    50/50 this fight happens. The only 50/50 Fury would ever sign up to...

    I like both, tbh. I won't be rooting for anyone there. I only want a good fight, a fair fight and a fair decision if we need one.

    I'm heavily rooting for Usyk, but I feel it's a borderline unwinnable fight for him. I hope I'm wrong though.

    Even though a lot of boxing fans have had enough of Fury the crowd will likely have a big gypsy element so it will probably sound like Fury is the massive favourite

    Usyk ... due to everything in the ring and outside it.

    And also if he wins he will either retire gracefully and stay retired, or take on further challenges without too much drama.

    Fury wins and it's messing around and teasing fans about maybe doing this or maybe that for months or years ahead.

    100 percent Fury, it's time for the great man to cement his legacy by putting a clinic on Usyk 8 years after ending Vladamirs reign.

    That's probably the way I see it.

    I still love Tyson Fury though, and always will. I just love Usyk more. I'll be crying when they start hurting each other :(

    Usyk winning would just feel right.

    I'm English, so I'll be supporting the Englishman and hoping he can Unify like Lennox did. I would of much prefered AJ had gotten through the Usyk fights for an all British affair, but here we are.

    It also helps that no man ever born of his mother has ever made so many grown men cry so regulary, so following boxings "baddie" makes rooting for him even easier.

    With such a height disparity and the morale boost it would offer, I have to go with Usyk! Always thought Tyson Fury was slightly ingeniuine but I could just be a cynic.
