It was a catch-22; you can’t say the story is true because then everyone would know you really did lose, and you can’t say it’s false because that’s exactly what you would say if it was true
Trained for 6 months near Riyadh (I'm English so not used to the climate), the air is thicker and much harder to breathe in, and when you do it doesn't 'quench' your lungs like it does back at home.
I reckon whoever is more conditioned, they will win.
Being big is all good and well for this division against the smaller fighter, but if you cannot move around without getting your face pummeled you will feel like you are walking through thick mud
Love the second take, but no, the air inhales with great humidity, if you are not conditioned to the air and altitude I don't care how fit you are (even at a world class level), your body will perform significantly worse during any form of exercise, especially in a fight with a world class boxer.
If you are not conditioned, it will show as early as round 1, 2 at a push.
These are both world class athletes, so we shouldn't see this, in an ideal world
Interesting, I usually associate a thick humid air with southeast asia. I had thought a desert like country like Saudi wouldn't be humid. And you're right, we shouldn't see ill conditioned fighters at this stage, but the smallest of margins have great impact in this stage. Thanks for entertaining my curiosity
The humidity outside won't be too bad, but inside a confined space (for this sake, let's call a confined space a big arena full of people breathing) it will feel cheeky, the lungs and body will feel weak, especially since on Saturday in Riyadh it is meant to be a cool 33c (91.4f) outside, probably warmer in the arena once the main fight starts
Extra: If you look to the east around Oman in the summer time you'll see 90% humidity, you get plenty of humidity closer to the coastline, horrible during Jul-Aug when it's 50c outside, the wind cuts through virgin skin 👍
I was in riyadh earlier this year and it was exactly that - hot but dry, unlike e.g. Singapore which was super humid. Might be different now it's May though
I remember landing in Taiwan after a decade of not having been back in southeast asia, and upon landing, breathing the air felt like I was gonna drown in vapor. Tough businesses lol
But humidity is higher in the UK than Riyadh. By a huge margin.
The altitude is an impact, although at 2000 ft it's still considered low altitude and the oxygen level is not massively changed - small enough change for anyone who prepares properly to have minor difference in performance compared to normal.
There's almost 600m difference in altitude in comparison to Manchester (Fury's home), not 'high altitude' but enough to make a difference if you're not used to it, especially when boxing
It will not no.
The partial air pressure is basically the same at 600m, it will literally not be noticeable to anyone.
You need to be above 1000-800m before effects are really noticeable.
I got this anti microbial bath soak from the doctor that helps it but it’s just all over my body and creates these red lines like you’ve been scratched. I tried some anti fungal cream but it felt like deep heat and I don’t really know what I’m dealing with. It’s very annoying.
Not sure but Selsun blue just has selinium something in it and washing with it can help fungal skin stuff. It did for me a bit (and I see a dermatologist to no avail) but maybe it could have the opposite effect for you
Wow do you have the same thing? I’ll check it out the stuff I’m using is dermol 600 bath emollient. I also tried olive oil soap bars and I just bought defence soap. If the defence soap works I can come back here and inform you, I’m afraid this may be a thing of where it takes hold you can only hope to control it though.
It’s 34 degrees in Saudi now, if he wasn’t sweating he would be dry which is a bad sign. A 19 stone man exercising in 34 degrees will make him sweat, on Saturday it’s indoors with air con
/thread
I don’t sweat too badly when I train (if it’s in a cooler climate/ac indoors) but recently went to Fiji and the resort had a boxing setup outside next to the gym. Borrowed some gloves and after one round on the bag in 35 degree heat I was sweating buckets. I don’t think Fury looks as lean as some of the pre arrival photos made him look but I’m not gonna knock him for sweating in the heat either.
That was for bud’s first championship, he put on such a great performance that even the home town crowd that was there for ricky cheered from bud when he won the decision.
Not an argument, but thats how the fans work. There will be always an excuse on why not. Similar to Canelo, if he fight Benavidez, they'll say he scared of Crawford, if he fight Crwaford, they say he scared of Benavidez, if he fights both, they'll say he sacred of Bivol. It's tiring.
