WBA says Fury or Wlad fights Ortiz in September

[Tam Seddon]

Update: Browne progresses in WBA tourney, edges closer to full title | World Boxing News

Who wins that one? Ortiz dominated as expected. Fury has even said Ortiz is the one to look out for.

Here's the fight if you missed it

Browne loses to the other 3 easily. If Wlad can't do a lot better than he did against Fury the first time, he won't win and should retire without ever fighting anyone else, obviously. Fury-Ortiz is a very interesting fight and as legitimate a championship fight as the division has to offer, imo.

I think fury would be able to keep away from ortiz and would take advantage of the height difference, I thought ortiz looked surprisingly short againts tony thompson who is meant to be 6foot 5 and a half... It's possible that ortiz catches fury though and puts him in major trouble. It would be the most interesting fight at heavyweight i think, I hope ortizs get a shot at the full title and nothing stupid happens in between.

I vote fury by UD

Fury and Wlad have not even settled on a date or venue yet. Last I read, it might end up in the UAE no doubt to save a few tax dollars and perhaps at some point in the summer. I've seen May mentioned so if that's the case they better announce it soon. Most likely a 6 to 8 week camp. According to their own bracket, Ortiz needs to fight Ustinov. Browne has a date with Fres. A man that's been robbed more times then Wells Fargo. Why would the WBA once again announce something like this? Don't they know about their own tournament?

Wlad is taking the piss with the Fury rematch. Be better if he fucked off into retirement.

Fury-Ortiz is a much more appealing match.

[erics44]

it is my opinion that wlad should have fucked off years ago, what a cunt he is

although it was nice to see him lose

I got a bad feeling that Wlad will retire and leave Fury high and dry. Fury is the champ and should tell Wlad to go forth and multiply.

These contenders are picking up the scraps and claiming they are the champions.

Tyson has said its looking like July.

The problem they have is finding a venue big enough that they can make the most money out of, probably meaning they are almost tendering the fight out to venues and looking for the best deal from a venue then trying to match up available venue dates with TV dates.

Its all still on apparently.

Hennesey also mentioned that Vitali is also fired up so maybe there is something about a potential future Vitali fight?

[erics44]

they could do the first 6 in one and the last 6 in another

or 3 stadiums with three fours

Khan-Canelo took their May 7 date (UK PPV) and the British venue being considered is the MEN. Would have thought Fury-Wlad could do a little more than 20,000 in this country (obviously it wont be here).

the venue for canelo khan is not yet decided?

[Fenster]

No. I've heard the York Hall is in the running

[erics44]

shiiit

that would be a coup for the management there wouldn't it

the fight might be better at the York hall anyway because everyone knows the smaller the hall the better the fight

[Spicoli]

Seems like it'll be a time crunch with the wba tourney having 4 trinket fights lined up in six months. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ustinov come up 'injured' or sidelined as it seems a pointless fight with names above. With Wilder v Povetkin finally made, Ortiz vs Wlad - Fury winner is all that matters.
