Wilder v Fury - Deal almost done for December

[Alpha]

Yea I was meaning if they get in the way, Miller may get the April date over Wilder.

Whyte is still #1 with the WBC I think. That fight might happen before AJ. Or Whyte may rematch AJ before Wilder gets a shot.

Fury should be looking at Bellew or Chisora for the end of the year.

Pulev is floating about, I think he was still in line for an eliminator.

There is also the elephant in the room that is Charr vs Oquendo, someone is going to have to eventually clean that mess up.

“I believe 100 per cent that this fight is going to happen and it’s going to get done," Wilder, who is undefeated in 40 fights with 39 knockouts, said of the Fury match-up. "We’re very, very close. Closer than Joshua and me could ever get in a lifetime.

"It’s definitely gonna happen, there’s no doubt. There’s just a little more work to be done."

“Me and Fury, we talked with each other back and forth; I think he’s a great guy, we have a relationship together, and my team has a relationship with his team," Wilder told The Ring.

Chisora wants Whyte who wants Wilder who wants AJ who wants Fury.

Maybe Finkel, Wilder, Warren and Fury have formed a little gang and made this whole thing up?

I'm glad Wilder's finally talking about it, since I believe about 0.000001% of what Fury shovels. If that's true, Fury had better make good use of his tuneup against Pianeta....... he's gonna need it.

I thought Miller had made the move to swerve Pulev in eliminator so he can get wba winner? The thought of a 'young' undefeated top Miller facing a 4 yr out Fres Oquendo sounds like a major step backwards for American heavyweights .

Would love to see Whyte in big again right away. Not a AJ rematch though for AJs momentum sake.

I'm late to this so not read the full thread but this December too soon for Fury surely - like at least a year too soon.

If he takes it it suggests to me one of two things...

i) he's cashing in for a 10 million + pay day retirement plan and conning us all he wants to get back to the top. He could blame the defeat on it being too soon and then cash in more with an AJ fight next year too...

or

ii) he's actually fooling us all and is in awesome shape and back to his best already despite ring rust !


If this December I favour it 80-20 Wilder.

Rather he took Bellew in December

Either way Fury will sell it for sure

[TitoFan]

If those are my only two choices........ "I'll take (i) for $500, Alex"

Seriously.... if he loses to Wilder, blames it on coming back too soon, and STILL cons fans into a mega-payday against AJ........

Well, you know what they say about a fool and his money.

If the fight was to happen and Fury did win would it be seen as an amazing feat for someone who has only fought 2 bums in 3 years or would people say Wilder was exposed?

Wilder seems 100% it's a goer...

“It could be wrapped up next week,” Wilder said. “Or it could be wrapped up [Friday]. We’re that close. This has been the easiest negotiation I’ve ever been in, dealing with a fight of this magnitude. That just lets you know this fight will happen. I don’t see nothing that will stop this fight from happening, nothing at all.”

If this does happen and Fury manages to pull off a win it'll be a fucking masterstroke in the art of gatecrashing the party.
Wilder is supposedly doing the commentary for BT Sports at the Frampton/Fury night so maybe we'll get an announcement Then?

I like this fight stylewise too so fingers crossed we get it. 😎

I'll have a go at that one too, since I'm answering all Fury-related questions.


Answer is "B", Wilder was exposed.


To expand. If Wilder loses to a "fat fuck" (someone else's description but I like it) with two laughable tuneups "fights" (quotation marks for a reason) after imploding following his horrific win over Wladimir Klitschko and falling off the cliff of professional boxing....................... YEAH............... I'd say with pretty much certainty it was that Wilder was exposed.

If Fury pulled this off then you do have to give him some credit, and it was me that called him that.

But on the flipside of that if a big fat fuck with only 2 easy tune up fights coming off a 3 year drink, drug and depression problem, losing 7 stone along the way does beat Wilder on US soil, does that not make him an excellent fighter?
I think Wilder is too fast and athletic to not land some massive right hands on Fury at times and Fury ain't exactly a hard hitter who's power makes an opponent think twice about attacking him, it's his freakish height, reach and slippery awkward style that gets him results.
Furys chin is still a bit suspect when it boils down to it and if Wilder is able to land his right hand Furys in trouble.
It's a great mix of fucked up wild styles that intruiges me as a fan.