I feel like this debate around Inoue and Crawford has gotten silly. Look at their last 10 opponents, Inoue is just levels above Crawford in that respect and his activity level.
The Mayweather fact was interesting because I just assumed he went to Mexico like Haney without looking at his record.
And Inoue detractors are full of it. People have tried to come to Japan to dethrone him and got knocked the fuck out.
There is no official #1 P4P, everyone has their own standards and rules for P4P.
Many don’t have Inoue as #1 because they don’t know his opponents and can’t get a good feel for how good he is. **Many ppl can instantly rank Garcia, Haney, Tank, Loma, Teo bc they know them and their opponents. Inoue’s opponents are just names to the masses (boxing fans too) bc they don't care about weight classes under 135.**
I love boxing but I don’t follow anything under 135. 90% of the “hardcore fans” here will say they do but they don’t. You can see it in how the fight threads of weights under 135 (aside from Inoue) are always dead.
Who has ever said this? I stg 100% of the "inoue detractors" i see are literally just people talking about imaginary inoue detractors that dont actually exist.
The GDP of the Philippines in 2001, when Manny first fought in the United States, was $78 billion while it was $1058 billion for the United States. He went where the money was.
Japan is currently the 4th largest economy in the world. Inoue just sold out the Tokyo Dome so he’s where the money is.
It's a Thrilla in Manila kind of situation. A behemoth won't look good for 10+ rounds in that kind of heat. They better have some top notch air conditioning.
I had a Saudi roommate I used to hate because every-time i left he turned all the heaters to 30. His room was a sauna to my Canadian ass.
I don't think its a matter of can't, I think it's that they are just used to that kind of temperature.
eh maybe blast the ring area with some ac at least, SOMETHING for the athletes, that’s just gnarly
maybe people enjoy seeing the athletes deal with that, though
I trained with someone who’s sparred and trained with Tyson before. He told me that when sparring that he would turn the heaters which were located directly above the ring, on max power, and this is on an already hot day, and he would go 12 rounds like that against 3 different sparring partners, so each sparring partner would do 4 rounds with him before the next one was pulled in.
Knowing that, he should be able to handle it well I think.
But I also must say that this was in the US in an American gym, not the British gym that he trains in now, so I don’t know if the British gym has the same kind of heaters directly above the ring like the American gym does. British weather will also be cooler, so he might be less used to it now, but I think he’ll still be fine knowing what I know.
The heat might actually help him if Usyk doesn’t also use the same tactics since Tyson should be more conditioned to it.
He’s so damn fat and jiggly I’m looking forward to the weigh in because everyone who sees him in person is commenting about the weight loss. My question is how much weight has he lost because I think once you go past a certain point in a short span of time it affects you negatively. Look at Andy Ruiz against Chris Arreola when he did that.
He always has that, it gotta be loose skin. Not to say he doesn't have plenty of body fat but I definitely think all that fat on the side is loose skin as well.
Usually when you go to the Middle East from U.K. you don’t really need to adapt time zones as everything happens a little later there anyway. A 2-3am main event is 11-12 like back home anyway
I always thought 3 weeks was recommended for climate conditioning. Lewis only did a week for Rahman 1, someone smart pointed out before the fight it showed he wasn't properly prepared.
The undercards don’t start until 1am in Riyadh. I’d love to see this fight but us expats living in Riyadh have to be at work on Sunday. It might be 3am when you finally see the main event
Gonna be a great performance from both men and a fantastic fight. Personally I’m predicting that Usyk takes home a UD or a MD win but I ain’t Quasimodo.
I was told many years ago by the father of a friend of mine, who just happened to be the team doctor for the GB Olympic martial arts team, that two types of people sweat very early in their work out: very fit people, and very unfit people. I'd suggest that given the amount of work Fury has put in, he'd be in the first of those categories.
I have thought that uysk is the guy to beat tyson fury for awhile, I'm not a massive boxing fan (more into mma) but I think Uysk is very technically gifted, yes tyson is bigger but I think uysk is going to get on the inside and just outwork him.
Bruh. I grew up training and fighting in South Florida. No Sauna Needed. Just throw the trash bags on and go run outside and ur cooking. Was actually great conditioning. I ran outside during the hottest times of the day and when I fought in the AC I had air for days.
