Usyk is so clever. Watch that fight Saturday night on half speed. He’s in control throughout.

Can he beat Joshua? Perhaps. Take a look at his fights against the super heavies in the ams. He beat Joyce with ease. Also beat the super heavyweight multiple world champion that beat Joshua in 2011, again, with ease.

It all depends on his chin holding up and not being worn out by the bigger mans size if he can impose it of course.

I’d probably put my money on Joshua but Usyk has a chance, possibly the best chance of anyone out there too. Following his heavyweight journey will be great. So many questions and he just might have the answers.

Bellew didn’t hurt him one bit imo. He was tagged a lot harder by two bigger punchers in Breidis and Gassiev too and each time he just smiled. I think he’s chin is great...but we’ve only seen it at cruiser.

Del Boy isn’t actually that powerful. The Takam ending was a bit of a rarity. Two Hail Marys landing in succession mixed with Takam being a little past it helped. Usyk would dance around him all night imo.
I’d watch it though, the loser of Whyte/Chisora would be a good starting point for Usyk. In theory though, the absolute undisputed cruiser shouldn’t need to prove anything if he feels he can take on Joshua straight away. Why not make it immediately?

Agree with almost all of that. I see Usyk making a big impact in the heavyweight division.

I disagree about Chisora, he is extremely powerful but he doesn't throw the flurry of punches like he used to. Don't think Chisora is the safest bet for Usyk though I think Usyk would win.

If Usyk wants to make an immediate impact I think Parker, Whyte or Povetkin would be good matches for him.

Checked out what Tyson Fury was up to, looks like he's training with the brothers and guess who he met at the LA Lakers basketball game? December 1st will be a blast.

He is looking fantastic, its difficult to believe how quickly he has managed to turn his body around. The dedication that must have been required would have been massive but hes managed to do it. I think he'll beat Deontay Wilder pretty comfortably as his boxing skill is on another level altogether in comparison to Deontay. I think it will be a good fight but I have Fury to win by a very wide decision.

Tyson is looking and sounding good, he has one thing on his mind only and that's beating Deontay Wilder December 1st on BT Sport Box Office PPV. This could be a hard fight but I know he can do it and winning will generate massive publicity in America & around the world, so that's the extra EXTRA bonus.
Look who Fury bumped into the other night at the LA Lakers latest basketball game, none other than Floyd Mayweather.

I'm looking forward to the heavyweight fight between Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury - December 1st, Staples Center, Los Angeles, America. Gonna order the fight and watch on BT Sport Box Office PPV channel.

I found these Tyson Fury interviews quite interesting, Tyson's mind set is on par and I think he will deliver come December 1st.
A certain London fighter certainly needs to step their game up and fight the winner, who ever wins though, which i think you would agree.

What is this, an SC post or a fucking BT Sport advert?

Also, can we lose the question mark in the title of this thread? Makes me read it like Ron Burgundy when somebody slipped a question mark into the teleprompter.

In order - 1. Gazza 2. Teddy Sheringham 3. Dimitar Berbatov 4. Harry Kane.
I'm buzzing for the fight aren't you lot? It takes someone with BIG balls to fight Deontay Wilder in America. Champions should fight anywhere, if they don't, they are suspect in my opinion.

It's easy to forget just how dominant he was in his prime



Agreed but there wasnt a whole lot around to beat at the time. When he was on the cover of Ring before he won the title I think it was like age 19 he was 19-0 with his 19in neck :) he looked a monster.

Both fights should be close, favour Frampton and Whyte personally.

Whyte Chisora II does have a bit of needle to it, genuinely think those guys do not like eachother, no pantomime.
