Tyson is having a snap press conference soon at 12:30 GMT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40ZkLdYVtJ4

Apparently he's doing it by himself. Bit bizarre announcing a shock press conference within 24 hours. I've got a feeling this isn't going to be good news. Retirement, postponement, failed a drug test???

It appears that Tyson Fury might have made this decision to have a snap press conference because he wants to promote the fight, however,he also wants to promote this under his own schedule. I will not be shocked if he is not present on 1 or 2 official press conferences. He will be busy training hehehe.

On the press conference, Tyson Fury has certainly made a very good argument on size and why being bigger is certainly always better in boxing if the fight is between fighters of similar measure of capabilities.

^^ Ok, but why make a separate press conference for this kind of non-sense from him? He can simply say that Usyk is not going to beat him as size matter. But still he put on a a tirade and attack those CW in history that lost to a good HW fighter.

Quote

“We have weight divisions for a reason. When the cruiserweights step up to the big boys, they are usually found wanting. You can beat the average big ones, but you can’t beat the elite big ones because size really matters,”

In any case, he should prepared for this fight 100% because if he losses here, this whole press conference is just a bunch of rubbish.

Doesn't look good to be honest, but If I'm going to be positive here, probably Tyson Fury is hyping this fight with this kind of press conference. He hasn't had history of drug related failed test isn't it?

But if this is true, then it's really a shocker and then the fight getting cancelled again and most likely it will not going to happen.

Hopefully this is not the case.

Nothing of that happen in the press conference in his hometown with Frank Warren. It's just all Fury wanting to let everyone knows that he is back and then point to a fact that a CW like Usyk cannot beat the top tier boxer.

And then the litany of great CW in history when they step up with the great Heavyweight fighters, they usually lost according to him.

And so with that, he believes that Usyk is not going to beat him this May 18th.

However, Tyson Fury presently has been training 24 hours a day without a rest. He uploaded his latest picture on social media. You will notice the very big difference.

Wow, The Rock Dwayne Johnson is in great shape. However, if Fury considers himself to be one, then most likely he does not train 24/7 but is again experiencing mental problems due to cocaine and nandrolone Grin

Quotes haunt me - at the moment on sportsbet.io it’s literally 1.85 to 1.85. In theory, such a dramatic change is a sure sign that you should bet against the former favorite. But 1.85 doesn't seem like good compensation for the risk.

However, if Tyson Fury trained for the fight against Francis Ngannou and punched Francis straight to the stretcher and carried out by Mike Tyson, would the odds on Fury be 1.85? It will certainly be very much lower, I reckon. This is the picture mentioned that was being compared by the fans to the Rock.

Also, what is this nondrolone? This is my first time knowing this ehehe. Is this good? Will this drug cause Fury to imagine and invent a new punch heheheh.

Joshua had a fantastic win over Ngannou and we were all surprised to see how he completely dominated the fight. The ending was a sad thing to watch as Ngannou required medical attention. Having said that, I believe Parker will beat Joshua. It went to the judges scorecard the first time they met in 2018 but if they were to meet today, I am confident Parker will defeat Joshua.

Parker’s biggest weakness is his lack of power. He also got dropped twice against Zhang. Joshua isn’t some slow, overweight neanderthal like Zhang is. If he is able to hurt Parker, he is not going to allow him to recover. Deontay Wilder is supposed to fight Zhang next. If he wins that fight, then I would rather see him face Joshua. Despite neither being champions anymore, it would still be a huge fight that would do great numbers on PPV.

I wonder what's next for AJ after his big win over Ngannou. Usyk and Fury are locked in with a rematch clause. I would like AJ to take on IBF mandatory, Filip Hrgovic or a rematch with WBO interim holder Joseph Parker.

The fight is taking place next month and one thing has been almost constant from when the contracts were signed, the promotion is exceptionally muted. I cannot recall any important heavyweight boxing clash ever receiving less news and promotion. When you consider this is the first heavyweight unification fight since 1999, the silence is baffling.