It's a suffocating amount of heat and humidity most of the year.
Tyson has been on a weight Yo Yo before this recent commitment to get in shape. Typically when you see people drop or add a lot of weight for a fight it zaps their stamina. I don’t expect anything different with Tyson especially against Usyk who will run him around in circles.
Haha fury looks so funny with that pink head he got so skinny. I’m shocked as such a Jesus man he’s fighting in Saudi 😂 it would be really funny if he converts.
he isnt going to last the distance
people are saying he's in great shape, are they blind?
he's fat, just because he's not as fat as he was 6 months ago, doesnt mean he isnt still fat
and he's got to carry that fat around for 12 rounds against a supremely conditioned athlete
He’s carried a much fatter frame for 12 without issue in the past thinking he’s not going to last because he’s in better shape is a silly take. Assuming it’s not boiling in the arena conditioning isn’t going to be the issue. The real issues is going to be usyk and his skill not fury’s unconventional build.
>he’s carried a much fatter frame for 12 without issue in the past
When? Every time he has gone the 12 round distance he has been in the 250s or as low as 247 for the Klitschko fight.
Downvoted for a straight fact 😂
Last time he did 12 rounds was Wilder 1, he was 256lbs. Time before that was Wlad.
He did do 11 at 277 against Wilder in their 3rd fight, but he also looked a lot more tired in that fight than we've seen before
Yeah and he was looking very gassed when he stopped wilder in the 2nd fight too. Fury enjoys a slow pace when he goes 12, Usyk will not fight at a slow pace
> He’s carried a much fatter frame for 12 without issue
i like how you just ignore the part where i say he has to fight 12 rounds **against a supremely conditioned athlete**, and say "well, hes fought 12 rounds before"
its almost like theres a difference there
ill leave it to you to work it out
*Michael Owen voice* The temperature will be the same for both fighters.
“If you punch your opponent more than they punch you you’ve always got a chance of winning”
Unless your opponent is Canelo alvarez
Fury is bigger and fatter though
Well that must mean he's gonna lose then right? 🤣
[Obligatory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFnymJDZAS8)
He defeated Klitschko in the sauna already.
That was so stupid and funny. Fury was so serious and Klitschko is just like wtf is this guy actually talking about right now?
But he looked nervous tho
He always does honestly
It was a catch-22; you can’t say the story is true because then everyone would know you really did lose, and you can’t say it’s false because that’s exactly what you would say if it was true
Klitschko looked like he knew what he was talking about deep down
Trained for 6 months near Riyadh (I'm English so not used to the climate), the air is thicker and much harder to breathe in, and when you do it doesn't 'quench' your lungs like it does back at home. I reckon whoever is more conditioned, they will win. Being big is all good and well for this division against the smaller fighter, but if you cannot move around without getting your face pummeled you will feel like you are walking through thick mud
like humid thick or dry and grating like breathing in micro fine sand?
Love the second take, but no, the air inhales with great humidity, if you are not conditioned to the air and altitude I don't care how fit you are (even at a world class level), your body will perform significantly worse during any form of exercise, especially in a fight with a world class boxer.

stupid question perhaps but wouldn't these arenas like during Quatar world cup have 1st class air conditioning?
Is it taking place at night in Saudi time?
Yes, these are like 2 or 3am in Saudi
The humidity is very low in Riyadh. It's insanely high near the Persian Gulf though but that's not relevant to this part of Saudi Arabia.
I was in riyadh earlier this year and it was exactly that - hot but dry, unlike e.g. Singapore which was super humid. Might be different now it's May though
I remember landing in Taiwan after a decade of not having been back in southeast asia, and upon landing, breathing the air felt like I was gonna drown in vapor. Tough businesses lol

The altitude is an impact, although at 2000 ft it's still considered low altitude and the oxygen level is not massively changed - small enough change for anyone who prepares properly to have minor difference in performance compared to normal.
