Fury v Usyk is on.............!

[Master]

‘Jai Opetaia has recently returned from Saudi Arabia where he sparred and trained with Tyson Fury,’ his promoters said.

‘They were fantastic, competitive rounds and an incredible experience for Jai.

‘However, any talk of either boxer being dropped is not true. Jai is now back in Australia finalising his preparation to defend his world title and cannot wait to do so in Saudi Arabia.’

i've seen multiple reports about "Defending his title". i thought he got stripped?

He is probably still the Ring champion.

Hearn has echoed Opetaia's team's remarks, insisting any suggestion that Fury was put on his backside in sparring as "complete rubbish".

He told talkSPORT: "I saw the piece yesterday with Johnny Nelson and Spencer Oliver.

"Johnny Nelson was adamant that Fury had been dropped in sparring by Jai Opetaia.

"Jai Opetaia is with Matchroom, he's a tremendous fighter. As far as I can see, it's absolute rubbish.

"Jai Opetaia flew in, he did five rounds with Tyson Fury. I mean, he will set about him as he always does, but as I understand it nobody got hurt or dropped in the spar.

"Then after that Jai went back because it's all southpaws in [Fury's] training camp [to prepare for Usyk], and he's fighting Mairis Briedis who's an orthodox fighter.

"So I think it's absolute rubbish, sparring stories are sparring stories.

"As I understand it, Fury's having a great camp and I think he's taking it very seriously.

"I expect a much better Tyson Fury in this fight against Usyk. Usyk looks razor focused and sharp. It's a 50/50 fight.

Yeah the promo is bollocks , as is most of this Saudi Marketing tbh. in answer to your previous post about how Fury's looking , I'll be honest , i saw a "Gloves are off" between them the other day and it was probably filmed a couple of weeks ago. And being honest, and i have to say they were in normal clothes, but Fury did look a bit leaner , so maybe he is taking it seriously.
my biggest downer on Fury is that I don't know if he's got a camp of this Seriousness left in Him, but I might be wrong .
I still think Usyk Wins and I've still got my reservations about Fury's fitness.
