He was naiive and played right into the other fellas hands.

Although it didn't mean a lot in terms of belts and titles it did Fury no favours whatsoever and probably given Usyk even more confidence of beating Fury when (if) they get it on.

If I was Fury's team I'd pull him out of the pre-Christmas scheduled fight (if they haven't already done so) and get Fury fit for spring next year.
The fight wont happen in December. Fury got a cut so that'll be the reason they'll use. It's 8 weeks, not long enough. I reckon March or April. There's no way Fury took this seriously, he was slow, constantly missing with his hooks, and was very wary after the knockdown. He looked shot, and he was blowing out of his arse. Credit to Ngannou though, he looked decent, good footwork, which is always a massive problem for people who come over to boxing from another discipline, and he wasn't buying Fury's feints. Fury needs to sort himself out, I still believe he can beat usyk, but he needs to live better if he is to have any chance. He's been pissing about for too long, and i reckon that the knockdowns by wilder have aged him as a fighter.