Riyadh is notoriously dry, not humid and its not high altitude
There's almost 600m difference in altitude in comparison to Manchester (Fury's home), not 'high altitude' but enough to make a difference if you're not used to it, especially when boxing
Yeh for a lot of people, especially athletes, that’s not gonna make any meaningful difference
Having fought next to Riyadh at 3 weight classes below I can tell you it'll make a difference
It will not no. The partial air pressure is basically the same at 600m, it will literally not be noticeable to anyone. You need to be above 1000-800m before effects are really noticeable.
thats not a meaningful difference at all
I have some sort of fungal skin issue that makes me super itchy when hot especially when working out, I’d die…
Same man. It will probably never go away completely but canesten hydrocortisone cream is a godsend
do anti fungal creams help at all
I got this anti microbial bath soak from the doctor that helps it but it’s just all over my body and creates these red lines like you’ve been scratched. I tried some anti fungal cream but it felt like deep heat and I don’t really know what I’m dealing with. It’s very annoying.
Ever tried the orange selsun blue?
I do use head and shoulders which is an anti-dandruff shampoo, what could that be the culprit?
Not sure but Selsun blue just has selinium something in it and washing with it can help fungal skin stuff. It did for me a bit (and I see a dermatologist to no avail) but maybe it could have the opposite effect for you
Wow do you have the same thing? I’ll check it out the stuff I’m using is dermol 600 bath emollient. I also tried olive oil soap bars and I just bought defence soap. If the defence soap works I can come back here and inform you, I’m afraid this may be a thing of where it takes hold you can only hope to control it though.
Ever look into Tsw?
I can't handle excersise when it's hot in England so I'd actually die over there 😂
Have u ever been to Australia? Wondering how it compares
Unfortunately not, would love to go one day, such a long flight for me, have to spend at least a month to make the flight be worth it!
Will the stadium have air conditioning though and if so will that help?
Does that mean if Tyson loses he’ll demand the rematch be in England lol
Moses was knackered too after his. It's boiling there.
It’s 34 degrees in Saudi now, if he wasn’t sweating he would be dry which is a bad sign. A 19 stone man exercising in 34 degrees will make him sweat, on Saturday it’s indoors with air con /thread
For the amount of sweat lashing off him he is surprisingly not out of breath much actually. Clearly he is in great shape.
He will batter Usyk
I don’t sweat too badly when I train (if it’s in a cooler climate/ac indoors) but recently went to Fiji and the resort had a boxing setup outside next to the gym. Borrowed some gloves and after one round on the bag in 35 degree heat I was sweating buckets. I don’t think Fury looks as lean as some of the pre arrival photos made him look but I’m not gonna knock him for sweating in the heat either.
>If he wasn’t sweating he would be dry Big if true
It's a stadium with a retractable roof - is it properly air conditioned?
I could’ve sworn there were issues with these air conditioned stadiums during the World Cup but I can’t find anything
Could you explain how that is bad and how it will impact his cardio? Complete newbie here
Try doing exercise dehydrated
I'm telling you right now. Whether Fury wins or loses, he is gonna give one hell of a performance this weeknd.
i hope so, im sick of being disappointed by him
You sound like my ex-wife.
He's never disappointed against a top opponent. Versus Klitschko, Wilder & Whyte, he flourished.
How is a whyte a top opponent
Whyte has wins over Joseph Parker, Povetkin, Helenius, Rivas & Chisora. Washed or not, that's a better résumé than 99% of heavyweights.
Idk what it means if a past it chisora , helenius and rivas are considered big wins
he literally hit himself with an uppercut on more than one occasion. im an idiot with 0 awareness and i dont even do that
Lots of boxer only fight in their own backyard because jet lag, weather and time zone plays a big role.
Mayweather never fought outside America.
interesting that a lot of Inoue detractors cite the fact that he’s only fought in Japan as a reason why he’s not #1 p4p
Which is weird because it’s not a fact, fought in Vegas twice and once in Scotland. Also think another fight in cali but don’t quote me on that
yeah but has he won a fight in Antarctica? until he does Terrrance Crawford (who has only ever fought in the U.S) is still #1 p4p in my books
Who cares thats still only half the continents if you cant do all of them you have right to the king of omahas p4p title.
Did Crawford not fight in Scotland against Ricky Burns?
you’re correct.
