Hearn and AJ must be laughing themselves silly right now, while Wilder must be wondering what does it take to get a fight with one of these jokers. If Fury's just gonna be talking shit, let him flounder around, fighting the next bum on the list, and leave the boxing headlines alone. Stupid f*ck.
Where has he backed off though? You can't believe it just because Fat Dan and the Sun 'have heard a rumour' and Eddie Hearn 'doubts it will happen'.




I was going off posts I read on the thread. Should've checked the sources, tho. If it was Fat Dan who claimed that, then I should've known it was Fake News.

After all, Fat Dan had Beltran and Pedraza even in last night's fight.

Fat Dan is a disgrace to boxing journalism. Why ESPN even keeps him around is beyond me.
Because people get lazy and used to those who are there. Why people would read garbage like the Sun baffles me too. Fury has pulled out of fights before so I can understand why it would seem plausible but one of this magnitude would truly leave him with egg on his face and believe me that would not go down well here or with his family and community. Kings don't back pedal off away for a challenge like this.

I think his ability to be under estimated is his strongest attribute. The art of not being hit when you are such a huge fella is much harder to execute and he does it brilliantly at times. Might be ugly to watch but it is even more important in the ungloved tradition he is a continuation of. It's no coincidence. He can certainly make Wilder look like a mug. Whether he can do that for 12 rounds and not get laid out is another thing but it will be interesting to find out.
