Fury v Wlad Off

[Freedom]

Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko re-match OFF with Gypsy King having suffered another injury setback

[powerpuncher]

I'm not British but i was never all that excited for the rematch anyways. I kept forgetting that the fight was even happening. Fury is the stereotypical athlete who gets his big paycheck then stops working.

[Primo Carnera]

I could be way off the mark , but the way the statement was worded , I reckon this could be something to do with his Bi-Polar issues. The guy is mentally unhinged, and I reckon this is all gonna come out pretty soon.
statements like "allowing him and his family privacy at this time" and "medically unfit" aren't what comes out when you turn your ankle Or have a pulled muscle in your back for example.

I saw an interview with Eddie Hearn recently, and he seemed to feel the fight was likely not going to happen. Was there any proof Fury was injured the first time he pulled out, wasn't there talk about ticket sales being poor then? What was expected to change if so? Whole situation seems weird. I can see thinking mental issues if they wont release any other details, but that also seems like a convenient way to scrap the thing over money.

Apparently Fury has had a nervous breakdown and is undergoing psychiatric care. According to ESPN's Dan Rafael, he may need to be placed in a mental institution.

I just hope someone else can fight Wlad for the titles. I wouldn't mind seeing Ustinov-Klitschko for the WBA. Or for the WBO, perhaps #1 Parker or someone else could fight Wlad.

Am I the only one that reads the apologist and finds his incessant excuse making so shameful that it seems embarrassing for our entire species?

[Spicoli]

You can only go to the well so many times before fans really couldn't give a flying feck. Wasn't the most stimulating rematch in the first place and now they could both retire tomorrow and I wouldn't miss a thing. One really wouldn't fully apply himself while holding the position and the other is evidently finding the position to much to maintain. Done with em.

[Dark Lord Al]

face it fury is a gypsy made good with pots of money , I doubt he will fight again.

[Dark Lord Al]

fury has done a david haye and pulled out twice , he is a chump who slagged of Haye and now he does exactly the same.

The first sentence is key in this tweet. "With Tyson's condition, he cannot be held culpable."
I think we're definitely talking about a mental rather than physical condition here. Not everyone is gonna feel the same way, but I feel for him and wish him well.
The Boxing doesn't come into it really, his health is most important, and deep down, I reckon he's quite a nice bloke.

If Tyson is not mentally right then he needs to be treated and that is all that matters.

[ross]

To be fair if it is a mental issue can you imagine being in his shoes for the last year?

The hate and constant hounding by the media and even boxing "fans" on social media etc.

A statement is being made Tuesday and Bayloric have done an interview with Peter Fury this morning that will be released after.

Again, he has not bottled it at all. You dont do what Tyson did and treat the Klitschkos on their own show in Germany the way Tyson did if you have no bottle. Plenty went to Germany and just accepted defeat. Some even excused themselves with broken toes

You dont beat someone so easily and comprehensively then suddenly get scared to fight the same opponent.

[Dark Lord Al]

Fury showed guts to go to germany last time out , but money and no brain have taken away his desire and bottle.He wont fight again and will be stripped.Look forward to years of fury telling us he is the linear champion even though he has no desire or intention to fight.The Terry Marsh syndrome , retire before you get beaten. In furys case he will just hang around like a bad smell.

[Silkeyjoe]

Rumours on Twittter is that he tried to commit suicide. Very sad news if true. Hope he can bounce back.

[superheavyrhun]

The rumour mill has definitely been going into overdrive with this one, I think we need to wait and actually see what confirmation comes from the Fury camp about what the condition is. Whatever it is, I hope Tyson does fully recover and gets in the right place to fight again. However, I also see that Eddie Hearn has been on twitter saying that they have contacted the Klitschko camp about a possible November fight between Wlad and Antony Joshua. Definitely a good replacement in my mind.
