Last time this happened was a quarter of a century ago when Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield to become the last undisputed king of the boxing heavyweights.
We're back in a golden era right now with the top 2 fighting each other this weekend. Fury vs Usyk, for me is genuinely so 50/50. Usyk is master boxer, but Fury has a huge 85" reach and is top technician himself. Plus he's 6'8" and about 19 stone!
As much as some people might not like Fury as a person, he's undoubtedly a top boxer. He's also got a great story of his own coming back from mental health issues and the brink of suicide to becoming world champion. Usyk has the weight of Ukraine on his shoulders during this tender time.
You genuinely could argue plenty for each side. I can't pick a winner. My heart says Fury can do it, and I want him to. But something tells me that Usyk might be his kryptonite.
Anyone a boxing fan? Predictions? This could be a very quiet thread .
