Do you think Fury feels threatened by Usyk?

[-Kev-]

In Fury’s interviews and also that 1 video he made after the fight, he has been doing some extra trash talk that I don’t think I have seen him do in a long time. I wonder if this is confidence or he’s trying to get himself up for this fight while also trying to get under Usyk’s skin to throw him off his game a little?

He thrives under that kind of athmosphere, the bad blood. He's had it against all of his major opponents. But if Usyk doesn't bite now he probably won't at all. Fury is just a nasty prick to be around up untill the fight is over. Few would want to be around him and his shtick.

I think Fury will win but the way he’s talking, makes him look like he really respects Usyk so much that he feels the need to trash talk his opponent. Like he’s trying to hype himself up so that he can be up for the challenge.

Makes sense. People talk about Fury's mind games on his opponents but part of it is probably for his own mind as you say.

I cant say for sure if fury thinks he can beat Usyk. Of course you have to believe you can beat anyone or your in the wrong sport. I think fury can beat Usyk, but that dont mean fury thinks it. Theres no reason for fury to think he hasnt got a chance against Usyk though, although Usyk beating Josh may have given Fury doubts, as Fury might have doubted if he himself could have beat Josh himself.
But I'm confident fury thinks he can beat usyk, o therwise hed stay retired

- - 40 yr Povetkin knocked Whyte dead cold inside 5 rounds.

Not a good look for Fury who may have won the Deyonce low hanging fruit series, but got terribly beat up for his troubles.

He's turned his back on career purses 2-3x vs AJ after shooting off his gob, so Usyk just AJ 2.0. Already backed off fights he promised those MMA guys. About as reliable as a 2 dollar watch and twice as ugly.

He literally took Wilder to court trying to fight AJ. I swear you guys put more effort into hating Fury than he does into life in general.

Hill looks at Usyk as a challenge to add to the Kronk heavyweight legacy. Fury feels his pockets are thin given he was guaranteed 2 fights for 200 million vs AJ and probably a trilogy like Wilder. He gives up the ring to go after it a 3rd time as in Ali. I think that shows his intentions.

Team Kronk - Lennox, Vlad, Fury, ?

Yeah I mean as a fan of both it's really weird to see AJ critics say AJ ducked Fury, and Fury critics say Fury ducked AJ. It's as if everyone ignores that AJ vs Fury was going to happen and Wilder stopped that fight from happening by using is rematch clause.

They're like troubled children with processing issues, the way they just ignore such readily available public information. The legal battle was well documented on here too. It wasn't like it was a secret.

That's Fury's MO. He does this because it's part of the fight. For him, the fight began as soon as Usyk beat Joshua. Now he will try psychological warfare to gain the edge over Usyk. He's done this to as many opponents as he can. I noticed this when he fought Klitschko, and everything outside of the ring was a fight and battle. I always think back to the infamous sauna showdown. This is Fury being Fury, IMO.
