Main Events forcibly strips Fury of IBF title

She is punishing Hymen for the Stevenson debacle. Well, it looks like Wilder will be fighting another tin can next.......Main Events refused to negotiate with Fury and called for an expideted purse bid for Glazkof vs Fury. Team Fury has said they'll vacate the belt and fight a rematch with Wlad. Glazkof was in negotiations to fight Wilder for his WBC belt. For some reason Main Events choose to exercise the purse bid option with the IBF to fight Fury. Main Events knew Fury would drop the belt and opt for the Wlad fight. So instead of fighting Wilder for the WBC they decide to strip Fury and fight Martin for the IBF. Now Wilder is scrambling for an opponent. His next opponent will of course be less than stellar because of the monkey wrench Main Events threw in the plans. But people will still claim Wilder is ducking and fighting lesser competition. Just like they claim Wilder is ducking Povetkin when it's the other way around
Wilder was ready after his sept voluntary but Povetkin engaged in another fight https://t.co/ic9BzUVbLZ

Also, Haymon has Martin, who is the next highest ranked IBF contender below Glazgov. When the IBF orders Glazgov-Martin for the vacant title, I wouldnt be surprised if Duva sends that to purse bid also hoping Haymon will overpay.....Comment

Isn't Glazkov a tin can? I thought Malik Scott & Steve Cunningham both deserved decisions over him. His best win is over an ancient Adamek. Wilder was fighting a tin can either way imo. The fact that Glazkov is the mandatory would be an embarrassment to a non-corrupt organisation.
Is Szpilka confirmed? I'm assuming that'll be the opponent myself, but haven't heard anything confirmed. Jennings was the only legit opponent on the table if he was on tap early on (idr that myself unless you are talking further back, but never the less).Comment

All we can hope for is Wlad puts the rematch on ice for a minute so fury can deal with his Glazkov Issue.
I swear to god if Fury fights Glazkov I will personally fly to England too view that can get his overhype, protected gifted ass just desserts.Comment

Moral of the story: The IBF and WBC belts mean nothing. Everyone knows the real and only champion in the division is Fury and his challenger is Wlad.Main Events refused to negotiate with Fury and called for an expideted purse bid for Glazkof vs Fury. Team Fury has said they'll vacate the belt and fight a rematch with Wlad. Glazkof was in negotiations to fight Wilder for his WBC belt. For some reason Main Events choose to exercise the purse bid option with the IBF to fight Fury. Main Events knew Fury would drop the belt and opt for the Wlad fight. So instead of fighting Wilder for the WBC they decide to strip Fury and fight Martin for the IBF. Now Wilder is scrambling for an opponent.

Main Event, Haymon, Glazkov, Wilder et al can keep fighting for scraps.Comment

Martin is with Haymon and Glazkov would've gotten more money fighting Wilder & a shot at the WBC which is better than the IBF. It's a cheap move by Duva in order to get an easy belt.Comment
