This fight seems weird.

I'm expecting a quite unmotivated fury to win but look unimpressive vs Whyte and then everyone will start stroking off over Usyk saying he will easily beat Fury.

That's just the feeling I have.

Frankie 5hit show Warren confuses me. He has been constantly saying this is the Fury show and Whyte isn't worth anything yet is fuming that he isn't pulling his weight and possibly damaging the pull of the event. He's also constantly made Whyte out to be a bit of a useless bum yet he is going to demand respect put on Fury for beating him.

Fury is a far superior Boxer to Whyte and Whyte should be really doing his bit to push this event but Fish eyes wants to belittle Whyte, mock him as a Boxer, run to the WBC to get his percentage dropped and then he wants him to act professionally and will demand Fury gets held as a super hero for beating him.

And if this event doesn't do as well as Frank and Bob claim its going to do it won't be because Whyte didn't turn up to 1 solitary presser it's because its a priced PPV with one of the worst undercards to a world title fight I've ever seen. If anything the controversy Whyte is displaying has made for lots and lots of media coverage in itself.

Warren's undercard has done way more damage to this event than Whyte has.

It'll be Frank making the statement, and that statement will be something like "we regret to inform that Whyte has pulled out of the fight, so Fury will now be fighting Kamil Sokolowski"

Frank spent money he does not have to put this show on, so I'm not surprised at the undercard.

But as a promoter he should have AT LEAST convinced Yarde to knock over a complete nobody as chief support just to get a name on the card, I'm sure he could have convinced Yarde the exposure would be worth it to do it on the cheap.

We know. You tell us all nearly every single day.

Fury is losing a lot of weight and will have his trainers on. Not the statement that Frank was alluding to.

Well not sure what Warren is talking about they have seen Fury before and his last major outing in Manchester had to cancel a scheduled Klitschko rematch due to poor ticket sales . Not sure what this would do without Fury having a belt and Whytes success over in the U.K ? Take either fighter out of the equation and they would have to scrap this event before tickets went on sale neither would sell out Wembley on their own which makes that 80/20 split look ridiculous .

Should Fury impress he can win over the U.K fans and bring him closer to A.Js solidified fanbase , if he loses it will be disastrous for him with all the hype of how easy he should defeat a far overmatched opponent that is perceived outside the U.K . Moving away from casual fans , this is Furys second most dangerous opponent in the U.K next to A.J so a loss isn’t that surprising,Whyte will turn up and Warren is going to have some nervous moments at ringside .

If Fury has attempted to bring back his old Riddler style, and has dropped weight to 250 + pounds? I think he has increased the likely-hood of getting himself sparked out.

There is a reason why Fury transitioned into Kronk Fury. There is a reason why he is more comfortable at 270 + pounds. Now I could accept Fury coming in at 260 + pounds.

But I just think it is a wrong tactical move, dramatically changing his physiology for this fight. Some fighters are better off with weight on them, when they drop weight it can weaken them.

You have seen this with Chisora & Ruiz Junior of late. Chisora was ****** out by Whyte, due to over-training and his body not being able to cope with its lack of reserves. And Ruiz Junior, has gone backwards since he has lost some of his blubber.

It is just the way some fighters are, making dramatic changes to their lifestyle and training can shock the body too much. Ricky Hatton was only beaten in his comeback fight due to this factor.

I have been backing Tyson Fury 100%, but if he had made what I think? Is a wrong tactical move in preparation 'Whyte is looking in a by far more stronger position'.

These are the pressures of being a world champion, you have to not be duped by the media 'And you have to make the right tactical moves'.

I do wonder, I have criticized Whyte's antics during this fight build up. I still want to see Whyte, push Fury about in the last press conference. Fury genuinely seems to think he is a bare knuckle fighter, when in reality? I honestly don't think he has ever had a fight outside of the ring 'This is not a insult, just what I think'. If Fury had ever had a fight outside of the ring, people would be popping up everywhere telling their story.

I just think Whyte or one of Fury's opponents should step to him outside the ring. I have no doubt that Fury will react. I am not undermining his ability, I just think his opponents are too subdued and controlled by Fury.

I am still backing Tyson Fury to win, and I am still disappointed with Whyte. I don't like what he has did during this build up.

Note: There have been reports that Fury has dramatically change is conditioning, this is what I am referring to here. I think this is wrong move, there is nothing really wrong with his conditioning. Fury is comfortable, and is enjoying his lifestyle as Kronk Fury. A fighter like Fury, need a element of comfort.

Tyson and Warren along with ‘smokin Bob’ have done everything they said they would and against one of the biggest hitting heavyweights of all time and on a come back trail against massive odds.Whyte is a decent fighter with a fight ending dig so Tyson will have to be at his best to get this job done.Whyte will be out to make a statement. Tyson should win a good fight but Whyte will win rounds and maybe even have Tyson hurt .
