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

[koolkc107]

That's your first thought about this fight?

No, my first thought is that this fight will be the one that settles who the real champ is.

Assuming Fury can be in shape by December, it's actually a tougher fight for both men than AJ, who can't out-skill Fury and can't out-punch Wilder.

You probably should have wrote that then.

It's on ESPN that Joshua is admitting looking past Povetkin, and that Wilder is the fight he really wants now. He is preemptively doing damage control because Fury is making him look like a big chicken, which of course he really is.

Haha amazing

Even if the fight doesn't happen, this is what I was calling for. Hearn already has fights lined up for Joshua, so time for Wilder to do the same. However, I was hoping they would use this ploy for March or April of 2019 and not at the end of 2018. Will Fury realistically be ready after one more tune up? I guess it gets him one more camp and he gets in better shape.

Risky risky fight for both. Will this be on PPV? If so, then you can't really put Spence/Garcia on PPV in December either. Unless one is in December and one is in November?

I think they should be on a PPV card together. I wouldn’t pay for either on their own but together it’s cant miss. As much as I’m a fan of Spence, him vs a lightweight (even though Garcia is nice with it) doesn’t warrant me spending $50+. Also I don’t think US casuals know/care about Tyson Fury. I know him and Wilder can sell this bout, but if you pair them with Spence-Garcia that’s the best PPV in a long time. Plus they all have the same promoter/adviser besides Fury. Put a couple average to good fighters on this card (Jermell-Lara, Broner-Ennis, The Olympic chick) and it could easily surpass 1.5 million buys.

Of course Joshua can outpunch Wilder.

He might not hit as hard as Wilder but he still hits hard enough to sleep him.

All showtime has to do is follow wilder and fury around with a microphone and the thing will do big sales. Americans cream for heavyweight fights to begin with, but the **** taking that will ensue will make boatloads of money

Says you?

I will write what I please.

You do the same.

This...SO THIS!

Can you imagine the all access episodes for these two?

It'll make Floyd's 24/7's look like the damn Teletubbies!

Honest question - Do you really think Wilder is a bum or are you just trying to bait people on here? I find it hard to believe that you really think he's as bad as you claim.

What has he done to dispute him not being a bum

Look at this resume

Look at his last fight when he was given 20 secs to recover

I am serious, wilder had the chance to prove everyone wrong but instead proved he is not a true champion when he never signed to fight
