Rooting for Fury since the Klit bout. Nothing changed.

Tyson all the way. I don’t give a toss about his dad and barely pay him any notice, it’s not Tyson‘s fault he’s got a massively embarrassing Dad - on a sidenote, I reckon one of his biggest wins was surviving having a psychopath father like that.

And the game needs Fury Joshua at Wembley.

Usyk just doesn’t grab the public’s attention.

Uysk

I used to like Fury, but his blatant duck of Usyk initially and his behaviour afterwards soured me on him big time. Uusually I find Fury's antics part of the show and quite entertaining--there he just came across as a loud-mouthed, collosal prick. If he just said "I've let meself get out of shape, I'm not ready for a boxer of Usyk's calibre yet" then that would be fair enough. But he ducked Usyk, made every excuse under the sun and kept mouthing off.

Then, I just cant stand John Fury. It's not Tyson's fault he has the biggest embarassment in boxing as a dad, but it is his fault for keeping John Fury around. I would be so embarassed seeing my 65 year old dad acting like a chavvy 20 year old in public like that when I'm getting ready for a boxing match.

A lot of fans turned away from Fury, soon they'll be back.

Usyk all the way.

A Fury win will be bad for the sport of boxing. He and his entourage are scum bags - his father sticking his head on a young fella walking past was bad, Tyson Fury not condemning it speaks volumes. Similar situation to BJS son punching the opponent in the nuts before .. the morons find it funny & acceptable.
Fury winning will just encourage more moronic behaviour..

It's not a certainty who wins by a long shot, but I hope Usyk destroys Fury.

Canelo did the world a favour destroying BJS's face and retiring him,I'm really hoping the very classy Usyk repeats what Canelo did and rids us of the vile Fury family

The chances of this being a snorefest are high

The bill isn't good enough to spend £25 of my wife's money

If these arent huge bills stacked with quality fights then it's far too easy to get distracted by the fact it's in a police state with appalling human rights record

Usyk, it's better for boxing if the heavyweight champion is actually skilled and not another Valuev-type freakshow.

More than anything, I just want a fair result and a winner, I'll be super pissed if it's a dodgy decision or a draw, which seems to happen week in, week out in the sport these days.

Usyk
Classy individual.

The other guy. Not so much.

Honestly couldn’t care less who wins, I like both fighters. Usyk is a class act in and out of the ring and Fury away from the bravado of promoting a fight is a likeable character.

I'm rooting for Usyk, but to call Fury unskilled is stupid. He's very skilled

USYK USYK USYK

total respect for him and the way he conducts himself .

The only thing I ever saw fury do that was enjoyable was bashing the fook out of wilder in the 3rd fight apart from that I couldnt give a monkeys about him and his poxy family and hanger oners .

He's not though, he is extremely skilled.

I do not mind who wins now, I have changed my mind, I hope it's a great fight though. And John is quiet.

Fury, although I respect Usyk as a fighter and individual.

All the folk saying "Its not Fury's fault his dad's a d i ck " are miles off. He could easily ask him to bolt, or take a step back.

He's skilled but I don't think Fury has amazing boxing ability, I think his size does play a big part on his success. If he was 6'3" and 16 stone would he still be undefeated? He can switch hit, has decent movement for a big man and a good boxing IQ but his actual punches aren't anything special. He knows how to use his size too which is often key and mentally seems quite strong. A hard man to beat when he's on his game.

Agreed

If it was my dad, I'd tell him to tone it down because he's an embarrassment

very fair point re his size, and his skills looking particularly good as he is so big.

He won but I agree many saw it as a lucky win. But that is one fight. You cannot fairly judge a man's career in terms of "he has no skills" on one performance.

Something we can definitely agree on!

100% would be golden, absolute joy.

When I said 'after', I ment after the fight, I don't want any excuses from Tyson, just a good fight.

Yeah I wouldn’t read too much into that. Fury is one of those fighters that performs when he is focussed and up for the fight, I honestly think he thought it was a foregone conclusion he would win and his sloppy performance showed and he ended up looking bad. But would have Muhammad Ali have knocked Ngannou out, probably not, he often looked crap in those crossover type fights too.
