Bought this, rare… anyone know the run order?

I really wanna see Jai vs briadis and main event… but I am also keen to see Sanchez vs kabayal.

Would like to see Moses and nyika… can’t say I care much about the Cordina fight.

Also predicted times ect…

I’ve got a bet on. It will probably just go on council tax and British Gas if it comes in unfortunately. Dunno how old you are but I haven’t half changed in my 30s. So it goes

Had a speculative punt on Usyk 4-6.
Maybe Fury can solve the puzzle. I doubt it though. This isn’t a one-dimensional Deontay he’s in with.

Have you gone over for it? If so, have a great time. It's hard to believe this fight is finally happening.

I've loved and followed boxing for over 40 years and I genuinely can't pick this one. Obviously a prime Fury would win but he was so rubbish last time out. Is the weight loss due to a proper training camp with high level sparring or just eating less?

A 90% Fury beats Usyk. The latter will come like he always does - at his best. Will be placing my Betfair gamble (not big money) after the first minute of round one.

Yes, I'm here. Equal mix of Brits and Ukrainians from what I've seen so far. All Fury fans have got total respect for Usyk, they realise how hard a night's work he is for anyone.

I hope it lives up to the hype.

Fantastic. What a once in a lifetime moment. Treasure every second of it, and please report back. Lovely to have you posting back in here as well, by the way.

This is a fight Boxing really needed otherwise it risked being pushed to one side by YouTube. Win or lose tonight, both fighter's legacies will be enhanced for taking the fight. Its a fight I never thought would happen.

Fury looks nervous, but a good nervous
Am sure he will be the sharper for it.

With the exception being John Fury's headbut, I have really enjoyed the build up this week.

The press conference was revealing. Very low key but with a slight edge. It was clear that both fighters have had enough of talking and now want to just get in the ring.

50 in December. Scary stuff! I’ve not bet for years but I’ve a feeling that to operate at the very top level you should (in theory) need to be a lot more professional than Tyson Fury. I’ve not checked, but possibly this will be the first time he’s faced someone with a top line amateur background. I’ve got a feeling Usyk’s skill level might be a bit of a shock to the system!

today I'm wondering if Usyk is slightly overrated cos of his cruiserweight achievements and the first AJ win. When I think of the Dubois, Chisora and 2nd AJ fight, I think this may be Furys night.

Still Fury is only 6 and a half months removed from a truly awful performance. Surely any other heavyweight in the world top 30 would have done a better job on Ngannou that night.

Aside from the money. Fury kind of in a lose lose situation.

He has dismissed Usyk as too small for a long time - to the general public view, he is 6`9" and almost double the size of the little Usyk. And if he can beat the ATG biggest punching heavyweight of all time Deontay Wilder then Usyk is an easy fight for him .. so anything other than a dominant win is another poor display.

If Fury loses to Usyk ... he is right there with Herbie Hide.


Fury definetly looks very nervous,. Whether thats because he knows Usyk is going to be his biggest challenge - or because he has found out in the gym the Ngannou display wasn`t just an off night.

Hoping its a good clean fight and we don`t have another controversial end to all this.

Well, if you discount Olympic gold medalist Wlad Klitschko, sure, Fury’s never fought a top amateur.

Yeah, that's a good point, is it an all male arena? Is there a bar?

If you get invited to a pre-fight event on an expat compound there is plenty of booze. Otherwise dry.
