Comments Thread For: Klitschko Waits on Word From The Sanctioning Bodies on Fury

[BoxingFan85]

Can't blame anybody but the Gypsys this time..

Yeah REAL fight fans want to see a HW champion fight 3, 4 times a year but not tomato cans like Wilder. Fury is Garge, he only wants to fight once every 2 years. Joshua is the real HW champion

Deontay Wilder is the the only legitimate champion - he beat a real champion in Stiverne like it or not! and his resume is better than Joshua period!

Wlad should fight Luis Ortiz in the mean time.

[TexasCowBoy]

Wlad vs wilder

It will be interesting to see what the bodies do. The WBA tourney has been a disaster so far. With 2 cancellations, 1 retirement & a failed drug test & one guy who hasn't fought in over 2 years who got his title shot via court battle. Ortiz dropped out of his fight with Ustinov & is rumoured to be out of the WBA rankings altogether. He was the #1 ranked guy. So what is left Klitschko/Ustinov on one side & Browne/Oquendo on the other. But if Fury gets stripped Wlad won't be eligible for both titles because he will either have to choose the WBA tourney or fight Andy Ruiz (If #1 Parker stays IBF route) for the vacant WBO title. Now Ruiz has promotional problems so who knows when he will fight? That leaves Haye as the next eligible WBO contender. Parker is #1 in WBO & he could end up fighting for vacant WBO title if he doesn't land Joshua. Either way it looks like Parker is the #1 guy in 2 organizations & will have a choice of Klitschko or Haye for the WBO. If he goes the IBF route then he has Joshua. Parker is in a great financial position. If Fury gets stripped or he vacates there will be chaos. The guys who stand to lose the most are Ortiz & Ruiz for dropping out of fights. The funniest thing about this is Haye could be fighting for a vacant title next if Wlad stays in WBA tourney & Parker goes the IBF route. Parker is in the best position of any HW at the moment.

Did you ever think we would get Haye/Wlad 2 for a vacant world title? Because it's in play now lol. And good job outlining the situation Joe, craziness may be near in the heavyweight division

For all the bluster about so called "gypsy bottle" all that's ever heard from "team fury" is how they're going to win their battles in court.

Fighting man, my arse.

Anyone else guessing this 'medical condition' is something mental?

hmmm, I'm wondering how true that is.

Ortiz's side said they won't fight because of lack of drug testing. Does that still fall back on Ortiz though?

[Earl-Hickey]

Fight happens before December 31 or Fury is stripped!

Wladdy vs. Joshua in 2017 to determine the new owner of the belts.

No

The belts should all be give to wilder and Wlad v joshua for the right to face wilder
