  • Tyson Fury confirms negotiations with Team Wilder have advanced, fight almost done

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/45009647
    British former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says a deal to fight Deontay Wilder is "almost done".

    Fury made his return to boxing after a 32-month absence with an easy victory over Sefer Seferi last month.

    The 29-year-old is set to fight Italian Francesco Pianeta on 18 August and said a bout with America's WBC title holder Wilder could follow in December.

    "I'll flatten him first and then Wilder, let's dance," said Fury in a post on social media.

    Fury stunned Wladimir Klitschko to land the WBA, IBF and WBO world titles in 2015 before being suspended in 2016 amid "anti-doping and medical issues" and accepting a backdated two-year ban.

    He says he will not be complacent about the Pianeta bout, and views him as the ideal opponent to use as preparation for a fight with Wilder.

    "I am a man of my word, and if I say I'll fight, I will fight you," he added.

    "Negotiations are very strong and we're almost done with this deal."
    He also made a video:

    Unless the impossible happens and Pianeta beats Fury I'm 95% sure this fight happens in December.

    Fury has lost more weight since his last fight also:

      Only if he wins, otherwise he will be the guy who lost the lottery ticket.

            Obviously a real big fight if it happens. I do think Fury needs another couple of 'comeback' fights though before mixing it at the very top.

              Sounds good. Just so happens he puts this out there when other british heavies are grabbing headlines.

                Respect if true... Fury isn’t ready for a AJ bout let alone Wilder imo. If this happens Wilder could be fighting U.K. fighters in his next 4 bouts (Fury,AJ,AJ2,Whyte) if he runs the table on those there should be no more dispute who the baddest man on the planet is

                    IF this fight happens, which I doubt, then Fury at even 80% of what he was when he fought Wlad beats Wilder easy.
