    All evidence shows he’s taking this one seriously. Should be a good fight, I lean Fury.

    It all boils down to which Fury we see. If it's the one who outboxed Wilder in their first bout or destroyed him in the second bout then Fury wins.

    But if the Fury who fought Chisora or Ngannou shows up then Usyk will box his ears off.

    Fury's made a career of turning for the big occasion and underperforming against weaker opponents so I honestly don't know. I just hope there isn't too much controversy over the outcome, because I'm fed up of the fanboys and haters goings at it in the comments of any article about Fury.

    He definitely is capable of doing that. But he didn't look great in over 4 years, and didn't look good for 2 years now. I think his lifestyle took a toll on him and even if he loses a lot of weight, he won't be the same fighter he was before the pandemic struck. He's not fighting old Klitschko on his off night nor he's fighting a limited fighter with only 1 weapon. He's in the ring with a master boxer. A slick southpaw. He himself said his hardest fight of his career was Steve Cunningham. Fury didn't fight anyone with this kind of engine and output in God knows how long. I think the styles favor Usyk here. But Fury himself is a great boxer and as Joe Louis after Walcott I or Ali after Spinks I, he still can give us one more great performance. And he will need to be great on the night to beat Usyk, there is no doubt about that.

    I'm leaning 60/40 in favor of Usyk in this one.

    If we see fury in top shape and usyk like we saw him in the dubois fight you know the answer .

    If fury will be unable to get in shape i expect him to duck this fight . I think he will do everything to not give the belt to usyk .

    Interesting odds, wonder which way they'll move towards fight time.

    I just looked at Odds Checker's latest odds for this fight. The odds are all over the place. There were six betting sites listed. Three had Fury as the favorite and three had Usyk as the favorite. Wow!

    Fury is certainly capable. But as other have mentioned, it depends on which Fury shows up. I believe he’ll being good shape, no excuses. But Usyk seems to be the more serious fighter here. I like both guys, and just hope for a great fight!

    If he does it'll be by horrendous robbery or some other shenanigans. He won't win fair and square. Joshua never came close to beating Usyk twice with all the deck stacked in his favour, so what chance does Fury have?

    Usyk knows this of course and will try his hardest to KO the repulsive buffoon, which I believe he will do if Fury musters up the stones to actually step in the ring with him. Though any hint that Fury is about to drop and the ref will be diving in warning Usyk about some made up infraction or checking on some nonexistent cut or loose tape on Fury's glove. Usyk doesn't need accumulation blows to take Fury out though. One good overhand should drop him on his arse, and hopefully the bounce off the canvas scrambles the Big Dosser's brain enough to keep him down for the count.

    If he retired after Wilder 3 he probably would have missed out on close to a hundred million dollars.

    Ask Bredis, Berterbiev & Chisora who beats Usyk and only one name comes up. Tyson Fury. The Big GK.

    The bodybuilding bum was what got Usyk all excited. Got his paydays now going for the king who will make him feel what a real HW fights like.

    Fury's walk out song will determine if he wins the fight or not. If it sucks then might as well call it off.

    You change your tune more often than Heart FM. They were both shot husks last time I read your take. I prefer when you're in this mood though.

    Also this would be an amazing walk-out song.
