He could've retired after his last fight. Maybe he'll even end up with regret in not doing so but he's a man of his word. Fury and Usyk have a two-fight deal. He also honored the Joshua fight rematch clause. His age is a concern but I think he'll end up retiring soon anyway. He turns 38 next month. Fury's 36.
That curious Split Decision result was what happened in his rematch against Joshua. Apparently if the B-side has to win, only give it to them by a hair. That way the A-side's stock won't drop as much.
Same here but he already reached his goal. That was to become undisputed in a second weight class. Usyk told us exactly what he would do last time only cryptically. This time he's saying the same thing, "I will not leave you alone", and is walking around dressed up as Agent 47 from Hitman. So, as far as we can tell, he's going to try like hell to take it out of the judges' hands. Like you said if he does manage to get Fury out of there it'll probably be in the late rounds.

Starting fast & rather aggressive could potentially pay off but it's definitely risky. Fury could punch himself out and wind up a sitting duck or walk face first into a counter that levels him. I think his best strategy is probably just to mix it up. Keep it long by using his superior range. Usyk struggled a bit with his long guard last time while Fury was actively using it. When Usyk does inevitably get inside Fury should try and impose his size to the fullest, lean on him (wasn't that effective last time but he needs to be more assertive), and also be pretty dirty in there.
