News Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Undisputed Heavyweight title fight is set to take place in Saudi Arabia on May 18

[Frode Falch]

Yes, the Saudis definitely don't play. Fury should probably read up on Sharia Law over there and understand that they do public executions. Mass executions of up to 200 people per year. That's not even counting the assassinations that occur behind-the-scenes.

Okay? So that means that Fury, a UK citizen could be kidnapped and public executed by law, because he wont do a fight.

That dont sound stupid at all..

Stranger things have happened to foreigners in Saudi. Just look at their human rights record.

Fury's best win is Wilder that was easily beaten by Parker. Wilder has a career of knocking out cans. I mean AJ made quick work of Wallin too and Fury struggled with him. Nganou was a questionable win.

Fury is probably just looking to pick up the big pay day here and run with it. I'm not even sure he actually believes he can beat Usyk from what I've seen.

As much as I hate Fury I use to think he can beat Usyk but the blatant fear he’s showing proves me wrong (that cut is 100% photoshopped)

The cut isn't photoshopped. I thought so at first too. He showed it up close on video yesterday. You could clearly see the stitches and the swelling underneath.

I saw no swelling at all, for a cut that big he looks like he’s able to see out of it just fine, I just don’t put anything past him to pull shit out of his ass to avoid a fight.

There's considerable swelling over his eye down to his upper eyelid. You can also clearly see that the cut was stitched up. Apparently it required 11 stitches to close that gash. I agree that he's not to be trusted but the evidence is sufficient here to believe him for once.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Maybe. Usyk's record proves that he was traveling around world boxer without fear to fight vs local tickets sellers in their area.
So not likely Usyk will pull out somewhere.. .
What he does have to loss? He already is ower the hill HOF material.

It was a typo. It should’ve read ‘usyk isn’t gonna pull out’

I figured it was just a typographical error. When the bad news broke about Fury getting injured Usyk just laughed at the situation and continued his sparring. He probably figured that naturally it was going to be rescheduled. He's a man on a mission.

 

[MMALOPEZ]

He doesn't want to play games with the Saudis. Unless he wants a black bag over his head and a sword to his neck. His con artistry might work anywhere else in the world but not in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There's capital punishment for stuff like that.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Exactly. You might end up imprisoned, tortured (flogging, etc), or even killed. These people don't discriminate. They've killed members of their own royal family. Dozens of foreigners are publicly executed every year but the majority are Saudi citizens. They have literally killed people over tweets that they found offensive.

This was a couple days after he suffered the cut, either he’s got Wolverine healing powers or he’s full of it, Vitaly had a similar cut and his eye was swollen black for an entire week

It's only been a little over 48 hours since he got cut. You can still see noticeable swelling on that eye. The reason it puffed up yesterday is because he'd just gotten it stitched.

terrible take ... terrible comparison ... fury took wilder's soul throughout 3 fights .. wilder vs parker was nowhere near the same guy .. not to mention he's much older now .. wallin is another pointless comparison .. he sparred with joshua so joshua knew his skills and he's also older and kinda washed .. ngannou is a total aberration .. I guarantee fury wipes the floor with him in a rematch assuming he comes in fired up and in shape .. he now has tape on him to prepare .. ngannou is fkd in a rematch

 

[Culombo]

fury isn't afraid of anybody .. the guy is just mentally off .. he'll fight you and beat your ass if his mind is right .. who knows the ups and downs the guy has .. people forget about his mental issues .. it's no joke for anyone who knows anything about that

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

For those that still don't believe the cut is real. Here is Turki Alalshikh sitting right next to Fury. He's only a foot away. They're both in Riyadh. The cut has already been verified. No, this isn't a deepfake video. It's a screen from their livestream together yesterday on the MMA Hour.

 

[r-harper-1]

Usyk isnt gonna pull out. Id imagine this is all about fury.

Then They shouldn’t say if either fighter pulls out it’s a 10 m penalty…..They should say if fury pulls out it’s a penalty

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

What a bummer was looking forward to this.

Fury had competitive fights with Wilder and was almost knocked spark out by Wilder. He beat Klitschko in one of the worse HW championship bouts I've watched in twenty years of following the sport. I'm tired of hearing how great Fury is with a razor thin resume and ducking credible opponents over the years.

Fury has wasted everybody's time the past two years by fighting Derrick Chisora and Nganou.

We will probably be hearing the excuses when Usyk does a number on Fury that he wasn't prepared and all the rest of it. I cant wait to see this Fury hype put to bed.

Look at his fitness!

Damn. He looks great here. If only he got into this kind of shape for every big fight.
