No real irony here because the context is so different (no home cooking etc) but it really does seem like just yesterday that Big John was marching around in Germany shouting "The fights off!!!!" because of a "spongy" canvas iirc.

Here we go with the pre controversies. Bound to be 4-5 more before fight time

Let's hope they sort that out, and have a 20 foot ring.

1mm is nothing. 1cm would be different and an actual trip hazard

Obviously 1mm can make a difference at the highest level. Usyk is not known as someone complains for the sake of it or someone who plays mind games. So, I reckon that his complaint is genuine and germane.

I'd be more worried about horse hair.

Fair is fair. Fury complained about the ring vs klit 9 years ago. Now the shoe is on the other foot.

Usyk wants to be able to run around freely to tire Fury, without worrying about tripping in the process.

Sounds absolutely ridiculous.. Usyk gang creating excuses schmuses in case he can’t take a body shot
