I'd like to be wrong but I still don't think it happens on 18 May, and if it doesn't, it never will.

Hard to call this fight. I feel usyk fought more proper boxers recently so might help him more. I mean beating Josh x2 is good preperation.

Third time lucky...

Question for the folk back in the uk, is there a buzz for this fight? Is the talk of the pubs (that have managed to stay open these days) all bout Fury’s next fight?

If Fury gets past Usyk....and I think he will, he'll most likely retire (if he doesn't fight AJ). I think he's no longer motivated to get in the ring. That trilogy with Wilder took a lot out of Fury (and Wilder).

Nah. Only people with a preexisting interest in boxing have spoken to me about it. There was a flurry of messages after the last pull out (which were unfavourable to Fury) but it's gone quiet. Most British people I know want Usyk to win. I expect the PPV will do reasonably well if they stick with the three distributors, with most buys on Sky as it's the most straightforward and well known brand.

you are right if it dont happen in May the time will run out and the BS will get old very old just like the two fighters that they are --time waits for no one.

[57Blues]

the fight will draw people into the game that have been on the side lines for a long time it has that going for it. so for that and that alone hope that it happens. then Fury can fade away and Usick can fight two more times get a lose and adjust to what is left for him.

Put it this way, I know maybe 5 other people who are into boxing enough to care about this
