We’ve all been there: you promise yourself you’ll stay awake, then you blink, and it’s 11:15 PM, and the fight is already in the third round. Don’t be that person.
Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk undisputed heavyweight fight to be shown
Here’s a pro tip: set a reminder for 9:30 PM to get your snacks ready. That way, you’re not scrambling for crisps when the announcer is already shouting names.
Also, consider a power nap on Saturday afternoon. I know it sounds lazy, but trust me—your future self, jumping off the sofa at midnight, will thank you.
A quick story about the last time
Last Fury fight, my neighbour Dave texted me at 10:15 PM: “Is it on yet?” I replied, “Mate, he’s still doing the national anthem.” Dave then admitted he’d already eaten his entire pizza and was “emotionally spent.”
Don’t be Dave. Pace yourself. You’ve got a long, glorious night ahead.
The key is to treat it like a mini marathon, not a sprint. You wouldn’t run a 5K without a warm-up, so why jump straight into the main event?
