Tyson Fury: pulled out the morning of the his scheduled fight with Alexander Ustinov without claiming an injury, said he had to visit his uncle who had been in hospitalized for some time


and the WORST for backing out of fights, winner of the Duck Award:

David Haye: Backed out of a HBO Wladimir Klitschko fight in June 2009, pulled out of a HBO Vitali Klitschko fight in August 2009, backed out of a fight with Manuel Charr in 2013, and pulled out with short notice TWICE for PPV fights with Tyson Fury later in 2013.








I agree with you... and it only makes a sorry division even sorrier. Personally, I lost my interest in the heavyweights years ago. It's only out pure morbosity that I watch any HW fights at all.


But I feel for you. You're the "torch-carrier" for the division, constantly giving up updates and headlines. Do a pretty good job, too. Wish we had a better division for you to carry the torch for.
