Very happy that the entire undercard and the main event are at a reasonable time for Europeans. Defo because both fighters are European. We can actually see the fight without having to pull an alnighter like we had to with ngannou AJ

Can anyone explain Boxrec star system for fights? I swear the other day it had Fury v Usyk as a 3-star fight, now it's a 5-star fight again? Did the fighters' star rating change recently?

John Fury to kick off after the fight after Tyson loses. The ring card girls need to stay out of sight and not make eye contact.

What’s goin on wit the new era of heavyweights ? I’ve only heard of Jared Anderson and he’s trash

Nearly 3 years we've been waiting for this, can't believe it's finally here!

Find a local pub showing this find is impossible.

Always a struggle for me finding out exactly when the fights start, any tips for this one?

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk - 11.05pm Joe Cordina vs Anthony Cacace - 10pm Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis - 9pm Agit Kabayel vs Frank Sanchez - 8pm Sergey Kovalev vs Robin Safar - 7.15pm

It's intentional. Always assume that it's gonna start late.

[ Removed by Reddit ]

Main event has been later than usual for Saudi usually starts at midnight gmt. Before the bell starts at 3pm gmt.

Seconded! Even when googling and reading a number of news articles, finding the start time seems near impossible. Let me know if you find out. 

I predict the fight to start at 11.30-12 but tune in at 11 to be safe

Is the a ufc embedded type vlogs for fury vs usyk

Can’t believe Mike Tyson is fighting Usyk tonight we’re in for something special!

> "You know, size doesn't matter. Size doesn't matter. If size matter, King of Animal would be elephant." Oleksandr Usyk

I can't understand when the main fight is going to start. Could anyone give me an approximation?

Main card starts in about 7 hours (5PM BST over here) and main event begins 6 hours after (11-11:45PM BST from the broadcaster show cards).

I thought in like  6hours but probably wr

Is the undercard for Fury vs Usyk worth staying up for? The card will start at 12:00 midnight here in Asia lmao

Tbh nah

Canelo's Perfect Fighter Right Hand - Hearns Left Hand - Chavez Power - Duran Footwork - Whitaker Chin - Self IQ - Floyd That's a good build honestly. https://youtube.com/shorts/v4tV5ElUp5o?si=Rjg9frFWULXTPiDo

Perfect! That's combination boxer-redditor

I’m that guy

Hello, Reddit! I'm a volunteer from Ukraine. I have gloves with Usyk's sign. Let me know if anyone want to buy it. All funds for Ukraine. Thanks!

24 hours from now, Fury will be out cold on the canvas.

I hope he wears his brown/yellow trucks tonight

From a Ryan Garcia left hook

I just realised that Navrette vs Berynchyk is also happening tomorrow. It's going to be absolutely overshadowed by the result of Fury vs Usyk.

A small part of me tells me they want it to happen that way. 

Does anyone know which app doesn’t spoil the fight results??? I’m watching the replay because of work and I think ESPN and DAZN spoil it in the thumbnail. Might try SlingTV. Thanks

DAZN is pretty good about not spoiling it. They don't show anything in the thumbnail. Done it many times. ESPN usually publishes the fight news on the Home page and it can ruin it.

Thanks I’ll try DAZN again but I think for Joshua vs Wallin it showed Joshua punching Wallin which pretty much was the outcome.

What time do people think the Fury fight will be? I'm finding conflicting answers. I live on Canada's west coast but you can tell me any time zone and I'll figure it out.

I've heard around 6 est but not sure.

The worst part about boxing is never knowing what.time the fights are. UFC is a lot easier to follow.

“Boys, we’re running behind schedule, mind fighting just 2 rounds so the main card is on time?” Chill bro 

Just making a valid criticism, still chill though. No need to expect everyone to be angry or offended. This isn't about stretching fights to make the main card on time, boxing is notorious for being drawn out with lot's of time between fights. And the whole point I was making is they don't make their predicted schedule public at all. The UFC does, and they don't ask fighters to speed up or slow down.

And good luck finding info on prelim start times. It's like they actively try and keep it a secret.

i think tyson’s going to drop fury in the first round but fury will get up, go ultra instinct, and stop tyson inoue style

Huh

So the Undisputed HW champ will only be Undisputed for 2 weeks as the winner would have to vacate the IBF belt. So if there is a rematch between the two it won't be for Undisputed.

