[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

CHELSEA have KO'd Tyson Fury's hopes of facing Wladimir Klitschko at Stamford Bridge in October.

The Premier League champions have ruled out the possibility of the world heavyweight title fight taking place at their stadium during the season after the possibility was discussed.

Manchester's 6ft 9in unbeaten Fury, 26, is the mandatory challenger for Ukrainian Klitschko's WBA and WBO titles.

What rubbish!

Why the hell would they want to do that!

That's a very un-British thing to do!

Always felt this fight would end up in Germany. Which is fair enough.

On to the other options then

Wembley, 90,000
Twickenham, 80,000
Emirates, 60,000
Olympic Stadium, 55,000
West Ham or WHL are 40,000+ seating reformat

So there's 6 other options in london at least as good as stamford bridge.

Book one of them

Agreed!

I mean if it's in Germany that's obviously fair enough.

But it'd be a refreshing change to have such a major event on British soil.

They should make it in Denmark. Would be awesome and neutral.

Well it will be in Deutschland, then. Fury will get KTFO in Germany, in front of 60000 people or so.

Damn...hopefully a venue can be sorted out in the UK in the end...would be a shame to miss this opportunity to fight there. From Hennessy's words though, seems like it is not too likely.

We know Klitschko vs you name it can sell out 50k in Germany. If Stamford bridge and 35k probably isn't available. Question is where do you go? All the football stadiums will be in the same situation.

Are Fury and Klitschko big enough to sell out Twickenham or Wembley?

I'm not so sure. It makes more sense to have it in Germany and also if Fury is a serious contender, we'll see what he's got when he's up against it away from home.
