    Going to a ‘Boxing with Steve Bunce’ radio show recording at Leeds Irish Centre on Tuesday, should be interesting as Bunce is many things but not boring.

    9 days away to Fury vs Usyk Undisputed heavyweight championship of the world - 8 titles on the line. Prepare your fight party now. Who you got winning and how? That Saudi promoter Turki alal Shikh is changing game with serious investments into boxing - he great. Tune into the Press Conference next week and weigh-in.

    Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Fight Promo is excellent.

    Be lucky if this fight goes ahead again with the antics of that embarrassment of his dad. Utterly shameful

    I read nothing into the Ngannou fight. No way he took it seriously despite what he says.

    Usyk is my favourite active fighter. With the back drop in Ukraine, the fact it would likely make him the fighter of this generation, and show up the top heavyweights for avoiding each other for years - a win would be amazing, but I think he needs to be near perfect to win here, and even then he might not get the nod.

    He’s the better boxer but I’m not convinced the gap is big enough to overcome the size disparity. Feels like Fury just has to be good to get over the line, while Usyk would have to be near perfect.

    I’m not expecting an amazing fight, but expect Fury to edge it.

    Game of chess and Fury will win by targeting Usyk’s weak mid-section.

    Usyk would have to run for 12 rounds not to feel every single pound of Fury’s weight and dirty boxing. He’s simply too big for him, at his best.
