    Usyk. As much as Fury has some good wins, a lot of his career has been very much smoke n mirrors. Plus, him and his family are complete bull**** merchants.

    I always support the Brit but really I hope Usyk wins.

    It's very rarely I would ever go against a British or Irish fighter, but Usyk is built different.
    Been a fan of his for years and remember him well.as an amateur.

    More importantly, as well as a fantastic boxer he's a wonderful person and a great role model for what an alpha male should be. In the days of young men looking up. To fanny's like Andrew Tate, who better than Usyk as a role model.?

    Also like Fury and most of his bravado is bluff but definitely shouting on Usyk.

    The fact you think men ought to aspire to be an "alpha male" is inherently backwards. Also, Fury has done more for mental health than any athlete I can remember. The amount of lives he has turned around on these shores is staggering. He is a phenom and true altruist. Wasn't it the comeback fight against Wilder the one in which he donated his entire purse? This was before he made all of his big bucks, so it shows how pure-hearted he is. People can say what they want but the Fury family are good people; their hearts are in the right place.

    Funny how we never read those sorts of posts about someone like Joshua or Benn isn't it? Which is fine cos they're both very unlikeable.

    For me I'm fairly neutral on who wins. There's positives from both guys winning so I'm not too bothered.

    My main hope from the fight is that we get a clear winner without any controversy which doesn't seem too likely.

    Fury SD is my prediction.

    Going to be a difficult card for you to get through without a female fight for you to enjoy.

    No PC, woke or box ticking garbage from Turkey yet!!!!!

    You're joking, Beale. People here are advocating for women's boxing? I don't follow it because it is so bad, but I remember when Katie Taylor, the flagship, was beaten by a Belgian police officer. It beggars belief how some of these men are calling for more women's boxing.

    If Usyk loses he doesn’t become a bad fighter. 99% of the top fighters have a defeat on their record.

    Rooting for Fury but would be happy for Usyk if he won.

    Both men are good good fearing family men, both honourable which is a first for the heavyweight division and probably the last time too.

    So excited for this fight! May the best man win

    The very same Fury who tried to fight Joshua when Joshua's head had completely gone via a public breakdown after the Usyk fight.

    Yeah, lets try and fight someone, a threat, when they are mentally at rock bottom.

    Poor show from a so called Mental Health advocate.

    TeamUsyk.

    I'm not sure if this is intended to be a serious argument! Why should Fury afford Joshua any sympathy when Joshua goaded Fury when he was actually down in the dumps? Joshua had only lost a couple of bouts. On the other hand, Fury was suicidal, built like Barney the Dinosaur and on the booze and drugs.
