24 years since the last undisputed HW champion. Who has everyone got for tonight?

Some cracking undercard fights on aswell.

Gotta be Fury with the weight advantage.

Fury looks in good shape to.

If fury has had a good hard camp, and he’s in good shape, then I can only see a fury win.

If he’s any less than 100% fit and ready, then Usyk (as we have seen) has the skills and the engine to get it done.

after what Fury's dad did I hope Usyk wins

If I was being Cynical then the draw looks a good betting option, because it would make the rematch even bigger..

But for me if a dialled in Fury turns up then I think he stops Usyk late.

It’s all down to the workrate. If Fury can slow down Usyks work rate then he’s winning the fight. Usyk has the tools to beat Fury but will have to be perfect for 12 rounds to do it and he will have to outwork him which he is capable of doing, but I have a feeling the ref will allow Fury to use the dark arts to tie up and slow Usyk down.

WTF !!! He's being paid 80million quid ..Absolutely disgusting for thuggery.. Time boxing was banned..!

All depends how up for it Fury is . As said above if he’s 100% , he’ll just have too much trickery, movement and power for Usyk . AU can’t use the tactics he did against Joshua or Fury will catch him eventually. 5/6 yrs ago I think Usyk could have won this , but I’ll go for Fury on points or a late stoppage .

What time is the ring walk?
Assuming around ten o'clock?

Scheduled to be 11 but going off previous events in SA will most likely be nearer to 12

Hoping Fury wins but every pundit or ex boxer I hear speak says Usyk and keep hearing about his relentless training but he lost his last fight to Dubois without a doubt, Dubois got robbed

Fury wins by knockout by uppercut in round 8 9 or 10

Why do people who talk about boxing speak with such authority using the past tense to describe things that haven’t happened yet? Really odd.

It’s definitely a male ego thing

To be fair, there are plenty who do that with our games, even this season.

How many times have you heard that we'll beat one of the top teams by... 'insert scoreline'.

It never happened, of course.

It’s more the use of the past tense which is quite odd and used in boxing parlance more than football. Ie, Burnley hammer Forest 4-0 tomorrow.

Calm down dear. You can’t predict something that has already happened.

What is it with you nit-pickers? There is no bickering to be had here. Just someone stating an opinion on a boxing match, why try and push buttons and spoil a decent thread?

Unnecessary. Who do you think will win Rileybobs ?

For me, I was a big Fury fan, but less so now. Both are very good -- but think the bigger man wins this and maybe by KO

I’m not bickering, I was just making an observation which I find interesting. There was nothing abusive or personal, in fact that (mild) abuse was returned to me for making said observation.

I don’t know enough about boxing to make an informed prediction, if I had to guess I would say Usyk.

Fury on points. Be very close those, Usyk arguably best pound for pound in the world

Great undercard so far.

I’ve got Fury round 9 or draw on. One of the most difficult fights to predict in a long time. Will be brilliant to see a first undisputed champ in 25 years.

Anyone managed to stream this?

Usyk wins the fight but Fury will get the points decision, so Fury Vs AJ is at Wembley. The biggest money spinner of them all.

Surprised the Sky Sports pundits seem to be playing down Tyson Fury’s chances.

Fury was garbage against Ngannou, and Usyk is a phenomenal boxer, no doubt about that, but he’s never been in the ring with anyone Tyson Fury’s size before.

Really can’t call it. Thought the Cordina vs Cacace fight was a cracker. Would’ve like to have watched Moses Itauma fight again but the kids were watching bloody Rango!

Anyone got a link?

Don't know why people use these links they are full of viruses,buffering,ads ... and miles behind....invest in a firestick and use an app (sportsfire) takes you straight to the action...no ads & no buffering if you have a decent broadband package.

i agree, but not a firestick !!!

Got to second the firestick. It’s the way forward.

You can even watch all domestic football on them.

Great scrap in the end with the Opetaia and Breidis fight.

Only just switched on to see the Opetaia/Breidis fight. If that's a good fight standards really have fallen.

Absolute war with Opetaia and Briedis there.

Looking like a midnight start for the big dance.

Next up....

Stream here seems to work for anyone who's looking

Bloody good fight !

This (c) rap singer has a full concert going on, unintelligible ****!!

Great picture, no sound. Annoying.

Am I just a grumpy old fart, or do we really need this pantomime just to get into the ring, lasts longer than the bloody fight!!

And at 23.44 it is go.

1st to Fury for me but I could do without the showboating. His reach helped.

Come on,Usyk.
Tw@t the f****r.

2nd to Usyk. He’s making Fury put the yards in by dominating centre ring. Fury carrying some chub, he won’t want to be doing that for long.

How high are Fury's trunks? Almost covering his nips

Covering up the fat bastards belly.

I wish I had sound! I can’t tell if some punches are landing.

Usyk looks to be tiring here. Fury coming out at him a lot more now.

is it just me or would a prime Mike Tyson annihilate these two ?
