to hope Oleksandr Usyk smashes Tyson Fury to pieces

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.

Definitely backing Fury. I have so much respect for him for being so honest and open about his mental health.

When is the fight? I rather like Fury.

Tonight, not sure what time it will be.

I agree! Usyk all the way, my favourite boxer.

BobbyBiscuits · 18/05/2024 13:31

Fury is a mess and a drugs cheat. His family are thugs. I haven't been following boxing for ages but will probably watch the fight. All this unified champion stuff is crap as most belts don't even mean anything at this point. It all seems so money orientated now, like a circus.

Surprised that it is so unanimous on here.

I voted Unreasonable because the title of your thread is pretty vile in sentiment.

i don't have a clue who these people are, but I don't think that matters. The casual violence of wanting to see someone smashing another human being to pieces is not helpful in a world where people are ripping each other to shreds.

For me boxing is about supporting your own (whoever is local to you) so that should be fury. This is the first time I’m supporting another nationality just because I hate ours so much. And my opinion of usyk has actually massively gone down after the Anthony Joshua ‘below the belt’ farce

His ring walks due to start a little after 11pm

TheEyesOfLucyJordon · 18/05/2024 13:45

Tyson Fury all the way for me.

Neither know nor care.

But yet you’ve still taken the time to contribute to the thread? I love it 👀😂

I like Usyk too. A very smart boxer and one of the best technically. Unfortunately I think Fury might just be too big for him though.

FaeryRing · 18/05/2024 20:13

I like Tyson (and Paris). Not the sort of couple MN would approve of but I think they’re genuine, down to earth and not ‘insta’ at all. They haven’t had easy lives and it shows, and I think Tyson is quite a deep thinker despite all the comments about him being thick/unrefined.

Not keen on Tommy however, he seems to be putting on a bit of an act in my opinion and doesn’t come across as genuine at all. Him and Molly Mae seem all about the likes and I can’t warm to them like I did Tyson and Paris.

Floralnomad · 18/05/2024 20:17

Most people with any kind of reasoning skills would prefer a Usyk win . John Fury is an absolute disgrace and IMO should be banned from attending any professional boxing matches or the run up to the fights . Unfortunately Usyk will need a knock out as he won’t get a points win , despite being the better boxer and I don’t know if he will manage that .

Do you mean Dubois . The only farce in the Joshua v Usyk fight was Joshua’s mental breakdown with the microphone at the end .

I love arrogant boxers being brought down a peg or two

cariadlet · 18/05/2024 20:41

I don't watch boxing.

I've heard of Tyson Fury but don't know anything about him and haven't heard of the other family members at all. Why do so many people dislike him/them.?

HooleyB · 18/05/2024 20:47

Usyk alllll the way. Bloody Fury's are just awful people. Paris doesn't let her kids be educated past 11. Knock his light out.

Toottooot · 18/05/2024 20:49

Mon ‘i Tyson

MrsSkylerWhite · 18/05/2024 20:51

Boxing ought to be banned,

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 18/05/2024 20:54

Well I’m supporting Usyk because I want him to win, rather than because of disliking Fury - but that’s because I didn’t know all the things people have mentioned about Fury!

I’m not really a boxing fan but I support Ukraine and therefore anyone / anything who will amplify their cause.

He wore the most incredible shirt this week commemorating a fallen hero of Ukraine - murdered as a POW by russians after saying “glory to Ukraine” - not sure if any of you saw that.

Upallnight2 · 18/05/2024 20:56

Hate fury

User1979289 · 18/05/2024 20:58

I hope Fury wins, I am from the same area as him 😂He's a knobhead yes, but he is, for better much worse, our knobhead 😂

Leah5678 · 18/05/2024 21:03

Tyson just for patriotic reasons.

I don't really know much about them tbh though. Interesting to see fury is so hated on here? Someone fill me in on why?

CranfordScones · 18/05/2024 21:05

I'd like to think I'd give it a miss out of a sense of decency to the women and ordinary people of Saudi Arabia. But I don't care enough about boxing...

AhBiscuits · 18/05/2024 21:07

I can't believe that boxing is still an actual legal sport. It's barbaric and should be banned.

ana7887 · 18/05/2024 21:09

I'm originally from Ukraine and support Fury! 😝
