Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder 3

[TitoFan]

Just from reading some of the more recent posts, it appears some of the holes are getting bigger in Fury's façade.

Lots of head games... infuriating periods of inactivity... fighting blokes from the bottom of the heavyweight barrel... and now convenient excuses to postpone a bout because (and I have no problem believing this) preparations weren't going as well as expected.

Was never a fan from the get-go... and his victory over Wlad years ago still stands in my mind as absolutely the worst and most nauseating heavyweight title bout in history. By contrast, Joshua's victory over Wlad was a classic, worthy of the title "Heavyweight Championship Fight."

Fury's a snake-oil salesman, and may very well retire (who the hell knows what this guy's going to do from one moment to the next) while undefeated, and move on to the circus circuit.

Who knows with Fury? As you say mind games. Most of the mind games are however with the promoters and mediascum merchants. You cannot avoid the fact that Fury took on and beat (twice) the most over hyped US heavyweight ever, when nobody else would. The promoters have 'negotiated' a third bout, if the ref and judges are fair then fury wins all day, but who knows? This 3rd bout should never be taking place, its only brought about by corrupt alphabet organisations and the promoters who fund them. The position Fury is in now, he could just as easy say bugger Wilder just pay me the most money to fight Joshua, whereupon Eddie Hearn would be shitting himself, and would make sure the fight never got sanctioned until Fury was 65 years old. That is where the real money deals are being considered, between 'rival' promoters and alphabet merchants, and people wonder why the kids are watching MMA shit as an alternative? Sorry to sit on the fence........

You touched upon the only thing I like about Fury. He was the one who stepped in and grabbed the hot potato being tossed back and forth between Wilder and Joshua in what was a nauseating game of "Oh yeah??" at the expense of boxing fans who were getting sick and tired of all the drama and shenanigans. Joshua lost a golden opportunity to be the first one to beat Wilder... when Fury just stepped in and announced "Enough of this shit, I'll fight you, Wilder."

Agreed, AJ missed a golden opportunity to become undisputed and it would have been an incredible event. I am certain AJ would have knocked out Wilder cold.

I am equally certain that at least 5 out of the top ten contenders would have knocked Wilder out FFS he can't box!!!! Classic case of hype over substance, where was Roy Jones? Would have given him a boxing lesson then put him to sleep.

Deontay Wilder claims Tyson Fury should "burn in hell" over Covid "lie"

Wilder, who has made a number of outlandish claims about Fury in the past, has said that he believes Fury faked his coronavirus diagnosis to push their fight back

Deontay Wilder has doubled down his belief that Tyson Fury faked his coronavirus diagnosis to earn himself more time to train for their trilogy fight.

The former world heavyweight champion insisted on a third bout between the pair despite being thoroughly beaten in their rematch last year.

They were set to square off in July 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to all major boxing, before their later dates were cancelled and Fury ended up moving on to plan a unification bout with Anthony Joshua.

But Wilder wouldn't consider taking another fight, and took his case to arbitration, ultimately having a third bout ordered.

And when Fury contracted coronavirus just weeks out from the July 24 date at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the event was moved to October 9.

“I’m just tired of the lies," Wilder said in an interview with 78SPORTSTV. "That’s all it is, lies.

“That’s what I believe - and a lot of other people do too – the whole world believes it’s nothing but lies and it really sickens me to hear that because so many people have died of COVID.

“People I know have had family members to die of it, to hear others using this as an excuse to get out of something is just horrible man.

“May they burn in hell for that. Especially for something like this."

Wilder was concerned to see Fury out and about in Las Vegas posing for photos with fans just days after their fight was pushed due to his positive diagnosis.

And he thinks that this is enough of a reason to believe that the outbreak was a lie, despite a number of sources confirming that Fury, and a number of his training team, tested positive for a virus.

It is the latest in a string of conspiracy theories about Fury that Wilder has perpetuated, including claims that he tampered with his gloves for their rematch.

“The dude said he had COVID, then the next minute you see him in so many different places," Wilder continued. "It’s just ridiculous.

“He’s been trying to run away from me since July of last year, he’s paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to avoid me.

“They came up with so many excuses to try to avoid me. They contradict themselves so many different times and it’s just ridiculous at this point. You need to put up or shut up.”

Fury, and a number of members of his team, have disputed the theory that the diagnosis was fake, with his coach Andy Lee telling Mirror Fighting last month that he was one of the victims.

"I recently had covid when I was in America," Lee explained. "I was with Tyson and we both got it and the fight got cancelled due to it.

"I had about three or four days of being really tired, but I didn't lose my smell or taste, I had no temperature but it's a serious, serious thing and you don't want it.

"Especially as a sportsperson, it would make you have to pull out of a fight.

"Tyson had the same kind of thing as me, and I feel fine."

And Fury has even said that his Covid-19 diagnosis that cost him the title fight was not the first time he caught the virus.

“That’s the second time I have had Covid now," Fury said. "I had it back in the first lockdown and then I got it again.

“Covid is no joke that’s for sure, I didn’t feel I was totally dying at that point but I certainly wasn’t going to get cleared to fight because I was still positive.

“This virus has killed people all over the world and it is no joke, so people can believe what they want to believe.

“It is just opinions of sheep it doesn’t matter to me, I don’t give a f*** what they believe to be honest.”

Good interview.

And though I've been saying I don't really care any more, because of the messing around there's been for the Joshua fight, I can't help but like the bloke.

[Spicoli]

The lipstick on this pig is the heavyweight undercard being actually very decent. I'd pay money to see Ajagba v Anderson near future. Do have a feeling more and more that the time away will catch up to Fury. Feels like he's on borrowed time a bit.

Wilder seems to genuinely think that Fury is not ready and seems confident that Fury will pull out. He must knows something we do not.

Wilder can be delusional.
