Denis Boytsov vs. Tyson Fury cancelled but may happen in 2013

[The Hammer]

Boytsov is (was) a fine prospect. The way things are going with Universum, I can sort of understand that he is not ready. They probably could not provide the proper means of preparation ie sparring etc.

There's a multitude of lawsuits coming up from Fighters that havent received their purses so this is likely a reasonable move from Boytsov.

The rest of the world will have to wonder what could have been had Boytsov been with a better promotor.

Yes.

I just hope he soon breaks away from the black hole which is Universum.

[BattlingNelson]

Yes.

I just hope he soon breaks away from the black hole which is Universum.

K2 might be a good fit if they want to stay in business. I dont know about Sauerland. They are huge and Boytsov might be forgotten and I reckon the german market for imported fighters has just about exceeded its limit.

[BostonGuy]

Well that sucks d1ck. Of the remaining hw fights this year, this was probably the best one on paper.

[BostonGuy]

If Boytsov wasn't in shape to begin with, then why did these jokers sign the contract a week ago?...

Umm this is what I got from Fight News

The proposed heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KOs) and Denis Boytsov (31-0, 25 KOs) is off. According to Universum Box-Promotion, the Fury Team rejected the fight, which was to take place December 1 in Northern Ireland.

All the varying reports of why it's off add up to one conclusion:

Hennesey made an offer but rejected the fight when Universum asked for more money.

Sounds about right.

Hennessy probably low-balled them, knowing they'd reject. The guy's a joke, seriously.

The same issue came up when Froch was in his stable. Events were shoddily put together, with no national/international exposure for the fighters.

Everything about Hennessy is cheap.
