Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Klitschko Shot First, Then Wilder Unification

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tyson Fury insists he is fully focused on his most "accomplished" opponent, Christian Hammer, despite the potential lure of a meeting with new WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

Wilder won the title on Saturday night with a points victory over Bermane Stiverne and, as well as declaring his intent to take on Wladimir Klitschko, the 29-year-old also name-checked Fury as a future opponent.

Fury, the European and WBO international heavyweight champion and mandatory challenger for Klitschko's WBO title after his win over Dereck Chisora last year, will meet Hammer at London's O2 Arena on February 28 and is hopeful of meeting Klitschko later in 2015.

Wilder will go back to fighting tomato cans anyway, you know Haymon & his team are going to milk that belt.

I bet he fights Tarver next.

Then Briggs, then Holyfield gets dragged out of retirement ... the glory days are back for heavyweight boxing!

This is the right path for Fury, he's already assured himself of a Klitschko pay day, why take the unnecessary risk and fight Wilder? He won't beat Wlad, but depending on how good he looks losing, I could definitely see that as a case for him fighting Wilder afterwards.

And if Fury had said, "Wilder first, then Klitschko" you would now be accusing him of ducking Wlad, yes?

He's gotta make the most money he can, he needs to upgrade that caravan of his. It's a smart business move on his behalf. He's not ducking wilder but yeah he did duck price for sure. He could easily beat up Joshua right now but what would he get from it? He's waiting till he gets built up and most marketable and then he'll probably swoop.

Fury nearly sounding humble for a change, nice if he puts the garbage talk a bit aside now. And he is right, always focus on your next opponent. Hammer would be one of the best names he faced so far.