This fight should happen and after I watch how Usyk climbs the ladder from unifying all belts Cruser Weight to be a champion in the heavyweight right now and the only one left for him is Fury to beat, I want to watch and cheer him in his journey to become Unified Heavyweight Champion this year. we all want to see this one and this is undoubtedly a big fight compared to Ngannoue vs Fury because Usyk is more capable of beating Fury and has a high chance to unify all the Heavyweight Belts. They need to make it happen this year since both of them are about to reach their limit and settling it next month is the only way to satisfy the fans of whoever wins the fight.

Big belly has over a month to train harder. I believe Fury is determined because he has no choice, he is cornered and it will be a shame if he ducks once again which is normal to him. But I still believe he won't enter the ring unless he is performing well in his sparring sessions. He already trimmed down in weight as expected and now he needs to maintain it.

His face is on the line here, if he cancelled it again, it will be over for him. The Saudi's might not give him any opportunity in the future as we all know that honor is a big word for them. And if Fury uses another excuses, so once t hat happens, it's done.

It's good that some video of Usyk has surface, so at least this fight is still happening. Fury might be secretly and trainer harder. But I don't think he will likely lost some pounds in this fight or his "big belly". He will need that extra weight again to put on Usyk when they clinch, just like what he did against Wilder.

Finally there is a video from Usyk, it took a long time. The problem is the amount of talk there is going on in the media. Fury is keeping a low profile with the exception of his recent sparring video and we are scratching our heads wondering where the promotion is. Where is the media hype?

Could it really be a case of both boxers simply being focused on their training to the extent they have almost closed themselves off from the outside world media?

Quote from: Baofeng on April 08, 2024, 03:26:53 PM

Well for those who wanted to see some kind of promotion, here is a video of Usyk

https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1777428051938210132

Not that much, and there are another video of him hurting his sparring partner with a quick over hand left. We will probably see a video of Fury then next trying to trash talk Usyk with those videos that he released.

I speculate that if Tyson Fury is very quiet, this is where he might be spending all of his time only on training and creating new tactics with his father. I reckon that it should be very clear that the Fury we have witnessed against Francis Ngannou did not train. He was eating, drinking and watching his cartoon shows while Francis was in the gym hehehe.

The odds seem interesting in that if the fight occurred a couple of years ago, they would have favoured Fury with a larger margin. Now it seems Usyk is making it (almost) even.

Boxing fans seem to have waited a very long time for any heavyweight unification fight and this one had long negotiations over a couple of years before they were supposed to meet. After that, Fury suffered a cut above his eye in training therefore the original date was postponed. Now, the fight does not seem to get anybody excited.

If the media were to get behind this fight and start promoting it by talking about it more, I think the anticipation and excitement level will increase but this simply is not happening.

I do agree, really puzzle me as well as why there are noise on this fight? We've seen more of Mike Tyson being interviewed by media about his fight with Jake Paul?

Or they are doing what they have done with the AJ vs Ngannou fight wherein it was also silent until the last minute, then suddenly they have a lot of promotions even creating this so called online games?

And base on the odds, almost 50/50, Usyk 1.89/Fury 1.85.

2 title fights in the undercard. Not bad. Hoping for Briedis to get back his old belt but it's a mission nearly impossible since he is inactive and is also nearing in his 40s. Beterbiev, if he becomes undisputed with a clear win over Bivol should move up and face the winner.

I wonder if there are also odds for Fury to make another excuses to cancel or delay this fight. Cheesy

Anyways, he gets what he wants. He has a lot of time to train while trimming down in weight to become faster. But I am not counting out yet on Fury making another drama to get out of this unification if he performs bad in sparring sessions.

Not sure Fury wanted to make another excuses mate, I mean if he did then more than the belt itself, his will lose the respect of the biggest boxer broker right now which is HE Turki Alalshikh. And he might not get a chance to step on Saudi if he will do that.

So for me this is a go already and Fury even if he gets injured or what, should proceed.

I would also agree that the undercard is pretty lame, but I guess this fighter is willing to go to Saudi now and make their bones.
