A determined performance and a show of his real personality; I think he's still very saleable.
It was a much improved performance, and acting like a prize dildo works for a lot of fighters people will pay to see get beat- Broner made a career out of it, still is...

:TU:
He has never fought anyone near as good as Uysk.
It's easy to look good against a one trick pony with no defense, or a shop worn champ who never pulled the trigger over 12 rounds, but Uysk is a whole 3 levels above that.
You can say that Usyk hasn't fought anyone nearly as good as Fury. That's why it needs to happen.

Usyk will definitely fight him. Fury just needs to come out of retirement. Again.

and wallin is basically a poor man's usyk and still cut him to shreds


even though he'd rightfully be favoured, fury would still have his hands full with usyk. people focus on the size difference, but fury's had some of his biggest problems vs guys who are hardly that big at hw
Long time ago, Fury is an intelligent fighter and learnt those lessons well

lol, wallin was the last guy he fought before wilder. fury was a 10 year pro with like 30 fights

fury doesnt look nearly as slick and skillfull when he's facing guys with some quickness and mobility

Great to hear Danny Williams get a mention in the post match AJ breakdown. It was really stunning stuff.

Where was Hearn or Robert Garcia to step in at the end and get AJ off the mic? Or even Sky. He could have said anything and went on in meltdown mode for ages.

Hearn hide in the corner. Are they too afraid to say anything? To allow him fornicate belts out of the ring and go on like that was not good, he stole Usyks moment but worst of all he really made a total spectacle of himself and tarnished a fine performance.
