To be fair; I think both Usyk and Fury will be smashing the PEDs into them about now. Battle of the chemists too for this.

If someone had a gun to your head and said I'll ask you a question and tell you the honest answer, and by the way you'll be getting a bullet if you get this wrong - Are Usyk and Fury in the process of juicing right now.... everyone would be saying "Yes!!!"

Fury's already failed two tests. I give Usyk the benefit of the doubt,

In fairly predictable fashion reports in papers state Fury is holidaying in Saudi while Usyk is hard at work. I think Fury only had one slim opportunity to train his arse off to have half a chance. He’s just going to show up out of shape all over again. Or I guess not show up at all!

There's photos on Thomas Carty's insta of the two sparring. Fury doesn't look out of shape to me in the photos.

You can see on the instagram picture lower down the story that Fury looks like shit. Two months to go! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxin ... -Usyk.html

Just read this in an article, regarding Usyk’s sparring partners

“ They went on to reveal that one of Usyk's sparring partners is 6ft 10in, and weighs more than 20 stone.

While another is 6ft 8in, 18 stone, and fights from the southpaw stance to prepare for Fury's switch-hitting.L

Who’s that then?

Surely Zhang for the second one who’s a bit smaller than that but probably him

Antonio Mireles as the 6'10, 20 stone guy? Boxrec lists him at 6'9 and last fight he weighed 19 lbs 3 Oz. There's not many that are that tall and weigh that much. Zakhozhyi or Dychko? Who else is even 6'9 and above?

Jalalov as the 6'8 Southpaw? Boxrec lists him at 6'7 and last fought weighing 18 stone.

Just found this which I guess confirms it's Jalalov.

jalolo is a good one for him to spar with. very tall guy with good movement and long range game. if he committed himself to the pros he could be a top 5 hw. dykcho has a similar style to the move and flick fury too. same with zakozhi. though lower levels.

guys like mireles and zhang have different styles than that but could be usefull just to have massive guys putting it on you, for that version of fury.

carty is a decent partner for usyk

obviously it's hard to find a perffect match for either guy

They are sparring Valencia?? First I've heard of it

Def no gym there, maybe offices or they have commissioned a city centre space with no parking to set up a gym!

Tyson Fury guarantees he won’t pull out of Usyk fight again



“All this talk of Tyson Fury is scared and he doesn’t want to fight. Yes, it’s happening. Unless your man pulls out, it’s not [sic, it is] happening.

“The only person who will pull out is you guys [Usyk and his team].”

AJ and Hearn won't be available to bail Fury and Fwank out this time like they did in December to keep the money men happy. This fight has to happen no matter what or else (according to Fury) someone could get sued for breach of contract.

I've got a feeling Fury will announce an injury soon and push it back by a few months.

I think this happens now, though of course there's still time for a pullout, or for one of them to actually pick up a genuine injury.

I think it was probably a negotiated compromise.

Fury gets to be photo edited to look in a shape he hasn`t been for the last 9 years - they also make Furys usual under the armpit shorts to be around his waist (photo editing again to give him definition of a waist thrown in of course) ... and Usyk gets to look taller :clap:
