to hope Oleksandr Usyk smashes Tyson Fury to pieces

[LargeDeviation]

I would like John Fury, Tommy Fury, and especially Tyson himself all to be humiliated. I saw John Fury headbutt a member of Usyk's team just for chanting 'Usyk, Usyk'.

I despise the entire Fury clan (possibly excluding Paris, but then I remember she doesn't want her children to go to secondary school....)

Usyk seems like a humble, polite man. He cares about his country, his family and whilst he is obviously very funny, he seems very serious about his goals.

I don't care much about boxing but my family love it and keep going on about this fight being the biggest for decades. I always want to support the Brit but can't bring myself to get behind him here.

I’m supporting Usyk too. YANBU!

Neither know nor care.

So you/your family think it's important to watch one bonehead thump another one till one is badly hurt? Bizarre.

Fury is a clown, I'm firmly behind Usyk

But when this is the current peak of boxing supposedly these are some lean times

Know absolutely nothing about it but if it means the Fury's get stomped on I am in.

Plus I lived in Ukraine for 3 years and fell in love with the place and with the Ukrainian people who were the most wonderful warm colleagues and friends.

Go Usyk.

I'm with you! I have been looking forward to this fight for a while as I'm a long time boxing fan and I will be rooting for Usyk!

Surprised that it is so unanimous on here.

I’m backing Fury.

But boxing ain’t what it used to be, sadly.

I'm not super into boxing but everything I've read about Usyk indicates he's a decent chap and a really outstanding boxer.

Fury is a clown and I despair that this absolute charisma void is supposedly the best fighter of his generation. Grim. I really, really, really hope he loses this fight.

Jesus imagine the outrage if this was about 2 women sports people

What a useful contribution to this thread🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m backing Fury!

why bother commenting then 🙄🙄

He was at a gym the same time as me .. parked his great big car in the Disabled spot .. prick

When is the fight? I rather like Fury.

Which one?

I despise Tyson Fury as a human being, but even setting aside what a vile individual he is - he’s such a slow, graceless, boring lump of a boxer to watch. Not remotely entertaining or exciting.

The only reasons he’s as successful as he is are a) he’s been lucky lately that boxing in his weight category is going through a bit of a slump and b) his walnut-sized brain barely registers that someone’s punched him. I swear to god that you stuck a pin in that man’s arm at lunchtime, he’d sit up in bed at 2am and say “ow”.

Eh? It’s boxing. If it was two women, the objective of the fight would still be for one to punch the other one in the face as hard as possible, so it wouldn’t be remotely outrageous to hope that happened to one’s least favourite participant.

Usyk all the way! Fury is obnoxious and gets far too much airtime.

Genuinely - what do you like about him?

Noted, thank you for that PSA

Tyson Fury once bought DH and I a drink and chatted to us for a while when we were in Nice. He was a very pleasant and engaging man. We had no idea who he was at the time until someone later told us!

Team fury all the way