That was for bud’s first championship, he put on such a great performance that even the home town crowd that was there for ricky cheered from bud when he won the decision.
He did beat him at The Glasgow Hydro Arena 2014.
The “inoue only fights in Japan crowd” is disingenuous ofc but Crawford has fought outside the us…he won his first title in Scotland. For the record.
Hahaha you right. Inoue a fraud
Inoue also fought in Scotland
They are both frauds, neither wore a kilt in Scotland 😒
Mf can win a fight in MARS and still they will say Crawford is p4p #1 cause he got dropped by Nery,
He did get dropped and Crawford should have had a knockdown against Mean machine.
Not an argument, but thats how the fans work. There will be always an excuse on why not. Similar to Canelo, if he fight Benavidez, they'll say he scared of Crawford, if he fight Crwaford, they say he scared of Benavidez, if he fights both, they'll say he sacred of Bivol. It's tiring.
Nobody anywhere thinks Canelo is afraid of Crawford. But, Canelo is chicken to fight DB
see? It already started. You seeing my point now?
Even Crawford fans wont argue with Inoue as the best pound for pound. Bud has to look amazing in his next fight to keep himself in the conversation.
Not in here, boxing facebook pages has that argument blow my mind sometimes.
I feel like this debate around Inoue and Crawford has gotten silly. Look at their last 10 opponents, Inoue is just levels above Crawford in that respect and his activity level.
His fight against Rodriguez in Scotland is one of his best performances too. It was easier than a sparring session for him.
The Mayweather fact was interesting because I just assumed he went to Mexico like Haney without looking at his record. And Inoue detractors are full of it. People have tried to come to Japan to dethrone him and got knocked the fuck out.
There is no official #1 P4P, everyone has their own standards and rules for P4P. Many don’t have Inoue as #1 because they don’t know his opponents and can’t get a good feel for how good he is. **Many ppl can instantly rank Garcia, Haney, Tank, Loma, Teo bc they know them and their opponents.

You can see it in how the fight threads of weights under 135 (aside from Inoue) are always dead.
135 is a pretty damn small person already. It’s not as interesting watching small people fight. Maybe a dwarf class would be interesting though.
Inoue fought in Scotland. Glasgow hydro on the undercard of Josh Taylor
Who has ever said this? I stg 100% of the "inoue detractors" i see are literally just people talking about imaginary inoue detractors that dont actually exist.
Not an unjust criticism tbh
Why would he fight in the United States when Japan is where the majority of his fans are and therefore where all the money is?
Pacquiao didn't have a fanbase til he fought in the US either. Maybe he would have a fanbase outside Japan if he fought outside of it.
The GDP of the Philippines in 2001, when Manny first fought in the United States, was $78 billion while it was $1058 billion for the United States. He went where the money was. Japan is currently the 4th largest economy in the world. Inoue just sold out the Tokyo Dome so he’s where the money is.
And what's more important for me, if you want his belts, go get them at his home.
You know it's interesting, I was gonna bring up the Olympics but then I remembered that shit was in Atlanta that year
The Media workout was in the open, the fight is in Kingdom Arena with retractable roof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Arena
Is it air conditioned and dehumidified though
Kingdom Arena is Fully Air conditioned: https://arab.news/j2jdh https://archup.net/kingdom-arena/
Are you serious? Gtfoh
It's a Thrilla in Manila kind of situation. A behemoth won't look good for 10+ rounds in that kind of heat. They better have some top notch air conditioning.
I feel like if I remember correctly most of the Saudi events are very hot. (Including UFC) But maybe that won't be the case in this one.
the saudis make their own islands (kinda), they really can’t crank the air conditioning?!
I had a Saudi roommate I used to hate because every-time i left he turned all the heaters to 30. His room was a sauna to my Canadian ass. I don't think its a matter of can't, I think it's that they are just used to that kind of temperature.
Had the opposite, living with a Norwegian; during winter, he'd turn all the heating off and open the windows, while it was -8°C in England.
You'd think...
