No confirmation from him or anyone in his camp they have covid vuris. Funny how Fury was posting every day until Arum claimed someone in the camp has covid. Now all of a sudden it's complete silence. No comment - maybe Fury has been on another drug bender or an impending VADA visit this week scared him?
Who knows but clearly very few people believe Fury or anyone on his team have covid. I don't expect to see him on social media until the news had died down.
My bad, I didn't mean to insinuate they are both in on it together, just that each party is maneuvering. I'm sure the timing of Wilder stepping in to break up the Fury/AJ was not coincidental. Same thing here.
It always sounded so good as a young fan of the loser, sitting discouraged on the couch - yes! we'll get it in court and get him back in the ring. Yeah. you get a ruling but to get the actual body back into the ring always seemed to take forever. I'd be checking the back pages of the LA times in the boxing section looking for updates, like continuously refreshing today looking for news. I can feel for the Wilder fans who want to reverse it
Aside from all that, this was announced very quickly after the ruling, only 2 weeks after Vegas opened with like 2 month window, probably limited UK fans. Then when Pac-Spence got announced for August, I figure more people will go to that because there is more time to plan and see how Vegas reopened. For me, I have more of an opportunity to go for the trilogy with extra time. AJ/Usyk goes ahead first and then Wilder-Fury can be sold with the idea that unification is next, no more tuneups (if it's Fury). That might help interest a bit.
Fury looked fat and Wilder was looking a little crazy under his sunglasses, seemed off . Just cautious about it - and Fury, as much as I like him, has yet to defend his titles so there is still that playing against his credibility in actually getting into the ring for certain fights he might not feel like at the time. Fury needs to get in a fight before AJ so I think it could still happen. maybe just wants it to be his schedule. The HW championship...still a coveted prize...always a lot of manuvering!
There are possible reasons for them to postpone and hope for more interest... I just don't see them promoting the fight much. I hope they get this fight done... it begs closure
You have the makings of a good theory here IMO, but I think to assume both guys are in on it,enough to stop the fight is somewhat improbable. But lets look at some of the issues here:
1) Promoters are liars... "Arum said they were vacinated, hearn said he didn't know the arbitration could be lost" yada yada... all BS. Your dad was right.
2) the assumption that the fight was dropped... This one is hard for me to fathom... yes it was a financial loser, but sometimes you just take the loss to move past the situation... I don't think they are wanting to postpone this. The fight will never sell much, it is what it is...Makes no sense to have it later...
3) Agree that there may be a desire to kill the fight. Fury might hope for another Arbitration because he cannot fight with the Covid and perhaps ruling that Wilder has to accept a reasonable sum, because the contract is potentially viodable given Fury's alleged condition. I don't know if this is double jeapardy legally speaking. Ifnot, Fury could potentially demand it.

AKA Chicken flu
''But he completely annihilated Wilder in their last fight :lol1:. YDKSAB !!!''
Right
And Fury, under his own free will, signed a contract for a 3rd fight.
Said it was an easy fight for him. Would be even easier the 3rd time
Been putting off that agreed 3rd fight ever since he won :lol1:
If it's so easy, get it over with, yes ?!?!?!
He knows his wingman Kenny Useless will not be available to him and no other ref will let him get away with the dirty shlt Kenny did.
Fury is straight up avoiding Wilder, REGARDLESS of the 2nd fight.
You guys never check social media? Parker posted a vid in instagram of him in a public gym with people around and swimming with the kids. So much for having covid. Tyson fury is also said to be flying to the UK soon. How is he allowed to travel with covid?
I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly got covid when VADA knocked on the door, so he couldn't give a sample.
That could definitely be a possibility aswell going off his previous drug taking.
Any other time, I would assume poor ticket sales. Same thing with Teo-Kambosos
But as a young fan I learned from my dad a long time ago - never trust anything stemming from a lawsuit in HW boxing - a lot of the time it's all politics.
I'd hear the promoter of the losing fighter talk about lawsuits, filing petitions, injunctions etc and - as a fan of the losing fighter you think great this is the chance to reverse the outcome and my guy will get his shot again. The injustice will be undone! But the fight doesn't have to happen; one guy can drop a belt or "retire" for a short time. Both guys will show up and talk big to the press saying they're ready, things go quiet, then get bizarre and all of a sudden the fight is off.
Were either of these guys really ready to fight the other - seemed like a double bluff to result in both guys getting to save face for the time being.