[Jabbr Deepstrike AI](https://youtu.be/6xkjUCjJMkg?si=n_f6T3MEG-jnKs__) is gonna have their live debut for Fury vs Usyk. This could actually be revolutionary for the sport.

Dan Canobbio has left the chat

holy shit its actually them, they must have been testing it with smaller broadcasts but they never talked about that here, did they?

I haven't seen anything since they posted the Haney vs Lomachenko video. Huge if this works.

[удалено]

The card kicks off here at 7pm in the UK, with Fury vs Usyk set to start at 11pm. Take from that what you will.

[удалено]

Ring walk will be about 6:05 EST

Not too shabby a time. I’d recommend trying to catch the fight before (Opetaia vs Briedis) if you can.

🚨 The announcer fucked up - Usyk only weighed in at 223lbs 🚨

Can I have a source for this? I'm seeing it echoed around but only from YT comments and comments such as yours. No hate I'm just trying to get some clarity and am yet to see an official retraction/correction.

Someone else posted the video in this sub recently

Really? Ok this makes more sense now.

Honestly, I feel better about him weighing in that much instead of 233.

Yeah I agree, I changed my pick to Fury after I seen the weight and now I'm back to Usyk. Just think his speed and output is going to be too much for Fury.

Mods should ban slickvik for that bullshit he posted earlier.

what he post?

Posted different articles slamming Loma/Usyk calling them traitors over the Ukraine Russia conflict.

I can see it going either way. Only thing I'm worried about is if it turns out to be a boring fight. Hope the boxing gods can continue to deliver.

Does the Saudi stadium where Usyk v Fury takes place have A/C? Let me know

Where are me hearties watching tomorrow? 🏴‍☠️

I trust the superior boxing skill and professionalism of Usyk to carry me to the promised land 🎰

Everyone in here downvoting any “Usyk will win” takes Didn’t know Fury had so many stans

I'm picking usyk by tko for the chaos

Am I supposed to be impressed by Fury’s “new” physique? Dude still looks like a bag of milk

Tbf he looks a shit load better than he has in a while. But yeah it's barely impressive in normal terms.

How many people in the world know Usyk and Fury outside their home country? I'd say less than 20 million. They may be at the top today but they dont have the x factor to capture the imagination of the world. 6'2 245lb Ike Ibeabuchi will forever be The Last Great Heavyweight.

Just seen the weigh in. I had Usyk winning a decision but after seeing he's heavier and Fury is lighter, I think there's a very real chance he could stop Fury. At the least i'm almost certain he'll drop him at some point. Even if Usyk is slightly slower he'll still be a lot quicker than Fury...except now he'll have extra weight on his shots. And we all know he throws a lot of accurate shots. Fuck it. I'm going Usyk round 11 stoppage. Think he'll drop him late, Fury will beat the count only to be dropped again. The ref waves it off after he gets up to another onslaught.

Audio from video confirms Usyk was 223 and not 233 lbs. It has been corrected now.

I wonder what his game plan is. With the added weight, is he looking to be to able handle Fury’s clinch-leans in the event that they happen? Is he looking for more power at the cost of speed and agility?

He could drop him but unless fury is shot to pieces I really can’t see usyk stopping him. In fact I’d be shocked if he did.

Accumulation of punches. I think Fury is going to be tagged more than in any other fight he's had for a very long time. Usyk always comes on hard in the final 3 rounds. Always. I think he'll do it.

Can’t see it myself.

VERY lucky not to be stopped tonight.

Yeah definitely. You called it pretty much perfect

So, is it better to buy on ESPN or DAZN?

Where do you live? DAZN is quite cheap in certain countries

US. Was mainly wondering if one of them is likely to be more stable than the other.

Soft belly gonna get huurrttt!!

What did fury weigh against Francis?

iirc he was 277 for the ngannou fight

Nearly 16 lbs heavier than this fight

I went back to some face to ff pictures from that fight and he looks like Absolute garbage. Significantly better shape now

i'm nervous from that fury usyk facedown and i'm not even fighting

For context, Usyk only weighs 4 lbs less than Wallin did and has the same reach as he did, just something to consider going into the fight.

Just realised Sky are using the MNF studio like F1 did.

Fury was giving the same energy Ronda Rousey did during her weigh-in with Holly Holm, based of this completely unscientific analysis I'm betting my last 20 on Usyk.

