Can anybody explain this for me?

I thought it was God Save the King when Buffer introduced it as God Save the Queen. Then I looked it up and was like, holy crap, it is called God Save the Queen. I could of sworn I've heard it as God Save the King numerous times in various fights. Any UK fans that can clear that up?

The original title of the song was God Save the King, because there was a king on the throne when it was written. But it changes, depending on the sex of the monarch. So it is God Save the King again now.

It's God Save the King now there's a King rather than Queen.

I thought I heard he announced it right though.

The Ring title thing was weird. I noticed right through fight week they never referenced the Ring belt. Not at weigh ins or at the arrivals. Then on fight night they announced Fury as the holder.

But I'm pretty sure the belt was being held up by Usyk's team.

I'm pretty sure Fury was announced as Ring champion before he came on stage at the final presser and at the weigh in. Not before he got on the scales, but before he came out onto the stage.

I might go back and look. It definitely registered with me that they weren't referencing it but I may have just missed that bit.

Well, it's been God Save The King since the Queen died...

Pretty sure I've heard it as God save the queen. But it could be the Mandela effect.

I just watched the undisputed HW title fight again and it reminded me of something that baffled me in the lead up to the fight.

At the final press conference, the weigh in, and again in the ring before the fight, Fury was introduced by Michael Buffer as the holder of the Ring title. In fact, Fury relinquished the Ring title in 2022 and Usyk won it in his rematch with AJ. The first time Buffer did that I assumed it was a lapse in memory from a guy getting on in years. But when he did it twice more, without anybody correcting him, it made me wonder.

Did I miss something? Did Fury create another bogus title for himself, to go with his fantasy lineal belt?

Buffer also said Usyk was 10lbs heavier than he is.


Guy is old and crap at his job,
