Booked to watch on DAZN …. Any good?

Lot of mileage on Fury, but he has always adapted and performed much better in rematches - think Usyk fought the very best fight he could fight tactically last time, not sure he can improve on it, and his very best only just narrowly squeaked a win.

Unless Fury has hit the wall, there's ways he can adapt - first fight his body shots had Usyk looking very uncomfortable, as it did whenever Fury went forward and Usyk had to go backwards. Question is can Fury push himself to one more great performance.

Deciding factor is gonna be who can adapt to what the other did in the first fight and the mistakes they made.

If Fury constantly allows himself to be backed into the corner he loses, if he fights more in the front foot then think he can stop Usyk around the 8-9th.

However it goes though it's what boxing should be, the divisions two best fighters by a mile squaring off v each other.

The four stone and 6” advantage should tell this time. I expect Fury to do a lot of leaning on and tire Usyk

Going for a Fury stoppage in Round 8

I believe Usyk always just does what he needs to do to get him through each fight.

Think he’s one of the greats and will step it up again to any level Fury steps it up to.

The money Usyk must already have combined with that 'undefeated' tag beats any temptation to make it 1-1 I reckon.

Like you say the bigger concern would be if it goes to points and promoters or Saudi have got into the judges to favour a result.

Tbf so far the fights in Saudi have arguably been better judged than in the US

The weigh in was a joke, they kept their clothes on ffs.

Aye, there's a lot Fury can do to alter the fight, not sure Usyk can do it any other way than he did the first time round. Which was just narrowly enough.

I think both of them have benefitted from it being an era devoid of many really good fighters, not sure how either would have lived with peak versions of Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, Holyfield, Holmes etc

What time is the ring walk?

Brother messaged me earlier that it's at 1 am UK time

Edit: 10 am UK time, 1 am my time

Fury putting on weight banking on knocking him out in the first 6 rounds, if it goes further then that usyk will win.

As somone said earlier, it could also mean he intends to be a lot more physical using the weight to tire out Usyk this time around

11pm UK time

Looks like I'm pulling an all-nighter. I'm GMT+7 hours, so it's ring walk 6am. Darts starts at 2am though, in 30 minutes, so shouldn't be too bad.

Ring walks at 10 UK time mate.

Unless they have delayed it since I double checked ten minutes ago
