To face Usyk, not in a reverse limbo game in his back garden.
Do you expect Tyson to pull out again? Or is his leaner physique a sign that it's happening?
Does the dubious 10 million dollar fine dictate?

As I've said for years, only time I actually believe Tyson is fighting is about 5 seconds before the opening bell.

Be a uproar if it doesnt happen. i would say 95% it still does.
The only way i dont think it happens if Fury is shot to pieces and wants to avoid it get more money out of the AJ fight.
Thou any version of Fury vs AJ would still be a big fight you would think its less likely to happen iF Usyk easily beats Fury.

I can't see him not fighting, too much money and looks to have lost weight for it.

He will fight. Be mad not to, crazy money.
My big question is will he try fight long using his legnthnadvantage. Or inside using his weight advantage.
I honestly don’t know what I recommend for Tyson there.. probably a bit of both avoiding mid range..

I.ve not seen pics of him . To be honest lost all interest in him But if he has lost weight and looks in good condition you would have to assume he.s going for it . Dont think fines or talk of them will bother him . After all what shiek dib a doo doo gonna do about it when hes told to fook off were not paying . I.M A bit intrigued how is he gonna approach this fight sugar hills mauling and holding will be a hard task against this fella

I think he pulls out. I don't see him fighting Usyk. All that money isn't worth the loss to him when he has many millions in the bank already.

I almost did, but stopped to re-read the question - been filling out important forms this week and having to read stuff carefully
won't last

I reckon he'll try some klitschko ring size etc tactics against Usyk in the days running up to the fight. everything he can.

no worries, I wasn't having a go. was just looking at the poll numbers and the responses here and wondering!
Fury's looking like he's in good shape this time and I'm sure they'll come up with something for Usyk. can't wait to see this fight
(although it'll probably be a snoozing hugfest)

He will look like a right plumb if he doesn't, not sure he cares though 50/50 for me.

Tiny ring with loose ropes.

Usyk pinned against the loose ropes for 36 minutes, sucking on Giant Fury Haystacks' titties

I think he fights and I think he wins a close decision. I presume whatever the result there will be a rematch, it’ll probably take another year for them to fight a second time…

I won't believe it until I see Fury in the ring and the bell rings. I am anticipating Uysk vs Hrgovic. I hope I am wrong, though.

Shame really that this fella has gone from British hero to British clown , Just has well this skiek fella wants to dabble in boxing for now , because really if it was in the UK who would go , who would trust him to show up and book hotels buy tickets ect ect .
Guy needs to show up , fight , and get back some support, so he does'nt completly tarnish his legacy , if he has one that is . but above all distance himself from his idiot father , who i actually think is the biggest contributer towards the turn in popularity towards Tyson

Good point about the Saudi location papering over the cracks of his UK popularity slump. I actually think Tyson has turned out surprisingly well given what his Dad is like. No role model, but no recidivist either.

Question and I think a valid one considering the Ngannou fight. If this fight goes the distance, can you see any winner other than the Gypsy king - even if Usyk boxes his head off.