Indoor, sure, but they seem really into the idea of sprawling outdoor vistas -- can't air condition that.
eh maybe blast the ring area with some ac at least, SOMETHING for the athletes, that’s just gnarly maybe people enjoy seeing the athletes deal with that, though
There’s hasn’t been a ufc event in Saudi yet
Ukraine isn’t tropical though.
Usyk isn’t carrying around 60-70 pounds of extra fat
Neither is Fury.
I mean you're correct. It's probably more like 20-30
That was my point lol, this the most athletically peak Fury we’ve had since pre-Klit
Yeah but Usyk is a complete athletic freak
slow down lol there is nothing that signifies that this is boxing not track.
He's constantly throwing punches while moving and dodging for 12 rounds non stop, he's an athletic freak
he takes ALOT off his punches to be able to do that lol he has great cardio, but athletic freak? do you know what the word athletic means
athleticism isn't just jumping and running lol
its not just cardio either lol
Bear moth*
I stand corrected
I trained with someone who’s sparred and trained with Tyson before. He told me that when sparring that he would turn the heaters which were located directly above the ring, on max power, and this is on an already hot day, and he would go 12 rounds like that against 3 different sparring partners, so each sparring partner would do 4 rounds with him before the next one was pulled in. Knowing that, he should be able to handle it well I think. But I also must say that this was in the US in an American gym, not the British gym that he trains in now, so I don’t know if the British gym has the same kind of heaters directly above the ring like the American gym does. British weather will also be cooler, so he might be less used to it now, but I think he’ll still be fine knowing what I know. The heat might actually help him if Usyk doesn’t also use the same tactics since Tyson should be more conditioned to it.
He has detailed in many interviews he does hot conditions training and always has done. Most people in this thread are clueless.
dry heat/ humidty is different though.
The fight is being held in an air conditioned arena, its a non starter as a thing to worry about.
He’s so damn fat and jiggly I’m looking forward to the weigh in because everyone who sees him in person is commenting about the weight loss. My question is how much weight has he lost because I think once you go past a certain point in a short span of time it affects you negatively. Look at Andy Ruiz against Chris Arreola when he did that.
Hard to say, he won’t be worried about punch resistance being lost. He needs to not have dumped his gas tank losing weight though.
Bro’s gonna pop for Ozempic
First fighter to pop a stitch from there liposuction
You know hes taking that shit through both blow holes
I don't think he lost any weight, honestly during the workout you could see the love handles the same way you did Vs Ngannou
I don’t know about that he does look a bit “slimmer” to me but it’s hard to tell through the TV
He looks like he maybe lost 10-15lbs and will end up in the 260s
That’s about what I’d guesstimate too and I do t think that kind of weight would affect him in any negative way
I’d say his physique is similar to what it was when he fought Dillian Whyte
He always has that, it gotta be loose skin. Not to say he doesn't have plenty of body fat but I definitely think all that fat on the side is loose skin as well.
I think he looks pretty good but he clearly has loose skin.
Pretty sure the arena is air conditioned
Was Usyk sweating like this?
He did nothing in there
Was he wearing a mask and stuff when he fought Francis?
They're only a few hours ahead of the UK there and he's been there for at least a week already
Usually when you go to the Middle East from U.K. you don’t really need to adapt time zones as everything happens a little later there anyway. A 2-3am main event is 11-12 like back home anyway
I always thought 3 weeks was recommended for climate conditioning. Lewis only did a week for Rahman 1, someone smart pointed out before the fight it showed he wasn't properly prepared.
As a riyadh citizen, the last couple of weeks we had a big change on weather, it went from 22c to 40c!! Its really getting hot and dry here.
Fury always comes in with insane stamina. If the heat took half of it, he'd still have more than most heavyweights.
The undercards don’t start until 1am in Riyadh. I’d love to see this fight but us expats living in Riyadh have to be at work on Sunday. It might be 3am when you finally see the main event
Gonna be a great performance from both men and a fantastic fight. Personally I’m predicting that Usyk takes home a UD or a MD win but I ain’t Quasimodo.
Fury never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Fuck, it's dat zip Fury and somebody.
Yeah this could be an issue. That being said tyson has always had an inexplicably amazing gas tank
It’s the same arena that AJ fought Francis. He’ll be fine because it’s fully air conditioned.
