    Any thoughts, I have backed fight not to go and also Usyk to win inside (with head but insurance)

    Reasoning Fury will have to jump on him early and if that dont work (which it could if he stays focused) the wheels could well fall off. Also just have this feeling that Fury knows he has the AJ fight to fall back on and will he be as motivated?

    Love to hear some of your views on how you see it, Shame the McCann (another PED failure) fight is off as really fancied McGrail to turn him over. I suppose we will have the same old dont know how it got in my system, it was dodgy eggs/beef or my drink was spiked.

    Love him or loathe him, he’s box office isn’t he?

    Not been following much boxing recently but it’s always hard to confidently predict anything when he’s involved. He can beat anyone on his day, you’re betting on his mental state as much as anything. Reminds me of Ronnie O’Sullivan in that regard, if his head isn’t in it then you’re taking a real risk with your money but if he really wants it and puts his mind to it he can do great things.

    Same with Fury but as you say, there are questions. Think you have to marginally favour Usyk but it will not be a massive shock if Fury pulls something out of the fire.

    Fury shouldn’t have come out of retirement the latest time. His legacy has gone down the pan. He lost to a non boxer and got then got schooled by Usyk
    at least the money will come in handy
    I really, really hope he wins as I do actually love him but I have my doubts

    some very good points I watched the arrivals and chats last night, Fury seemed focused and not a lot of playing around but (I will take this with a pinch of salt) he reckons he will come in at 21st. For me I am going for around 19st 10 . If he is 21st(one I was wrong again :scratch: ) clearly saying I am going after and early nights work.

    Just seen Fury getting taped up in preparation for tonight’s fight against Makhmudov.

    I’ve got less blubber than him – and I’m old and fat. I know that the Russian is very one dimensional, but all he has to do is avoid the haymakers and he’ll win this.

    Fury has already said he wants to fight Joshua next and is, in my opinion, taking Makhmudov far too lightly.

    Taken Makhmudov at 5-1.

    The ref has let so many dubious punches go from Fury: he should have been docked at least three points by now.

    Not that money talks in sport. 😏
