Fury is talking nonsense in the way he says it, but I do agree Usyk is too small to beat elite heavyweights. David Haye is still one of the best boxers I’ve ever seen imo and even he was simply just too small to beat Wlad and got bullied. Wlad was a top heavyweight, Valuev was a slow big lump in comparison
AJ is not an “elite” heavyweight, he’s good but he can’t move, his footwork is flat and he holds on his punches these days due to the fear of being KO’d again. Although with the evidence we’ve seen with the Davison link up he looks a lot better and I think he may even beat Usyk now if they fought tomorrow
Usyk isn’t an elite heavyweight he’s too small, he struggled with Chisora until Chisora gassed, got lucky vs a raw novice like Dubois that the punch was deemed low when it wasn’t, even in his first fight against the journeyman heavyweight he wasn’t great
So fury’s not wrong, I’m surprised how many people actually think this is even a 50-50 fight. Fury will lean on him bully him physically tire him and then when he lands flush which he will as a result he’ll stop him
Usyk will do well for about 6 rounds with his dancing and elusively then it’s done when it takes its toll.
Fury is an elite heavyweight, Usyk is an elite cruiserweight
There’s only one winner

Fury has also said that his toughest fight of his career wasnt Wider, it was Washington.... cos he was so small mobile slippery and tough to pin down.
If you believe anything that comes out Fury's mouth then more fool you.
A year ago he was saying that he would never fight AJ under any circumstances last night he was saying he will fight him twice.

Usyk isn't too small lol. He's a bonafide Heavyweight now and is fully adapted to the weight class. If Fury thinks otherwise then he's dreaming and is in for a nasty surprise.
Usyk is the same height and weight as the likes of Muhammad Ali were when they fought. Was Ali too small as well then ? It's pure nonsense.

It's an excellent promo and a stacked card.

Didn't see Garcia beating Haney but there was spectacular striking from him. He doesn't get the title because he was 3.2 KG overweight which is a bit of a disgrace so tarnishes the win.
