Will Tyson Fury duck Kubrat Pulev?

[The Hammer]

The purse bid for this IBF final eliminator is coming up on May 28.

Will Tyson Fury decide to back away from this fight?

The winner would be Wladimir Klitschko's IBF mandatory, and Wlad's manager has said it will be his next fight after Povetkin.

[Silky_Smooth]

Absolutely. He's not going anywhere near Pulev.

You're right.

Too bad, it's a fight I'd love to see.

On boxnation the other night they were saying there's rumours that he's in discussions with david haye ... so i wouldn't be surprised if he ducks pulev ... I think fury looses both fights, but at least v haye he knows he'll get well paid for it

No. Tyson Fury will fight any man out there, 100%. What his promoter decides is another thing.

Yep, that idiot is looking for one big payday against Wlad before all his idiotic fans realize the steaming hot pile of cr@p he is as a boxer.

I've been generally supportive of Fury up until now, but if he ducks Pulev I'll have no respect for him.

I don't mind trash talk as long as the boxer backs it up (like Ali did).

But I hate a fraud who talks a lot but turns out to be a coward (like Haye).

I think it would be safe to say if the fight doesnt happen it will be because he got a better bigger offer from Haye, who is not a bad fighter himself.

If he doesnt fight Pulev and goes on to fight a bum then it would be a duck.

Haye has said he will fight Charr as promised once his hand heals, likely in September.

So Fury will have more than enough time to fight Pulev before Haye.

So it's not a valid excuse for ducking Pulev.

I think there's pressure on Hennessy to match him with either Wladimir or Haye. The former would be a world title fight, and the latter a money fight. I think he will go for the latter. If he somehow beats Haye, i'm sure the sanctioning bodies will make him a mandatory/no.1 challenger for either Wladimir or Vitali. If he doesn't, he's had a good pay day and his HW career won't be a total write-off.