I don’t have a quote from Joseph Parker saying he has covid.
But the same report about Tyson Fury also says Joseph Parker got COVID.
If it’s a conspiracy, why would Joseph Parker be a part of it?
He wouldn’t be. He wouldn’t lie for Fury when he gets asked and therefore he wouldn’t have been included in the lie.
They both got covid.
Parker is being paid by Fury camp. He can be 100% an innocent party but told not to say anything about covid in the camp as per confidentiality. That way you cant accuse him of lying. Fury camp has gone underground hiding. You will see them come out in a week claiming they have recovered Lol. Ask yourself why the sudden silence? At least with Teo he was on Twitter the very day it was announced saying he was disappointed having covid. Fury and everyone in their camp has vanished from social media and are hiding. They are playing the 'no comment' card. That way they don't implicate themselves. Yeah funny they were posting 4 times a day before the announcement now they lost their passwords to social media? lmao!! Come on now - people need to wake the fuck up.
I’m confused.
Is Joseph Parker faking his COVID results for Fury?
Because he got COVID in the same exact camp.
Parker never said he has covid show me where he confirmed he had covid. Parker knows he will be lying and can implicate himself if word ever comes out that it was all a lie. So best not to say anything just like everyone in Fury's camp avoid the media and remain silent until at least the expected recovery time for covid is in place. That way no one can prove they did not have covid if they are challenged.
Did they say he actually has it, or just members of his team he was exposed to? Either way, it’s not worth crying about. F*** Wilder, hope he had fun training his ass off for this fight, lol.
I think all the parties you mentioned wanted the fight but we all know what Fury is like mentally.
My only issue is that I don't trust Fury one bit. Smoking gone is that SugarHill said he does not have covid! How is it possible Furys coach does not have covid but yet their camp claim the likes of Andy and Parker have covid - even though we have not heard Parker confirm this on his socials neither have any of Fury sparring partners. Something VERY FISHY!!
NO
They didn't want the fight--Much better things at heavyweight now
Whilst I'm not massive on Wilder and Fury fighting each other again, right now, maybe 2-3 fights down the line yes, they both need a fight/s, it's a joke the inactivity of these top HW's, covid times or not, Canelo has been very active, get these guys fighting.
I wish the top fighters fought 3 times per year, that would really drum up more interest in boxing as you get to see your faves more often, rather than the once or twice per year as a treat bollocks. I loved watching Canelo all those times recently, all the top guys should be like this, and then losses won't be as bad either, as you get right back out there straight away again.
As much as I love Mayweather, so many fighters seem to think they should do what he did, the two PPVs per year, and that's it, but I think boxers need to get out there more. Wilder and Fury haven't fought since fighting 17 months ago, and they weren't really active a year before that either, Joshua doesn't fight that much.
I've made it clear before that I think Mike Tyson is one of the most overrated fighters ever, but what he did do was fight often, he kept getting out there, so people wouldn't forget about him. The inactivity, and the entitlement of one fight per year, or at most two per year is a joke. Why can't a major fighter, who has more than enough money to live ten lifetimes on, get out there on an undercard and get his mandatory out the way once per year, instead of messing about with never-ending training camps?

Listen brain surgeon when I came down with Covid. Everyone in my house was put into isolation and tested. That’s standard.
His boxing group could get everyone including Wilder sick. If that happens. Girls like you would be starting posts about Fury getting everyone sick.
I think most ppl just don't believe him. I wouldn't be surprised if he is struggling for motivation as he has already squashed that fake budget Malcolm X wannabe. But mostly ppl are hearing that the fight was about to bomb so they needed to pull it.
Fury might not have had covid at all, it could all be just to piss Wilder off more due to the pathetic excuses that Wilder has given in the past. Thats pretty hilarious, Fury likes to F with people and it seemingly works in his favour.
Not good for the fans at all sadly, but F Wilder for his previous nonsense to boot, he embarrased the sport and deserves it.
Its a shame the fight is postponed but its not cancelled so I can live with it, Wilder just has to wait a little while longer to be made to look stupid again.
Covid is starting to reap havoc again in the UK, so screw it, let the Fury AJ unification run into 2022. Thats if AJ can get through Usyk, which will be even harder for him if theres no fans due to "delta". AJ does love a stadium
Wilder will be forgotten by then, his next load of BS excuses may not of though, so we can look forward to that too.
At this point, Fury has about as much proof of covid as Wilder had of his water being spiked, and thats fine with me now, "whats good for the goose".
Bring on October, Wilders retirement, and on to 2022 with huge optimism. :boxing:
