Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk | PPV - 18 May 2024

[Loynesy]

It's interesting that The Times wrote today that Fury is prohibited from going to the US due to his links with Kinahan - it's been well known for a while but first time I've seen it published in mainstream media - they would only have done that with clear legal advice.

He has a much bigger issue if the FBI get more aggressive about it - they could seek a court declaration to ensure that anyone distributing US dollars to him is guilty of distributing funds to a potential criminal. That then nukes the US PPV. Strongly suspect that won't happen, but it's a risk for the promoters and the fighters if they are pricing in the US PPV into the fight revenues.

I still think he probably beats Usyk - but he certainly won't get into his head.

I don’t think it’s an issue - they already had his fight with Whyte on PPV in the US.

[Loynesy]

Much smaller scale fight and the media hadn't reported his ban in going to the US.

All it would take would be an
anti boxing Congressman to raise it. As I said earlier, strongly suspect it won't happen but it's a definite risk factor.

Sooner or later calling someone ugly, & the farmer always slaughters the rabbit and gap tooth comment in the end will get to you, Usyk will FEEL those insults for sure.

Don't worry Fury will increase the mind games to another level.


Joe Joyce said Usyk understands English pretty well.

Fury's insults are like those made by a small child. Uysk just dismissed him by turning his back on him and answering his phone.

I don't think either will wind the other one up. They both love competing too much.

The poll says Usyk points, interesting.

Usyk looks like GOLLUM

[Teddy's Toupee]

He looks more like the late Rik Mayall.

Could say he never beat Haye and hasn’t beat AJ yet..

He pulled out of the rematch against Klit.

When have facts ever got in the way of Fury`s version of things

It all seems very quiet on the Olexander Uysk vs Luke Fury front.

It means they're knuckling down and actually getting things done.

or that agreement where they cant announce anything or make hints until they've all signed off.

Hell don't we all doubt the big fights ever come off?
Boxing is famous for dragging out the most wanted fights. It is not odd to doubt they happen

Thanks. This is how I feel about this potential match up and tons of other possible big match ups in current, and distant times.

We were told that Uysk vs Fury would be announced before Christmas and, well, we now find ourselves in a period of silence and no announcement on the horizon.

Do we get a run down of the clip?
I can't watch 'ole fishe eyes' for more than 30 seconds without wanting to que up for a KSI/Logan Paul energy drink

Contract being sent out for a March date although the location and the pay-per-view cost has yet to be sorted out but it seems like both men will write their names on paper for fighting each other.

It is odd when the same poster made a daily post claiming Fury was too scared to fight. Egg on the face shortly.

Let's just hope he recovers from his elbow surgery in time.
