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

[The Gratest]

Ruiz jr is 6ft 2". Fury is 6ft 9". For a boxer who monopolises his height to great effect, I just don't see how Fury can motivate himself to take on a fighter who's even shorter than his wife.

Perhaps Paris can be Tyson's gatekeeper. If you can beat Paris then you're worthy of facing Tyson.

A life-sized cardboard cutout in each gym should suffice.
"If you are as tall as Paris, then you may fight The Gypsy King!".

We are just 8 days away from Fury-Usyk!

Imagine that was actually the case..

[tonyevs]

It was only last year Fury did his infamous deadline to face AJ .. knowing Furys ploys of avoiding risky fights (as later evidenced against Usyk) then that there is now a fact Mick

It’s a waste of time arguing with someone who believes Ruiz win over AJ isn’t worth mentioning and doesn’t see Wlad or Wilder as risky fights…

You living in the past Mick.
It was almost 8 yrs since Fury fought Wlad ... almost 5 since he first faced Wilder too.

Those risky fights were even before Ruiz beat AJ .. and even longer since AJ easily beat Ruiz in the rematch.

Live in the now Mick

18 months since Wilder 3. Are you saying Wilder is an easy fight nowadays?

[tonyevs]

One things for sure is that Wilder, no matter how crude he is .. no matter how he telegraphs his right hand. He never fails to send Fury to the canvas.

So I guess for Fury Wilder will always present a risk. For any other top heavyweight it's hard to say because Wilder hasn't fought any

I won’t say he’s an easy fight - but I would say he’s only a European level test.

He’s stopped everyone else he has fought and was champion of the world for years, mate….

Who even worth mentioning did he stop?

I think it's all been mentioned, debated etc to death on here so won't bother, mate.

[margaret thatcher]

mandatory mention that bermane stiverne and dom breazeale are still among the best 3 guys he's beaten in almost 50 fights

the power is obviously major, but jeeezus that is one padded win column

Wilder is practically a heavyweight Buck Smith .. without as many quality fighters on his record, mate

Intentionally trolling doesn’t suit you, stick to the unintentional, mate.

Can't find anything on yesterday's fight. We have been waiting forever for this fight, it finally comes and the media ignores it?
So who won, Fury or Usyk?

Sadly the Uysk fight didn't happen, but Fury had Wembley booked and was going to fight last night with or without Uysk as an opponent. Strange that there has been no news*. Presumably Fury won because no man born from his mother can beat him and all other opponents are just dossers and sausages.

*It was probably Chisora again

[margaret thatcher]

instead of a fight, fury and wilder held a joint 'night with', titled 'make love not war' where they made out with one another in front of a very hot and heavy crowd of supporters

word is that the next event might have andy ruiz added in for a 3 way

[big lennox]

Thankfully, we had the World Snooker Championship semi finals to watch instead, where all four opponents acquitted themselves so well, and delivered epic encounters. Proper sportsmen.

Meanwhile, Fury can't ever seem to agree terms with his closest competitors. With the exception of a couple of UK journalists, most fans, casuals and international journalists have lost interest in Fury, and lost confidence in his willingness to take part in meaningful fights where there is some jeapardy.

I think Dan Rafael's tweet reflects this shift in position.

So do you think he will have to drop down to an arena, like AJ, if he fights this summer? Presumably The Copperbox or York Hall if almost everyone has deserted him.

Will he even fight in July?

[mickey1975]

No idea, hence the ‘if’.
