Usyk or Tyson – who wins?

 I found it hard to bet against Usyk the first time and I would have to go with him in the rematch.

I'd expect a much more bullish Fury, but then again we saw a bullish AJ second time around and that didn't go well.

So, I'd expect Usyk to weather the storm, frustrate Fury, just like he's done to everyone else. Then prey on a tired Fury in the second half of the fight, accumulating the rounds and taking it by decision once again!

The first fight was razor close.

It seems Fury is coming in heavier which comes at a risk. I think Usyk stops Fury late.

Having to interview both fighters, I’ll be a serial fence sitter.

Oleksandr Usyk is obviously the favourite after last time out but Tyson Fury can never be written off.

I think if he imposes himself, and boxes like the bigger man on the front foot, there’s a path to victory for Fury.

Who would you want to see each fighter face in 2025?

If Usyk wins I want to see him retire, he has nothing left to prove in my eyes, however if you were to push me for a fight then the Daniel Dubois rematch would be tasty, since we're seeing Dubois 2.0 nowadays.

Then regardless if Fury wins or loses of course the AJ fight is the one we all want, but I'd also like to see him against Zhilei Zhang because with his scary power and southpaw stance, that could be very interesting.

There are so many great fights at heavyweight.

I think Daniel Dubois has earned his shot to rematch Usyk.

I’d like to see Tyson Fury vs. AJ. This has to happen before both men retire! 

The Stomping Ground

It all depends on the outcome on Saturday, Tyson Fury just HAS to fight Anthony Joshua next year, it would be a tragedy if both of them hung up the gloves without sharing the ring just once.

As for Usyk, he has fought the lot, he does not need to prove himself anymore. What more will there be to do? Maybe a Fury trilogy if he loses…

What other big fight would you love to see made in 2025?

Propa Boxing

It may not be the biggest fight all year but in 2025 I'd love to see Johnny Fisher against David Adeleye, assuming Johnny comes through Dave Allen of course.

That fight gives AJ vs. Whyte vibes from 2015 and with both men carrying big power no way does it go 12 rounds.

Also, I've got to throw this in, assuming Wilder is coming back then how's about Fabio Wardley versus Deontay Wilder...carnage.

Not Just Boxing

I’d like to see Bud Crawford attempt to become a three-weight undisputed champion by the end of 2025.

Crawford versus Murtazaliev and, if he wins that one, then Crawford against Fundora for undisputed honours. 

The Stomping Ground

My dream fight for 2025 would be Gervonta 'Tank' Davis versus Shakur Stevenson.

Another one I’m not sure we will ever see after Tank’s recent comments, but what a fight that would be.

Which other fight on the Reignited card are you most excited to watch?

Propa Boxing

I'm really excited to see Moses Itauma against Demsey McKean .

It's going to tell us everything we need to know about Itauma because it's a huge step up and McKean is very experienced and durable.

One of the best prospects in the world is on the Usyk vs. Fury 2 card. Moses Itauma.

I am excited to see him step up against Demsey McKean and showcase his ability. The hype is real.
