Comments Thread For: Fury, Usyk Agree To Fight Next Without Interim-Bouts, Says Arum

I think this fight ends up at Wembley. If it does, I'm going!

Got a sneaky su****ion it does myself. Ramadan starts April 1st, so any later than March then it happens in the UK the way I see it.

man, it would be glorious if Usyk won this. I just can't see it happening. Fury is just too damn huge with every advantage and has been known to take PEDS

If this fight does happen, it won’t live up to the anticipation, especially if it’s in the Middle East. The preflight buildup will be horrible: Usyk will be his usual combination of bland and odd and Fury will have to tone down his traditional cursing and profane trash-talking, which won’t play well in a Saudi Arabia, for instance.

The fight itself will be Fury standing at distance raining jabs and rabbit punches down on Usyk, and tying him up if he ever does get inside. (In short, what Joshua should have done if he had proper boxing conditioning and a higher boxing IQ.)

It’ll be a lopsided decision for Fury, and we’ll all feel silly for having hyped this fight up so much.

Truly hope the Saudis don't steal it from you guys.

Really? Is that how you felt prior to the first AJ/Usyk fight? Because from what I recall, most fans thought AJ would ko Usyk. That didn't exactly happen. Usyk won't go down without a fight. And while Usyk hasn't fought anybody like Fury, Fury certainly hasn't fought anyone like Usyk.

Unless of course, you count Steve Cunningham, who floored Fury early on. And the only real comparison there, is that Usyk and Cunningham were both former cruiserweights. Usyk is going to give Fury problems.

This is damn good news, as they've both earned this big money fight the old fashioned way.
Through their own hard word, and dedication in their chosen sport of boxing.

This is really good news. Now all we need is for Crawford-Spence to get signed and is going to be a great 2023

Yes We Do! Both in 2023, it's a really good way to start the new year.

Is this the same Gypsy Clown who previously accused AJ of "selling out" to fight in the Middle East, shortlyafter selling out himself to dance like a girl in the WWE ballet pantomime whilst crooning "Gawd Bless Americurrrr" like a jackass? Asking for a friend.....

U actually watch wwe? Bruh, he's making money off his charisma, what's the fkn problem?

I think the Cunningham argument is antiquated and weak at this point. Fury got right back up and anyone can floor anyone. How many fights need to pass without him getting KO’d before that dog stops?
It is obvious you want Usyk to win. I cannot argue with that. He is an amazing boxer with HOF trajectory and is now up against a skilled behemoth that recently learned to throw thunder in his shots. If Usyk wins, he is legendary.

Fury does not hit harder than Joshua. If that was the case, he should of really decked and stopped a miles past his peak Chisora.

I don't think Usyk is going to be intimidated by the power of Fury. It is Fury's skills, specifically his inside game and rough house tactics 'Which are the biggest challenge for Usyk'.

Tyson Fury is the favorite. But none of his recent fights including Wilder, have any carry over into this fight.

When Tyson Fury faces Usyk, it is the first time since Kiltschko that he will be facing skill for skill another elite level fighter.

Wilder is a great fighter I rate him very highly, but technically skill for skill he is not a elite level fighter. And both Whyte & Chisora are miles outside their peak, even at their peak? Skill for skill, they are not elite level fighters.

Usyk has had the best preparation coming into this fight. He fought two back to back 12 round fights with Anthony Joshua.

Who people may mock but, from mid-long range he is a very capable boxer who hits with more power than Tyson Fury.
