Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Eyes Future Showdown With Deontay Wilder

[JakeNDaBox]

European heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has expressed his delight at seeing Deontay Wilder lift the WBC world heavyweight title last weekend and now seeks to dethrone the heavy-handed American later this year.

Wilder outboxed Bermane Stiverne for 12 rounds in Las Vegas on Saturday night and, in doing so, became America's first world heavyweight champion since 2006. Fury, who boxes Christian Hammer on February 28 at London's O2 Arena, couldn't have been happier with how it all worked out.

“It was big man versus little man and the big man boxed tall, just as I did against Dereck Chisora,” he said. “He outboxed the smaller man with ease.

“Wilder did a good job on Stiverne and he's now got the WBC title. That puts him in line for big fights against people like me, Wladimir Klitschko and whoever else. America has a new heavyweight champion of the world and the big boys are back in the division. The division has been set on fire again.

“It was definitely the result I wanted. Stiverne, although a good champion, was a bit of an unknown. Nobody knew who he was and nobody cared. Now America has a new heavyweight champion. Also, Wilder's undefeated and a knockout artist. That means the division has been given a lift and we're all back in business.” [Click Here To Read More]

War 2FAST!!!

A hype job calling someone else a hype job what is this world coming to...when I saw little Steve Cunningham knock him down wilder would Ko his ass ...only why he beat the smaller Steve is because he kept leaning on him

Wilder should be the easy favorite here. Aside from the fact of being a new World heavyweight boxing champion, he is the better athlete of the two as well; With a better punch and chin which are two of the key attributes that Fury lacks.

Yawn yawn yawn.

If you think Tyson Fury would fight Deontay Wilder with the same attitude that he came in with against Steve Cunningham, you clearly know nothing about boxing.

Realistically it's a 50/50 fight.

Of course i could mention how Wilder got dropped against Harold Sconiers & KTFO in the amateurs by a sumo wrestler.....

i agree with fury the heavyweight division is on fire when was the last time anyone got excited about the heavyweight division besides maybe for haye klitscko for a half second? we need the heavyweight division in boxing its fun to watch i love the welters and all that but we need a relevant heavyweight division we really do i almost say they just pretend the wbc is the belt and just say good riddance to the brothers lol

honestly i dont see what the big deal is that he got knocked down by cunningham yes hes way bigger hes not even a natural heavyweight all that i understand but when all is said and done the punch he landed on fury knocks down probably any fighter in boxing at any weight i mean the guy threw a perfect overhand regardless how big he is give the guy some credit

[BOXEO _]

Huge fight! Way bigger than Wilder/Stiverne.


I'm a fan of both of these fighters though, It's going to be hard to watch.

I don't believe it happens this year, but maybe in 2016 depending on different factors.

Wilder made the division more relevant due to the fact that he brought the green belt back to America. A Vlad unification fight is inevitable if Wilder keeps up the steam. THAT would be huge, worldwide.