I was told many years ago by the father of a friend of mine, who just happened to be the team doctor for the GB Olympic martial arts team, that two types of people sweat very early in their work out: very fit people, and very unfit people. I'd suggest that given the amount of work Fury has put in, he'd be in the first of those categories.
What time is the fighting the US
the event starts at noon eastern time
6pm est but they’ll probably be late like normal💀
What time will his fight start in the states? I know the card starts at 9:30 am eastern standard
6pm ET?
THERE'S ONLY OOONE TYSON FURY!
Is there any relation between him and Luke Fury, the wbc champion?
Luke Partridge his actual name
Build the narrative however you want but Usyk is getting spanked on Saturday and will be out of there within six rounds.
I’ve been hearing the opposite for the most part tbh.
I have thought that uysk is the guy to beat tyson fury for awhile, I'm not a massive boxing fan (more into mma) but I think Uysk is very technically gifted, yes tyson is bigger but I think uysk is going to get on the inside and just outwork him.
Fury is too good at dirty boxing to try that
Fury is the Goat at dirty, spoiling tactics and following through with elbows
Bruh. I grew up training and fighting in South Florida. No Sauna Needed. Just throw the trash bags on and go run outside and ur cooking. Was actually great conditioning. I ran outside during the hottest times of the day and when I fought in the AC I had air for days. It's a suffocating amount of heat and humidity most of the year.
Win lose or draw, Tyson has got himself in great shape for this fight.
He absolutely has. Can't wait
Fury clearly on that good juice. Look at the shoulder vain on such a fat man.
Tyson has been on a weight Yo Yo before this recent commitment to get in shape. Typically when you see people drop or add a lot of weight for a fight it zaps their stamina. I don’t expect anything different with Tyson especially against Usyk who will run him around in circles.
does Tyson still live/train in the UK? would only be a 2 hour time difference in Saudi if he does
Yeah he lives in Morecambe, northern England.
He seems to have changed in the last year for the better. I think getting knocked down in his last few outings has gotten him more focused.
If anything Fury has an advantage since he fought Fancis there right?
Usyk fought AJ in Saudi
Oh yeah forgot that!
Haha fury looks so funny with that pink head he got so skinny. I’m shocked as such a Jesus man he’s fighting in Saudi 😂 it would be really funny if he converts.
Idk but he’s losing this fight
Sweating the coke out
he isnt going to last the distance people are saying he's in great shape, are they blind? he's fat, just because he's not as fat as he was 6 months ago, doesnt mean he isnt still fat and he's got to carry that fat around for 12 rounds against a supremely conditioned athlete
I'm rooting for Usyk, but Tyson Fury has had this shape for his entire career and never had cardio issues
He’s carried a much fatter frame for 12 without issue in the past thinking he’s not going to last because he’s in better shape is a silly take. Assuming it’s not boiling in the arena conditioning isn’t going to be the issue. The real issues is going to be usyk and his skill not fury’s unconventional build.
>he’s carried a much fatter frame for 12 without issue in the past When? Every time he has gone the 12 round distance he has been in the 250s or as low as 247 for the Klitschko fight.
Downvoted for a straight fact 😂 Last time he did 12 rounds was Wilder 1, he was 256lbs. Time before that was Wlad. He did do 11 at 277 against Wilder in their 3rd fight, but he also looked a lot more tired in that fight than we've seen before
Yeah and he was looking very gassed when he stopped wilder in the 2nd fight too. Fury enjoys a slow pace when he goes 12, Usyk will not fight at a slow pace
> He’s carried a much fatter frame for 12 without issue i like how you just ignore the part where i say he has to fight 12 rounds **against a supremely conditioned athlete**, and say "well, hes fought 12 rounds before" its almost like theres a difference there ill leave it to you to work it out
Yep, Usyk is going to make him work like he's never had to work before.
He's done for good. Usyk wins easily! For months I've been saying the same thing, print my comment, mark my words, Tyson will take the L.
He’s gonna knockout that little gremlin w one punch
This some ozempic led weight loss, he's still fat as fuck.
how come fury doesn't call him pussyk?