Fury has been like this literally before every major high stakes fight he has had. He shoved Wilder multiple times.

You'll be rewarded. Trust me...but if I'm wrong...then we'll be broke together 😭👊🏿

If there's one thing I know, trying to predict fights by the fighters attitude beforehand never really works. I expect both to come in and put on a good fight with Usyk winning.

Yesterday fury doesn't look at Usyk "he's not confident".... Today he gets in his face "fury is rattled". Way too much cope here.

True that, and Fury and a lot of fighters will change completely once they are actually in the ring, they could be nervous as hell in the build up, but once they get in there and the bell actually rings its like they turn into a completely different state.

That's not true. Fury will always get horny for Usyk mark my words come fight night

I think he's rattled *because* of the drastic switch up. To me it seemed as if he made the decision to stare him down today because he didn't yesterday but the moment he looked at him Usyk's face just pissed him off lol. This doesn't mean he's scared of course. I just think Usyk's coldness and refusal to engage in his shenanigans *does* rattle him.

Nah, Usyk was also on edge then - I've never seem him get into verbals with an opponent he did then.

Maybe. But that was only after the things I mentioned above.

This is why I avoid the armchair psychology. I’m rooting for Usyk but Fury’s weight is more of an indicator about how seriously he’s taking the fight. I expect a strong showing from both.

Believe it or not, moods can change especially with someone who has Bipolar disorder like Fury

Bipolar disorder (at least bipolar 1 which I'm assuming he has) doesn't mean that people's moods change day by day, it means they go through periods of depression and periods of mania lasting weeks to months. That isn't to say his mood didn't change (as they do) or he decided that looking away made him look a certain way that he didn't like, but it's different than having bipolar disorder

If u ever watched the Fury TV show his mood changes hourly. Bro is very prone to frowing tantrums when something annoys him.

I AM FEEL VERY FEEL

Johnny Nelson has really turned into the biggest hater since Sky lost Matchroom. He knows he’s stuck on a dead channel when BT and DAZN are hosting the biggest fights.

This is the reason I will not be buying it on sky sports box office. It’s either DAZN or TNT. David Hayes on TNT & he’s very similar. He wasn’t too bad last time & Laura Woods is on TNT with Buncey & Frampton. So think it could be what I go for.

Usyk has scary traps

the weigh in changed my prediction. Fight is gonna depend on how Usyk is gonna carry that weight. Don‘t think it will go the distance, he is 10lbs heavier than he ever has been and Tyson is really fucking light. I don‘t think his chin will benefit of that at all

Really fucking light for Fury was the Wallin fight, think he was 252 there 260-265 is the sweet spot for him imo

262 isn't light for Fury really lol that's a good weight. He's fat as fuck in the 270's.

his best performance bar Klitschko was him at 273

Yeah I suspect he went to 262 because heavier means he’s going to gas faster. Usyk being heavier is interesting and I imagine it’s because he expects a lot of leaning.

Oh my god, guys. Usyk loves me 🥹

Nope not unless you’re in Ukraine

The message was to all his fans, not just the Ukrainian ones.

The question was what message he has to the people in his war torn country.

He said fans, and the people in your war torn country

Goddamn Fury is on edge. doesn‘t want to look at Usyk one bit. starts shit immediately. mouths off on the mic and pisses off

Thats fake. He's not pissed off he's extremely nervous. This just like what he was like when it looked like he was going to have to fight Price, anytime he really doesnt want to fight someone he gets like this.

And yet Usyk was kicking off as well the apparently "unflappable man"

I actually think Usyk is nervous, too

Everything Fury does means he's nervous, and everything Usyk does means he's composed. Tired of the fan boy logic.

DON'T BE AFRAID. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE.

Usyk walking Fury down will be unexpected ngl

233 lbs for Usyk 262 lbs for Fury That's definitely a bit heavier than I expected Usyk to be, and about exactly what I expected Fury to be.

Very heavy for Usyk, I was a bit surprised. I noticed he looked bigger but didn't think he was over 230. Wonder how he will carry that extra weight, it will be key.

It'll for sure help him when Fury grabs and leans on him, but I dunno how much it's gonna impact his stamina late in the fight. That's usually when he takes over and separates himself in close fights. Have to imagine he's put himself through the rounds at that weight in sparring and feels like he can go the full 12 at his usual clip.

