Somebodies in for a shock......

I reckon Fury will exploit Usyk weakness in shots around belt line that he was lucky to get ruled as illegal blows in earlier fights w Dubois and AJ (although he beat them both convincingly).

I expect Fury to go after that same spot repeatedly and do lots of roughing up but this is a really intriguing fight.

Let's be honest Fury almost never fights anyone who is good. When was the last time he actually fought someone who can box (as opposed to brawl)? The answer is Wallin and he struggled against him. Fury is just being Fury. It's only his fans who think he is the next Muhammad Ali. Even Fury doesn't believe it.

No matter how good you are - you lose skills the less you fight quality opposition. Next up Fury fights Usyk - good luck with that one! Expect to see maximum hugging and leaning from Fury.

I think AJ goes through Ngannou easily. Joshua is always fighting decent fighters and he always stays in shape. Ngannou will just be a day at the office for him. Only danger for AJ is if Ngannou can take his best shots. Nagnnou also has a slight reach advantage which I'm sure not many of AJ's opponents have...Still think AJ blitzes him. He will win in 6 rounds
