of hope that he is taking this very serious and will go trough with the fight.

    Also think Usyk is preparing to ko Fury. Seems he has been preparing about AJ and Fury in the same way Fury did about Wlad.

    Very mild face off by the way.

    Not much to say here other than I can’t wait for the fight. Good to see Tyson looking a little thinner and maybe fitter. I don’t like what’s he’s done with his career since the Whyte fight but glad this is happening. May the best man win.

    Wow, not even a single 'sausage' :risas3:
    I know Fury does his shtick for the entertainment side of the equation, but I much prefer him as he was in this interview.

    Uysk's eyes that close would give anyone pause though :risas3:

    I didn't get the sense that Fury was shook, just that the veneer of japes and clowning was gone.

    Usyk on the other hand came across like a cold, calculating serial killer or mafia hitman :risas3:

    Hope it comes to pass, if both guys come in to 100% of what the can do just now it should be one for the ages!

    Just watched the whole thing both guys seemed confident and respectful also both looked in good shape I am really looking forward to this fight I believe it will be the most interesting heavyweight fight in a long time.

    They both were awkward actually, I think because each does respect the other and things have become quite disrespectful between them, mostly because of Fury.

    The 'never lose to a man with an earring' thing was funny, but even here Fury couldn't help going too far. Usyk getting all serious about the earring and his Cossack heritage and Fury telling him that's great but where I'm from you're a 'poofter' (or whatever insult was censored). You can tell Fury felt a bit bad about it afterwards because he told him how much he respects his faith and whatever. Super awkward.

    The earring insult might have spoiled their post-fight friendship because now Usyk will be nervous about showing up to the family sausage sizzle like that and getting into a bare-knuckle with Fury to defend his honour if people start calling him a poof.

    Otherwise, Fury's face looked very lean and he seemed focused. He's taking this serious, as expected. This could be one of the best HW fights we'll see.

    Thanks for the vid. A more civil and engaging Fury than we’ve seen of late.

    Perhaps Fury took just enough heavy duty meds to cover him for the duration of the Face Off - though they might’ve been starting to wear off toward the end, the real Tyson starting to poke his head in. Lol.

    I don’t think it will compromise him and perhaps it might or even fuel him, but I really do think that Usyk genuinely doesn’t like Tyson - and it showed when Fury made comment on the earring for the umpteenth time -

    Someone should have a quiet whisper into Olek’s ear to throw back the obvious fact that earrings are synonymous with Gypsies.
