Fury vs Usyk: Preview Special

Pinch yourself folks, it’s here. Or at least we hope it is! Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are at last mere days away from deciding the best heavyweight on the planet and, cor blimey, are we excited. Let’s try and forget the problems that piled up to make us wait 25 years for a fight like this and ignore, if we can, the idiotic actions of John Fury and his bloody noggin. Because this is all about the fight, the occasion, what it means to the sport and, at this stage, predicting a winner. Given this is widely viewed as a 50/50 fight, it should be no surprise that Alex Steedman and Matt Christie have a difference of opinion when it comes to who will have their arms raised. Which means one of us will be right, right? Not necessarily given the dreaded draw has been known to gatecrash the biggest of fights. We also have time to revel in the brilliance of 36-year-old Vasily Lomachenko and, in This Week, we focus on one of the most stunning moments in history. It occurred when one left hand from Antonio Tarver forever removed the superpowers from Roy Jones Jr. Thanks for all your support. To say it is appreciated would be a huge understatement.
