The ‘Ring of Fire’ event is underway, with the undercards set to start soon. As fans around the world prepare for this epic clash, Lil Wayne’s fiery message to Fury has added a new layer of excitement.
As the historic undisputed heavyweight clash approaches, Lil Wayne didn’t hold back his expectations for Fury. In a short video posted from a dinner table, the rapper exclaimed, “Whoop his motherfking a. Usyk? Who’s Usyk? Who you fighting? Who you should be shadow boxing? Kick his motherfking a.” The clip, shared by Happy Punch on their X feed, quickly went viral, intensifying the pre-fight buzz.
It’s intriguing to see Lil Wayne so firmly in Fury’s corner. The tension among fans of both fighters is palpable, and while the actual fight could go either way, the battle between supporters is fierce. Early predictions from various personalities have only added to the anticipation.
Ahead of the fight, the BBC checked in with several combat sports figures for their predictions. The legendary Lennox Lewis, who was the last undisputed heavyweight champion in 1999, favors Fury, stating, “I think Tyson Fury should win it by points.”
On the other hand, Tony Bellew, a former opponent of Usyk, sided with the Ukrainian. Bellew, who lost to Usyk in 2018 via an 8th-round TKO, believes, “Usyk wins on points. If the judges read the fight properly and judge it properly, I can see it being a unanimous decision. The only way I see it getting close is if we have incompetent judging.”
“Whoop his motherf**king a**. Usyk? Who’s Usyk? Who you fighting? Who you should be shadow boxing? Kick his morherf**king a**.”
Two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor also weighed in, showing a slight preference for Usyk but acknowledging Fury’s capabilities. “Usyk is a crafty, crafty boxer. If anybody can do it, maybe Usyk can do it. Tyson is also a crafty boxer, plus he has the size. Tyson is a tough man to beat in the boxing arena,” McGregor said.
TKO, noted, “Usyk wins on points. If the judges read the fight properly and judge it properly, I can see it being a unanimous decision. The only way I see it getting close is if we have incompetent judging.”
Evander Holyfield, another heavyweight legend, sees the fight as a toss-up, putting the onus on Usyk to perform. “It can go either way. It all depends if Usyk fights the right fight,” he noted.
Oscar De La Hoya, a prominent figure in boxing, sided with Fury, citing his physical advantages. “Tyson Fury is the bigger version of Usyk. He has speed. He has power. He’s very versatile. I have to go with Tyson,” said the ‘Golden Boy’.
As the world waits for the ring walk at 1 a.m. in Riyadh (11 p.m. in the UK, 6:05 p.m. ET/3:05 p.m. PT in the US), the predictions and opinions continue to fuel the excitement. With so much riding on this fight, it remains to be seen who will walk away as the undisputed champion.
