Comments Thread For: Cross his heart: Usyk-Fury I is Fight of the Year

[crimsonfalcon07]

I don't understand, why would the camp of Fury have objected to Usyk having that cross with him in the corner?

They're both Christians, that's what they say, so why be against someone praying or touching a cross? Fury could've done the same.

I'm not sure God really cares about who wins in sport, but I could be wrong.

I've seen some guys win fights and they didn't seem to be nice guys or believers, but they won. Some even renounced Christianity, which I find so wrong, and turned to Islam, and they still won some fights.

I don't hate other faiths, but as a Christian, you don't renounce and deny the Lord.

They were trying to claim it was an inhaler or something to help Usyk cheat. Takes one to know one after all, and Fury has been caught in the past cheating. But it was investigated and is just a cross.

Having Fury-Usyk as "Fight of the Year" clearly illustrates just how underwhelming 2024 was as far as boxing is concerned. Was it a significant fight? Yes. But FOTY?? cmon now.........

Don't agree with KO of the year. Fight of the year had ebb and flow.

Glad I'm not the only one that did not see this as fight of the year. Other fights where both fighters were dropped or hurt in massive exchanges clearly were better. If it is on TV, no matter who the boxers are, they should qualify too. THIS is the fight of the year here in my opinion: PROBOXTV - Fight of the Year Candidate The Hernandez/Garcia fight at 35 minutes in.

In terms of historic fights, I guess the other option was Beterbiev Bivol, but I think Usyk Fury I topped that fight.
