Fury v Usyk back on for the 18th May.
Both figures allegedly will stump up $10m if they pull out.

Anybody else watching AJ v FN tomorrow? I'm steadfast in my AJ via UD prediction.

Funny because I am the complete opposite.
I will absolutely accept that I am not a very well versed Boxing fan, I enjoy it, and like watching the big fights, but don't fully appreciate the more finer aspects and strategies/strengths of the boxers. But, I have always been slightly unimpressed with AJ (Reminds me of Kahn, way too much hype).
I thought FN was robbed in his fight against TF. Again, will stress I am no expert but thought TF was very lucky to get the result. I think FN can pull off the upset, I thought he did so well in his last fight and obviously has the weapons available to him.
I am probably very wrong, and you can all laugh at my total ignorance post fight. But if I was a betting man, I would be betting on FN and the upset.

I would argue the opposite in that I think AJ has generated a massive amount of unwarranted hate, and that he's actually underrated by the general public.
I think AJ beats Fury right now. His Wallin performance was great, and his showing in Usyk 2 was probably the best pure boxing performance of his life. His resume matches up with Fury's, and it could still be argued surpasses it.
Ngannou of course has a chance as it's heavyweight boxing and he punches hard. But I think AJ keeps it clean and jabs/1-2's his way to a nice victory. Maybe cumulative damage stopping Ngannou late with the ref jumping in as FN gets tired, but I fancy the points.

Totally accept your more experienced opinion, you are definitely one of the more learned fight fans here.
Will just say I don't hate AJ at all, as everything I have seen of him outside the ring he seems like a very nice guy (despite that weird moment after his loss a few years back). Don't like Fury though, nver have never will.
I think that's where I am lacking, I don't see/recognise the more minute aspects of the sport. Not sure if I saw the Wallin fight, will have to have a look. I am probably being very unfair. I think my desire to have this all conquering Heavy weight chamption like the good Lewis days makes me unfairly critical of any British fighters who have patchy moments.
