🥊 Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk (18 May) 🥊 discussion and prediction topic

[pawel7777]

I think such an important, unification fight deserves its own topic.

The legendary fight for the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion is only a little over 2 weeks away. Both fighters are undefeated in their professional boxing careers and both put their belts on the line, which are as follows:
WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, The Ring

So far, Fury is a favourite but only a slight one with odds as follows:

Fury: x1,84
Draw: x16.0
Usyk: x2.00

Feel free to share your thoughts and predictions.

I was ready to put my money on Fury, but having some second thoughts after his rather poor performance against Ngannou.

If someone between them won, I guess it would be Usyk. But this type of match is difficult to know who can possibly win. Fury is good while Usyk is also good. They are both undefeated and fighting like a beast, especially Fury. But I will for go Usyk. It will be a good match to watch.

I'm sorry but we already have a thread about this unification fight by @JollyGood [ POLL ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK 18th MAY 2024 re-scheduled. It's just buried several pages as there are a lot of gambling topics.

And maybe one reason is that there are no promotions whatsoever about this important fight. This is a unification in HW division and not sure when was the last time we had it.

Thanks for the link. I searched like first 5-6 pages and got nothing, so assumed there isn't one, which seemed a bit odd.
And yeah, given how big the fight is and how many belts are on the line there doesn't seem to be as much hype and promotion as there should be. I'm getting way more news/feeds about the Bivol Vs Beterbiev fight, which is like a month from now. I guess they've used up all the marketing money before the originally set date.

Anyhow, locking this topic now as there's no need to have 2 of them.
