Fight is in Saudi. They are putting up the money. That is how it will be for most big fights for the next few years.

The stacked February card with Beterbiev vs Bivol II is also that time.

Pick 'em fight, but I got Fury. He is going to come in in WAR mode this time. He doesn’t get caught like last time IMO, and wins a rather comfortable decision.

Wow really?

Ok ill shut up now haha

The market is a world market now. Not just US/Americas. Europe/Asia/Middle East etc.

US still is the biggest market in terms of $$$. But Saudis don’t give a fuck about that.

They are not doing it for profit, but rather for prestige.

The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) has today informed all relevant parties that Dennis McCann has returned an adverse finding following an anti-doping test conducted in advance of his upcoming bout.

Mr. McCann’s scheduled fight next Saturday will no longer take place, as the relevant parties investigate the matter further. No further comment on this will be made at this time.


Does Fury have any chance in this rematch or will Usyk just dominate again?

I thought Usyk would beat Joshua much easier second time round but it was Joshua who surprisingly put on a better performance so am wondering if Tyson will do the same maybe?

It’s like the Battle of Balaclava all over again!

Cossack vs a Briton!

Yeah, Usyk has got to be the favourite.

If you want to put Fury’s case. Fury was actually 5-2 up on all judges scorecards after 7 rounds, before he got caught. He can have success vs Usyk.

I think he will come out aggressive this fight, like he did vs Wilder II, and go for the finish. That could leave him vulnerable to counters and may get stopped himself.

But, I always notice Usyk fights better when he is on the front foot. He is worse going backwards. Even Chisora gave him a few problems that way. If Fury can get Usyk going backwards, and land a few of those uppercuts, maybe body shots, and work on the ropes. He has the power to hurt Usyk.

I think Usyk is favourite, but Fury a live dog.

And it will be interesting, all the way.

Usyk is a better boxer than Wilder so I don’t believe this aggressive style will matter.

Wilder has zero foot work and ring IQ so that’s why Fury was so successful with his game plan in the rematch.

5-2 is crazy before he got caught I gave Fury 3 rounds max 4,5 and 6 if I remember it right.

Then again one of these judges in Saudi also thought Joshua beat Usyk in the second fight so shouldn’t be too surprised.

I think it will be interesting if Fury does come out aggressive as Chisora did that and had success for a while if I remember that fight right. Until he either gassed and or Usyk just figured him out.

Quite looking forward to this it’s legit intriguing how it’s going to go down.
