Just came here to post that very story, wonder what team Fury are playing at, if true that is.

Ross have you got any ideas, your always pretty clued up with the goings on at team fury

[Fenster]

Yeah I wonder what ross thinks? It wont be something like Wlad is ducking him by any chance.

This whole rematch is a shower of shit. They couldn't sell tickets at the MEN, Fury pulls out with a dodgy ankle then days later is seen partying, doping allegations and now going to court over the contract.

Must be the worst momentum for a heavyweight champ ever. Will he even fight this year?

I posted this earlier with my thoughts in the what happened to Wlad thread.

Why would Tyson try and alter the contract? The fight was signed and sealed, if anyone would try and worm out of the fight its Wlad. Hes already had Boente try and get UKAD to suspend him to get out of the fight and now this rubbish. You can bet your bottom dollar that Hearn and Boente have been nogotiating for Wlad to take the easier route back to a tile against Joshua.

Been out of the loop on this one but not really sure what's going on.

The rematch - if goes ahead - is still end October in Manc right ?

It's shit like this happening that puts me out of the loop eg I can't be arsed keeping track of it all any more.

Does this sort of stuff happen in UFC ??

The UFC is only one promotional company. Like Eddie Hearns Matchroom fighting each other.

Any of the UFC fighters would only be a champion of the UFC like having a Matchroom champion.

Presumably most of a boxers contract is fulfilled on the night right? What venue, what size ring, what rules, what gloves etc etc.

Im confused as to what part of the contract Fury could have possibly violated at this point in time?

Makes no sense.

Ah I was actually looking for the Fury v Klit thread, that'll be why I missed it

Two sticking points:

1. Fury won't do VADA testing
2. Fury wants to change the financial terms of the contract

He wont do testing yeah? But gets regularly random tested anyway?

Being tested doesn't mean he passed the tests ross in fact he apparently did NOT pass the test which is why he's in the situation he finds himself.

[Ron Swanson]

Fury has been an embarrassment as champion in every imaginable way.

[p4pking]

They may as well televise the court proceedings and air them instead of the rematch, couldn't be any worse.

[Primo Carnera]

I don't think the testing is the main sticking point. The way I see it, if you're clean, why do you give a fuck about what type of test you take? The only thing I can think of is "showing who the boss is! "
What probably happened was that Fury was so concerned with winning the first fight that he didn't really take notice of the financial points of the rematch if he did win.
Now he's probably thinking,
a. I'm the fucking champ now, I should be taking a bigger slice of the cake . And
b. Joshua is earning shit loads of dough, yet I'm the main man, "the man that beat the man!" I should be earning that!
If this is what has happened, then you can understand his frustration, but a contract is a contract, and Fury is risking missing out on the gravy train if he doesn't fight and stay relevant.

He did pass the test though. It wasnt a negative result!
