There is a clip, can't find it right now, in which Fury when asked if Usyk is the best boxer he has faced replies "Nowhere near it" and claims that Wilder holds that accolade.

That alone is enough to hope that Fury is made to eat his words a second time. It might be an exaggeration to say that Fury is all that's wrong with boxing and Usyk is everything that is right, but the Ukrainian really is a breath of fresh air, and Fury is a crass oaf. Fury for a big man is better than many, including myself have sometimes given him credit for, but the fella is still in many ways, massively overrated. For someone that big to struggle so much with opponents and now to not even have the grace to admit that Uysk is not the easy nights work he made him out to be, says a lot about his lack of power and delusional beliefs.

The beard is not going to help him but is indicative of a bloke who seems to think he is a special case in a very average era. Got decent odds on a Uysk KO so that probably scuppers any chance of that happening but even better odds for a Fury DQ seems to indicate that he is going to be allowed to get away with anything and it may well take a clean KO for Usyk to get the nod. May the best man win but I hope for Boxing's sake it is not Fury and the circus he has mocked and disrespected the noble art with these last few years.
