Tyson Fury vs Tom Schwarz - 15/7/19 - BT Sports/ESPN - Las Vegas

[smashup]

Anyone else starting to think Fury might have a tougher night than he thinks?

The Heavyweight divisions young guns should all be inspired after what Ruiz did to Joshua the other week

Potential banana skin?

Remote chance this could be for the WBO title which Ruiz could be stripped of if the WBO choose before Saturday, can't see it happening but nothing in boxing surprises me these days.

"I'm hearing now that it could be on the line on Saturday night," Fury told Press Association Sport. "That's inside information so maybe I shouldn't have said that, though I've said it now anyway, so maybe it'll be on the line on Saturday night.
"There is a chance. It's highly doable, so I've been told, so maybe it'll be for the WBO championship as well.
"When you're the lineal champion that's as big as it gets. It doesn't get any bigger than that. It doesn't matter how many belts (the other heavyweights) have got; they've got to beat Tyson Fury to be number one.
"(If not) the winner of me and Tom Schwarz will be mandatory for the WBO, because it's number three and number two (in the rankings) fighting each other."

Of course the WBO will strip Ruiz, Fury is with Top Rank and the WBO belt is theirs. Fraudulent as fraudulent can be.

Interesting how the promo poster shows Schwartz as a comparative monster next to Fury. Never mind that Fury is almost 4 inches taller.

Boxing hype takes on some interesting forms.

A focused Fury sweeps the floor with this chap. Schwartz ain't no Ruiz.

Another upset would be sweet. Tyson won't take risks

I feel like this fight is purely a yardstick to see whether Fury has any newfound drawing power in the states. His first fight in Vegas against a totally unknown German fighter, it doesnt make a lot of sense. The trouble is, as someone else said, Fury isnt really suited to showcase fights as a non puncher who has been in his share of stinkers. He does look fit and sharp from the little training footage Ive seen, so hopefully he can impress and help his stock.

What a shame if they strip Ruiz, but not surprising if they choose.
@TitoFan LOL, yeah, the ad makes it look like they're the same in height & build.
