I go back to the middleweight days of Benn Eubank and co. There were bigger fights then, but couldnt match the money these boys get now. Imagine Benn Eubank 2 now at Wembley. Would be absolutely off the scale.

Aye that's it like. The heavyweight big fights always have that cash pull. Plus 2 world wide stars in their own right. Both on the back of some defeats. Would be one to watch IMO.

Boxers go into training camp 2 months before a fight. Usyk looked supremely fit, whereas Tyson looked like he spent the last 2 months in McDonald's.

Usyk was well prepared for this fight, Fury was nowhere near fit enough to be getting in the ring and had a ridiculously high shorts waste line to hide the flab.

Just rewatching it and you're right, I appreciate a few extra pounds are beneficial and he's ripped underneath the fat but he was carrying too much excess weight. Those massive love handles are only detracting from his performance.

Probably made little difference to the result but it was tight so who knows. Maybe Fury should try showing up in great shape for once and not just let his boxing do all the talking.
 
Pat McCormack looking a million dollars here. Proper class. Big step up to RDJ too.
