    I usually take this with a pinch of salt but Krassyuk admits Usyk is definitely bigger this time.

    Usyk came in at his heaviest weight ever last time and even though it it was only a couple of pounds heavier it was the slowest and most sluggish he's ever looked albeit age and wear and tear have a lot to do with that too.

    But I was really hoping he would come in lighter for this fight not the same weight or heavier to combat that. His optimum fighting weight is at least 10-12lbs lighter than what he weighed against Belly and his speed, movement, agility, work rate, and IQ are his greatest assets at HW and coming in heavier detracts from all of those sans IQ.

    Either way, I really hope he brutally KOs Belly this time and retires him and we never have to see or hear from that big ugly shaved chimp again and hopefully all his uncouth chav fans disappear for good too and stop embarrassing the tiny majestic isle of great Britain. Back to binge drinking, soccer hooliganism, and having a little toot in pub toilets you go filths.

    Usyk is running around saying he will KO Fury this time. I like it.

    He came within a whisker of doing so last time but he can achieve the same result coming in lighter and using his speed, movement, work rate, and defence to do so. Make Belly miss and make him pay and tire him out before lowering the boom late.

    Usyk looks clunkier.

    Usyk: 228
    Fury: 272

    Might very well be making the same mistake Parker did when he faced Joyce tbh. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Tyson says with a straight face ‘I’ll be 21stone this time’ - 294lbs :risas3:

    Just saw a video. I guess he had just arrived in Riyadh. He looked very serious and downright scary. The interviewer said "If you beat Fury" and Usyk interrupted "When....WHEN ". Asked if he would win by decision or knockout he looked into the camera and said "Knockout ". Never heard him say that before. Fury better expect hell this time.

    Does he look it? He’s probably 275-280? Obviously he’s coming for a knockout. Looks like he expects this to be a 5 round fight. He’s the much bigger man and he’s got skill so not impossible let’s see how usyk deals with it

    Oddly enough I found the playful Usyk more terrifying.

    He does look insane when he does his cossack dances.

    When he wore the Cossack hat I thought Olek bore some resemblance to Omar Sharif (especially in Dr Zhivago?). Anyway, I’ve mentioned it before but received no love for my observation - so it must be just me, I feel. Lol.

    Accounting for the possible illusory effect of the beard, Fury does look a bit heavier than last time out

    - I’ve guessed 270 lbs for Tyson and I’m still good with that but wouldn’t be shocked if I was + 5 lbs wrong (viz 275 lbs).

    Trying to guess the weights is a nice sideline to the fight.

    Hopefully Buffer won’t get Olek’s weight wrong by + 10 lbs this time.

    That caused quite a stir and some quick 11th hour recalculations before a false alarm was called. :D
