Wilder/Fury coming soon?

Fury at his best is no huge risk for Wilder. Boxing is about match-ups. There is this huge myth created about Fury because of his fight with Wlad. It was one fight - people act like he has not been dropped or touched with punches. Wlad is no Wilder. The former was gun shy in the match against Fury because Fury had messed with his head. That unfortunately is part of boxing - but that fight was one of the worst ones we have seen in a very long time. Even the Parker-AJ fight is much better. Fury will seek to avoid Wilder for 12 rounds - not impossible, but highly improbable. Wilder will not be gun shy. Fury has no power. Fury is 6'9" and Wilder is 6'7". Watching them stand up close shows they are physically closely matched. Fury is the better technical boxer - Wilder seems the better fighter. No, Fury isn't overrated off the Wlad performance. He has the best feet from any of the top HWs and is legitimately tough to fight. Super awkward and big, so yeah it won't be easy for anyone.

Says the big fat bragging cherry picker who won't even fight a heavyweight ranked in the top 100. His next cherry pick is ranked 119th by boxrec and nobody else ranks him at all. He calls AJ a disgrace to try to goad him into fighting him. He wants to cherry pick his way to a big payday with AJ. He won't come to the States and get KOed by Wilder. That's just BS talk. Who cares if he is fighting bums while overweight and not fully fit? He's fighting 4 fights this year in the space of six months to get back in shape, back-to-back camps, he will get better each time and so will the opponents.

Not happening and if it does it’d be a joke. Fury is in no position to be fighting a champion after 1 fight in 3 years against a cruiser weight and being in bad shape. Can guarantee that if it was talk of Fury v Joshua then half of the forum would be up in arms about cherry picking. Fury needs at least another year or two to be both physically fit and fighting fit. What is this talk of a year or even 2 years to get in fighting shape? the guy has been training the whole year and fighting back-to-back for the first time in his career. Fury will be ready by early next year. He plans to fight another 2 fights this year after his next one, and he will, the last one being Charr most likely. He could then have a break over Christmas and bet back training in January, 12 week camp, and starting it close to fighting weight. He will be ready for Wilder March/April time.

Of course it is a huge risk to Wilder. Fury at his best is likely the favorite over everyone. But for Wilder this is a big money fight and it is yet to be determined if Fury will ever get back to form. In reality, Wilder's team will just be using Fury to gain more negotiation pull vs Joshua.

Don't see this fight happening. Both guys are quite delusional. Fury is not going to be ready for a serious fight for at least half a year and he won't take this fight for less than 20M. Wilder can't offer that, moreover he'll be asking for at least 60-40 or more like 70-30 in his favour as Fury has no belts. It's all just big talk with these two guys, nothing's going to materialize in the end.

Lol, I have zero hope of this fight happening. Fury isn’t fighting anyone significant for the next 18 months, not whilst he is with Warren anyway. And when he does he would do what every fighter does.... chase Joshua for the bigger payday.

I don't care what anyone says, if Fury takes the Wilder fight it's a huge risk for Wilder. I see him getting outboxed easy and losing his bargaining chip (the belt) and then nobody will touch him. If Wilder is looking to fight him and take advantage of him being out of the ring then he is badly underestimating how good Fury can be. Of course it is a huge risk to Wilder.

Fury needs at least two more fights. I think he fights AJ before he ever fights Wilder. It would be a much bigger fight in UK. Can’t afford to wait two more fights. He’s too volatile and really all he needs is three training camps.

They're the only two champions with a common goal anyway. Joshua is focused on that billion and he's not even ready to challenge Wilder yet. So I could see a three fight deal, two tune ups for Fury and two solid fights for Wilder, starting in November 2018 and gravitating towards a December 2019 Showtime PPV unification, $30 million guaranteed to Fury against 50%, for the lineal and WBC belt... Then the winner negotiates with Joshua in early 2020, provided Joshua still has the belts, is ready to unify and is ready to negotiate in good faith. Joshua fans won't care: they will support any Joshua fight with any fighter, win or lose... But real boxing fans would have a real slew of fights with real stakes for the next 18 months, none of this "risk-free" crap...

I've said it, this fight makes sense for both. Fury clearly changed target after the 50 million thing. Wilder would gadly take his name for the resume. It will take some 2 fights for Fury to be able to make it a fight. He would be ready for april. I can see them putting the fight on the same day as Joshua's fight

Let Team Wilder show Tyson Fury the $50Mil and he'll travel to Las Vegas and accept it in a heart beat. It's just the difference between the two fighters. Moreover, he is a much more difficult and tougher style match up for Deontay Wilder than Anthony Joshua. For a big man he knows how to move around the ring and is very elusive. He won't stand still for a good shot. Therefore, Wilder would have trouble timing him. He'll have his hands full trying to catch him.

One can say they what they will about Tyson Fury but the man doesn't lack for courage. He'll fight anybody at anytime. He's a throwback Jack Dempsey type fighter.

Is fury going to hire another 40 year old cruiserweight to take a dive for his next fight? Or does he atleast plan to fight a top 100 ranked actual heavyweight?

Fight makes sense for both Wilder and Fury Wilder is the longest reigning champion , Firy the guy that beat the man when it mattered The winner is the new #1 HW AJ and Hearn can keep their straps and fight the Whyte rematches and Millers while claiming they want the fights

It would equally be a big risk for fury too. Both make the real big money against Joshua and for the winner it will make that payday bigger but for the loser they have probably just lost out on a huge income! I can’t see either realistically risking themselves before the joshua fight

I said a few weeks back that Wilder could use fighting Fury next to get more negotiation pull with Joshua. That would be disaster for Hearn in the short term as he really needs Wilder/Joshua on DAZN. I don't care what anyone says, if Fury takes the Wilder fight it's a huge risk for Wilder. I see him getting outboxed easy and losing his bargaining chip (the belt) and then nobody will touch him. If Wilder is looking to fight him and take advantage of him being out of the ring then he is badly underestimating how good Fury can be.

doesnt fury have a fight vs some random already signed? Yeah, I was thinking it could happen end of the year or early next year.

Fury comes out with so much ****e. But more importantly , the chances of wilder taking on a credible opponent? Haha To be serious for a moment - it would be silly for fury to fight Joshua or wilder now, he clearly needs to fight a couple proper build up fights, the likes of Molina or stiverne. Easy wins but more than just a nobody. I agree that Fury needs a few fights first, maybe early next year? March/April time he'll be good to go. That means Wilder has another option if Joshua doesn't give him the deal he wants for that April fight.
