fury has shown himself very capable of getting back to fitness after binging for long periods im sure he will be pretty sharp and do a good job but he still wont get back to where he was even a few years ago so will get found out against better opponents, but he wont care as hes mostly interested in the cash

I think Fury is shot and this might be the fight that really exposes it. If Makhmudov makes it physical and wears Fury out then he has a chance.

Somewhat telling that Fury fights this guy, and not anything of the two opponents that beat Arslanbek.

I didn't even know he lost twice, I thought it was only the one loss to Kabayel. If Fury's team chose Kabayel, that would be quite a tough fight for Tyson.

Commenting it here because they disabled the comments on the Conor Benn article (we all know why).

I hope the c*nt gets booed in and out of the ring.

Entirely possible.

Fury does not live the fighter's lifestyle and cannot just keep bouncing back indefinitely like he has been doing.

Makhmudov could be a very live dog in this one.

This is an intriguing matchup between two fighters who are on the decline.

There are several variables at play, specifically regarding Fury’s current weight and his PED/drug testing status for this bout. Additionally, Big Mak’s stamina remains a major question mark.

I expect Fury to push the boundaries of the rules; he has had points deducted in five separate fights and likely feels he has the establishment's support should the fight go to a decision. This gives him an unfair edge! However, both fighters are older now and face significant uncertainties. Fury seems to have lost some of his mobility, which could provide Big Mak—a puncher capable of ending a fight quickly—an opportunity to land a decisive blow. Big Mak's conditioning is a serous question mark these days.I like Big Msk early and Fury late.

If both were in their prime (ages 29–33), I would favor Fury by a much larger margin. Given their current forms, I only slightly lean towards Fury.
