Will Tyson Fury duck Kubrat Pulev?

[Simurgh]

Fury is fighting Haye. Eddie Hearn let it slip last week.

Good one if it happens.

I don't see Fury beating Haye. That means the only "mega-fight" left, after Wlad beats povetkin, is Haye-Wlad rematch.

Shame for Pulev though... Beating Fury would mean a lot and chance at Wlad...

[PrinceNaz88]

Shame but if he fights Haye then I see no problem with it.

Haye would knock Fury out cold though.

[yoz]

Not surprised.

Hennessy is going to cash in on Fury now.

It's official.

Tyson Fury's management has decided that he will NOT fight Kubrat Pulev, who will now become the IBF heavyweight mandatory.

Think it's safe to say Kubrat Pulev ain't the bloke you want to meet down a dark alley. Actually a top fella #futureheavyweightchamp

Together with Golovkin, Kubrat Pulev must be the most avoided man in boxing #futureheavyweightchamp

Tyson Fury has been withdrawn from Kubrat Pulev IBF Final Eliminator bout. Pulev must now be made immediate mandatory to Klitschko/Povetkin.

I will never support Tyson Fury again.

There's an excuse for the small, old and faded Tomasz Adamek who's been in many fights with bigger men to avoid Pulev. But for 6'8" young Fury there is NO EXCUSE, especially since he's a loudmouth and a braggart who bashed other fighters and calls them pussies.

Tyson Fury is a fighting man.

Tyson Fury is a fighting man.

He's a duck and a disgrace to the name "Tyson".

Mike Tyson never avoided anybody.

LOL...except Lennox Lewis you mean?

Depends what Fury does next. You need to stop prematurely ejaculating over these situations cos you just end up getting embarrassed afterwards.

The only way it would be excusable is if he fights David Haye.

But Haye is now with Hearn, who is in a contract with SKY SPORTS, while Fury is with Hennessey who has a contract with CHANNEL 5.

So because of the TV contracts Haye-Fury is very unlikely.

The twitter rumor is that Fury will cherry-pick old shot Adamek. Did you know Adamek fought at welterweight as an amateur?

Even though this may appear to be an odd move, it may make sense. Unless he is a champion on a winning streak or has big names on his record, a fighter's worth will be greatest while he is still undefeated. Fury vs Haye would be huge in the UK. It could be the most lucrative fight out there for him. If he loses to Haye, he still makes a ton; if he loses to Pulev, by contrast, he is no longer undefeated nor is he significantly richer.

I thought Channel 5 was not showing boxing anymore? I hope he fights Haye, Haye will ko him thank ****. If he fights Adamek over pul;ev then that is a blatant duck
