Is Fury-Wilder unprecedented?

[Willie Pep 229]

Arum had to know the possibility regarding arbitration. The risk, balanced with the benefit of having the issue resolved in a set amount of time. After all, that's what arbitration really is good for. I'm not so sure that Fury was so inclined. He may have thought that arbitration was a sure thing, and that at worst there was no way the Joshua fight could be made in time for him to fight again.

honestly sometimes the most logical explanation is that people are operating truthfully. I don't see a motivation Fury to think otherwise than stated above.

under those conditions I wonder if Fury thought better of giving Wilder pass money. If he figured he'd be fighting Wilder anyway, then faced with having to deal with giving Wilder a large sum of money, it was probably easy for him to assume he would just go in there and spark wilder out... then his dad probably saw him being real lax...

I follow what your saying - we are too quick to think Machavallian when it may just be the individual's best move.

I suspect though that if Fury had taken the AJ fight, win or lose he quits fighting and never faces Wilder again.

I definitely believe that Fury thinks Wilder is the most dangerous guy out there right now.
