Should they strip Fury of his titles and let Wlad and Anthony Joshua fight for belts?

    well why would Povetkin and Stiverne be fighting for a championship? Won't the winner have a belt?

      Not sure how this relates to anything I said. And I believe Povetkin and Stiverne are fighting an eliminator for a mandatory spot.

        big fury fan and sad whats gone on, but yes, if he is out for a while he needs to be stripped. Wlad has waited a long time for a rematch. Joshua v wlad is a great match up, get that made.

          deontay just fought in July. He's been active more recently and I thought his belt was going to be on the line for the winner of the povetkin and stiverne fight

            they're fighting for an interim title. Don't see why that couldn't be done here. Wilder actually has an injury that we know heals. Tyson has mental issuesand his recovery is unpredictable and not guaranteed.

              Not a chance

              How many titles Do people want to hand Joshua just because he's popular

              Tyson shouldn't get stripped, he earned those in the ring

              Klit and everyone who wants them just have to wait

                    For sure, Fury is a mixed bag of nuts. All I'm saying is that talk of Fury being stripped is a bit premature. He is becoming the biggest joke of a heavyweight champion ever, but I'd still like to see him lose them in the ring instead of a front office.