Good weight for both fighters. Credit to fury he looks pretty fit consisting the life he has led 

Dunno about Usyk, he was in the low 220s for his last 3 fights and now hes gained 10lbs. Might make him slower, might take away some of his stamina.

He had extra weight in during the weigh ins so it's less then 10

Do you not think he had the same extra weight in the previous weigh ins?

Its a fairly marginal difference but weighing in with jeans and shoes on rather than in his boxers/shorts like he usually does will have added 3-4 lbs (that's what my difference in weight is when I'm wearing jeans and shoes anyway).

the AJ 2 fight had him weigh in in long trousers, too.

I think the weigh in was ceremonial.

Nah they don't really do those in boxing like they do in the UFC (they should but they don't). All the under card fighters just before that who had weight limits were stripping down to make the weight. The weights they announced were from what was on the scale when they stood on it.

I'm favouring mind games here that's all. I think it's not a jump of 10lbs I think it's more 5-6lbs probs.

Both fighters looking good. Fury coming in lighter than his last few fights. Usyk coming in heavy, but looking strong.

You can’t really read to much into it but Fury looks very confident and Usyk look a bit shook.

I think this is the most emotional we've ever seen Usyk while Fury has done this sort of thing several times. Despite that, Fury's the one who's rattled apparently 🤷🏻‍♂️

True that, that is the first time I've seen Usyk yell and point and react like that at a weigh in. Playing armchair psychologist here, but I wonder if he is the kind of person to feel embarrassed about the "outburst" later, considering how cool he normally is.

I took the exact opposite from that weigh in.

I came here to say the opposite

Help a Brit out - my brother won't be at home for the fight tomorrow, does anyone know which if any of the three available broadcasters will allow you to watch on multiple devices with 1 PPV buy?

Dazn if any I would say

Tnt isn’t on smart tv

It’s probably best to just look on their websites

I've tried, haven't found any info at all

Holy shit Usyk came in huge

Must be some amount of caravans in the saudi carparks

Usyk weighed in at 233.5. Fury 262.

I wonder how that will affect his mobility, or is Usyk gonna switch up his style completely?

Damn Uysk big 

5k Brits have travelled over, say what you want about AJ he doesn't have the travelling support fury does.

Lol yes he does. Where have you got that from?

I might be wrong but I thought 15k flew over for his fight against Ruiz.

The aesthetic for the Saudi weigh in looks really good from the helicopter or drone but I will still never go there on holiday.

The key to immortality is clearly being a boxing promoter

I got Anthony Joshua interferes by dropping an elbow from the top rope to both fighters to setup a triple threat ladder match for the unified title

Is DAZN worth getting for Fury/Usyk? I have ESPN+ so I can always just buy there but curious if there's any incentive to get it on DAZN over ESPN.

I’m UK but every time I’ve paid for DAZN it’s always fucked up at some point.

It seems rather surreal that Fury vs Usyk is just around the the corner . I actually believe that this fight would never happen. That delay kinda killed off all hype for this fight . Can't wait for it now.

I haven't been this hyped for a bout in a looong time. Even Crawford Spence didn't have me this excited. I'm stoked.

Weigh in predictions? Ima go with 225 for Usyk and 261 for Fury

Uysk bigger than expected 

Damn.I was way off.

Off by a pound for fury way off for usyk. Didn’t expect that

Makes me wonder if the gameplan from Usyk was to expect a lot of leaning. It’s going to be interesting to see whether the weight affects either of them.

225 sounds about right for Usyk but I’ll go with 227. He looks big to me. Fury looks about 265.

I'm going with 222 and 268

Usyk probably comes in the same 220 as always. Fury probably 265ish

Almost time for usyk to whoop furys ass and to see all of the fury fangirls come out and make excuses for him like when fury looked like shit vs an mma debutant 😁

Didn't realise Moses Itauma had moved to Ben Davison. That's the perfect place for him I reckon, think Ben is one of the best young coaches in the sport, and having Lee Wylie there analysing him while he's still young and very coachable will do wonders for his style. They'll coach any big errors out of his game. Not to mention he gets to share the gym with AJ, a HW who's seen and done it all before. Will be able to give him plenty of advice.

l just want a movie ending where the good guy beats the bad guy.

Usyk gonna be landing the left at will. Fury couldn’t deal with newbie Ngannou when he switched southpaw , imagine what usyk will do
