We are getting closer to possibly the greatest fight in the modern era of boxing, Fury Vs Usuk, which will unify the following belts: WBC (Fury) and WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO (Usyk). So unless the fight ends with a draw, we will see the first undisputed heavyweight champion in over 20 years.
An interesting face-off style interview popped up 3 days ago:

I like this form of interview as it allows to assess who is more confident and has a mental advantage. I think it's clear that Fury appeared to be mentally dominating, but it's hard to imagine anyone being better than him in this element.

Not only that, it will be one of the most interesting games. but that will also be very historical. as you said fury appeared to be mentally dominating. but Usyk has more belts. so it is really hard to predict anything about this game.
I am gonna try my best to watch this match live. but I am definitely going to watch the highlights if I miss that by chance.

Right, I don't know when was the last time that we have seen a HW unification fight. If my memory serves me right we haven't seen since like in the 80's as when the Klitscho brothers dominated this division, they obviously doesn't want to fight each other. And so we can trace back the lineal HW champion to Fury himself when he beat once of the Klitscho before his first retirement due to mental issues. And there is a promo that is worth watching as well, that added more hype to this fight. Fury though is the slight favorite but it's really hard to predict, as he is the physical dominant boxer between the two, but Usyk is quicker and more agile in my opinion.
