talkSPORT holding a phone in on the subject following his shenanigans yesterday.

People also pretty vocal on his past comments (I will fight for free... I want a half a billy). His contradictions have largely been unremarked on before, but I guess the accumulation effect is in play.

Lot of people saying they want Usyk to win.

Despite thinking he's a twat, i'd still pick him to beat Joshua and there are others who still pick him to beat Usyk, despite thinking he's a twat.

No problem with folk saying that they don't like the fella, just find it strange that this leads many folk to say he can't fight!

I think hearts are beginning to rule people's head

I know the posts you're referring to and they were a bit OTT, but no-one's done any of that on this thread, just pointed out his popularity has plummeted and he's came across as conning the public of late. That's also made a lot switch to favoring Usyk, and hoping he wins. Their behaviour and demeanors couldn't be more different, although Usyk has shown that he enjoys a bit of a wind up as well, albeit more lowkey.
He was acting more like his dad (often referred to as an embarrassment by many) in this presser, and seems a lot more triggered, certainly not his usual wind up with a smirk self.

Prior to the Ngannou fight, back at the start of last year, I'd have the fight against Usyk as being close, maybe just slightly in Usyk's favour. I think Fury's attitude, desire and physical ability to train and carry out a fight plan has changed since then though, and now have it more in Usyk's favour. I'm certainly not going to disappear from the forum though if Fury wins, as I've been wrong plenty of times before, and will be wrong a lot more times, this possibly being one of them.

He’s just been voted worlds sexiest sports star so there must be some who like him.

Might happen, but his behaviour's a separate thing and he's destroyed his former popularity by himself. I don't know if Usyk can win, but I want him to.
