This weekend it's Usyk Fury 2...
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would enjoy having a pint or a spliff with either of them, and I don't think they could bring anything to the party.
That said, I'd like to see Usky win for 1 reason.
When Fury came onto the boxing scene, he flew the Irish tricolour. Today, he flies under a butcher's apron.....Fuck him....
