    Is Fury-Usyk a 50-50 fight?

    I used to think the undisputed matchup between the current belt holders would be a toss up, and that Usyk's speed and timing would be a good counterweight to Fury's size and tactical smarts. But since the Dubois fight every pundit is proclaiming that Usyk's big weakness has been exposed, he really doesn't cope well with big shots to the body, with the view that every future opponent will target that weakness.

    Fury is not exactly a clean fighter anyway and has a "by any means necessary" attitude to the sport. Given that, has the balance now tipped heavily into Fury's favour? Or can we assume from Usyk's battles with big punchers like Dubois and AJ that he can survive any onslaughts that Fury might unleash?

    Usyk will do everything he can to not fight Fury, watch and see. The pattern of behavior is quite clear!
    • 50/50 (not good enough for Usyk).
    • 60/40 to the winner from Usyk (never been done before in the sport of boxing 141 year history).
    • 70/30 counter from Fury.
    • Usyk accepts but with *'s like Fury having to take a political stance with £1million donated to Ukraine war effort. +Every day of delay has to pay 1% from the purse to Ukrainian people. + Rematch clause of 60/40 going to winner which has never been done before in boxings 141 year history.
    Meanwhile =—>

        I like underdogs, and Fury is not a likable character. Nonetheless, I dont Usyk beating Fury if he looks like he did last night.
