[The tucker]

Covid-19 is code name for pacquiao vs Spence. once that fight got announced it tore up their ticket sales

[Fighter78]

Should have gotten vaccinated you big dummies!

Vaccination doesn't stop you from getting the virus you big dummy....LOL

[Combat Talk Radio]

"if Fury's ok the fight should continue"

So he shouldn't have a cut man, a trainer, or S&C coach. Just work his own corner, huh?

I swear, it's like people don't understand the importance of a corner team/crew.

Who was that boxer, some years ago that refused to go in there with a corner crew because he felt he didn't need them?

Hopefully the undercard goes ahead there are 2 good HW fights there. Could not care less about another fixed WWE fake fight between mind programmed Wilder and ***** Fury.

This damn ***** Covid has robbed fans of so much and some fighters of their primes. Stinks

Call me cynical but covid is the new TR excuse du jour, replacing shoulder injuries.

well let me be more clear- if ticket sales are bad and the TR boxer is the big name it’s “COVID-19”. If the TR guy loses, it’s shoulder injuries.

And if the other guy loses it's glove tampering, water spiking, heavy costumes, eggweights, white privilege, drunken refs, snakes in the camp, crabs in a bucket, voodoo .....

I sort of felt he could delay the fight since the switch of opponents was so fast (from AJ to Wilder). The switcharoo tactic from wilder's team will not work with the Gypsy.
Tyson's dad was very vocal about the switching of opponents, he definitely is warning his son.

Wilder didn't choose the date. Arum and ESPN did.

The rematch clause was the deciding factor wasn't it?
Tyson's dad told him to throw the belt to the trash but with or without the belt, Tyson was obligated to fight wilder a third time.

[Lefty0616]

At this stage, who would be so careless? It's probably safe to say, Wilder isn't prepared enough to fight this month.

All facts. But you said Tyson deserved a delay due to the switch in opponents. Besides the fact that Fury himself stated he hadn't started training for ANYBODY, my point is that his own network picked the July date, not Wilder.
