Same … i hope he does as well .. I like everything about him .. plus he’s best mates with Lomachenko


Fury has been banned previously for drugs as I recall and he’s suddenly coming in very light is suspicious to my mind

No I don't think so, I found a couple of other answers specifically saying Fury and Usyks ring walks will be 1am local time/11pm GMT

He was so poor against Ngannou as well although he does look in much better shape now.

Yeah it looks that way … though the previous saudi fights were later

:::

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are expected to walk to the ring at around 11.05pm UK time, which will be 1.05am on Sunday local time. The fight start time is not guaranteed however and previous fights in Saudi Arabia, especially Anthony Joshua's win over Francis Ngannou, have started much later.

Suspiciously good shape ;)

Hopefully he loses then fails a drug test

Yeah, not sure I'll wait up much longer than that either. The UFC cards are run so much better than the boxing

I remember being in bed in the dark listening to Jim Watt become world champion as I had been allowed to wait up to watch but it dragged on and I was forced off to bed :oh:

and that was 45 years ago

The DAZN package seems ok .. you just have to remember to cancel the subscription before 17th June

From what I can tell - please advise if I am wrong !!



Dazn / Sky / TNT are all charging £25 but DAZN includes a month of DAZN including Taylor v Catterall 2 and that Promoter Special where 5 fighters from each camp go to battle .

( maybe even the upcoming bouts of Tank Davis and Broner’s comeback !)

No, they only have a few that I want to watch

I would not want another monthly Bill
not good value.

He could make a fortune on One-off Pay per views

[BBC Radio 5 Live
snubbed over Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk
as fans face UK radio blackout

Talksport has also been unable
to secure the rights owing to
a difficult relationship with Fury]

I will hear the result on Live USA TV feed
online.

arista 18-05-2024 11:00 AM

I hope you who are watching it
can post the result live.

Gusto Brunt 18-05-2024 11:13 AM

Who knows who'll win.

Flip a coin, heads or tails.

I won't watch tonight. I'll probably hear who won on the 6am radio news.

I'll still watch it though later on in the day. :D
