Is Fury stepping over the top rope on May 18th?

i've no idea how this pans out but I do think we'll see the best version of Tyson in terms of prep. Whether he has declined, is to be seen. He has always surprised us though and overcome a lot so I am just intrigued. I hope it is a classic. Usyk is brilliant.

I reckon with a friendly ref that Fury can hit and hold his way to a win, he is so much bigger

he is, Usyk will be hard to get hold of though, so elusive

TNT have started promoting the fight heavily now for the PPV with adverts all over their programmes, I'm still not convinced this takes place until the 1st bell rings

[SeanBrennan]

I think many of us are cautious here, I really hope it does happen though! What's people's predictions if it does go ahead?

[Grilling Machine]

Fury after mauling Usyk until he's tired enough for Fury to outbox him in later rounds to edge it. But I hope Usyk neutralises those tactics to win.

thanks for sharing mate. I can see so many different scenarios here!

[dookus]

I think Usyk will hammer Fury, and much earlier than expected, as inactivity and lifestyle catch up with him. But I've been wrong about Fury several times before...

[mike john]

usyk is a level above fury, in every regard. as others have noted, furys prospects rest on the bias of the ref. if tyson can get away with draping his bulk over the smaller man all night, then its not only usyk that will be in for a tough night, but the fans as well, as it will make for an awful spectacle. hopefully the referee does the job he's there to do, and we see a boxing match.

Daily Mirror have Krassyuk saying they've got Hrgovic on standby.

[olij999]

For me, this one depends on the ref. If the ref allows Fury to cling on like a romantic octopus and push his weight onto Usyk like Klitschko was allowed to against Povetkin, then that could tire Usyk out in the second half and Fury could win a decision. But if Usyk is allowed to box, I think he could stop him as Fury could well be shot now. I have been wrong so many times, though, that people may be well advised to pile in on Fury, whatever the odds...

[Ezzard]

Fight will take place. I can only imagine an Usyk win. He may even stop Fury. But I hope Fury wins.

I'm a fan of both men.

I'm the opposite. Hope Usyk, expect Fury by 2 or 3

[Contendeh]

I voted that he will show up this time. I will not fully believe it until the 18th.

[tonyevs]

Unfortunately we still see referees who are biased to one boxer in a fight.

But hopefull we get an honest referee .. in which case I see Usyk winning; most likely via a Fury disqualification.

[margaret thatcher]

for the longest time this was 60-40 fury for me, but i really do wonder if he's started to lose it, beyond just not being up for his last fight. now a 50-50 and actually more interesting. yes fury will be there and im really excited for the fight, undisputed finally

[jamesmcdonnell]

I make usyk 55-45 favourite.

it is very tight isn't it. I am really looking forward to it!

[jamesmcdonnell]

Samen here, may well be a stinker, but the anticipation will be great.

[Ezzard]

Agree...

I think it will be exciting because it will be tense. But the action will be limited.

I suspect Usyk will take over in the middle rounds and put it on Fury late.

[si7dog7]

Getting close now!!
3 weeks to go.

We need to see dat guy from “Current scene” Boxrec to announce.

“It’s Fightweek”

Apologies if I got wrong forum.
You know who you are fella

[deadpan]

I think it will be the first time Fury is in a fight where it is clear that he isn't winning. If so, I'm fascinated to see how he responds to that. Reverting to an inspired plan B or seeking to get disqualified out of frustration, who knows...

Fury has always brought mote than Plan A and B into a fight.

A quality boxing brain, the question is whether he can impose it

He left B, C & D in Morecambe v Ngannou.

Plan A will work far better v Usyk than Ngannou

You may well be right. My point was he had next to no plan versus a fecking novice. He was so piss poor that folk thought Francis was actually good.
