Don't watch boxing anymore, it's just about money and hugging. Bring back the Tyson era, even though I hate him for what he did, at least he had fights. Try and hug Tyson, he'll bite you. Not great, but better than cuddling for 12 rounds.

UFC is where it's at.
 
These Saudi fights are hard to watch.

Live sport needs an atmosphere.
 
Glad that he battered him to be honest.

These crossover fights shouldn’t be happening with top boxers in their prime.

I'm tempted, though the location puts me off.

Biggest heavyweight fight since Lewis v Holyfield, plus, if Usyk turns up it could be a classic.

As long as Fury loses, I'll be happy.

Yep needs to be brought down a peg or two and I think Usyk is the one to do it.
 
Fury's family are a family of arseholes, nothing to do with ethnicity.

What kind of adult headbutts a young boy.

Have some f'in decorum
 
Cheers

Just watched a few videos, much a do about nothing, just like the first day of the sales!
 
I hope Fury wins.

He isn't perfect but on the whole he seems like a decent enough guy, some of his religious beliefs are a bit on the extreme for my taste but if that's what he believes then at least he's prepared to own it.

I also don't have an issue if Usyk wins he comes across very well and is a top fighter.

It's 50/50 if I'll be able to watch it at the moment.

Nah because he’s a muppet.

Might be true, but thought a United fan from Manchester might've been cut some slack for that.

And let's be honest it's a muppet's game, there's an art and a beauty to it, but is is barbaric, you train for months and months to get yourself in tip-top condition so you can knock your opponent out, and then it's in the lap of the Gods whether you paralyse your opponent, or worse if you throw the perfect punch.

Sorry, you've got to be a bit of a muppet to want to even get into the ring in the first place knowing that you or your opponent might be dead in a few minutes, sod the money, not much use to you if you're 6-foot under.
 
Takes an incredible level of dedication to reach the very top but those who makes it can make life changing money for themselves and their families.

I guess you know the risks going in and the art of the sport is to protect yourself at all times and not get hit.
 
Still waiting for somebody to explain why they dislike Fury so much, him being a muppet doesn't cut it, nor does his family being beep beep beeps.

When you factor in Manchester United it should be well he's a bit of a beep beep, but he's one of us. Surely?

The fact he's a known drugs cheat?

The fact he's ducked his way out of numerous fights. People want to see the big fights made and he ducked AJ at every turn when they both had the belts and were unbeaten. He's waited Usyk out for a long as possible. Always discussed retiring. His CV is laughably poor for the amount of time he's been in boxing.

Being involved in the most boring heavyweight title fight in history?

The fact he's lost at least 3 fights but has been protected?

His Dad being a moron and a bully?

Comparing homosexuality to peadophilia?

His sexist statements and saying he would hang his sister for behaving in certain ways?

His statements on transgender people and likening it to beastiality?

I like Fury the guy away from boxing when discussing mental health. His interview with Neville is fantastic but the persona he puts on around boxing is irritating.

Yeah but apart from that ... LOL

Cheers didn't know a lot of that
 
Didn’t see it but sounds like the judges got the decision right.

I wonder if Fury will go for the rematch or just call it a day.
 
I've seen highlights and read various reports, all of which suggests it was the right result.

Fury was saved by the bell in the 9th. If he'd had another minute to go, he'd have been on his back.
 
Result was spot on. I had it 6-6 but the 10-8 round decided it.
 
Fury saying he probably lost the scorecard because of the Ukrainian war. What a joke he is.

Glad he got beat and sure he would lose the rematch as well.

I think Fury comfortably wins the rematch. The only reason he lost yesterday was the clowning around in rounds 1 and 2. Doesn't do that next time he wins the fight. He started off 2-0 down being silly.

That’s probably one of the reasons why I don’t think Fury would win the rematch - Usyk seems laser focused whereas Fury is just a pillock before fights and during some of the time.
