Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury Will Fight Deontay Wilder? Don't Be Ridiculous!

[markther]

Fast Eddie sounds a little shook by this announcement of Fury & Wilder. That’s what you get little f@cking weasel...LOL!!!!!!

Another PR stunt right Eddie ? You wish it was a PR stunt . He is in shock that Fury has the balls to make this fight happen and AJ and him did not. They have to be embarrassed. I think Eddie has already made a fool of himself and should just STFU.

Hearn needs to grow up some day and realize he doesnt control everything and things happen that he is not a part of.

I agree to be fair. Especially after spending the last 4 months , whether it was your wrongdoing or not, negotiating with the same fighter that seems to have struck a deal elsewhere. You should mind your own business for at least the foreseeable future

This fight is gonna happen! I can't see 2 Brits turning b*tch in the same year! Fury is representing for the UK! He knows if he turns b*tch like Joshua, the whole UK will erupt! If Hearn thinks Fury isn't ready for Wilder, why does he keep bringing up Fury fighting Whyte? What does that say about Dillan Whyte? Hearn wants a fight in NY, why not make Whyte vs. Miller? Drop Miller from that Chicago show, and make Whyte vs. Miller in Brooklyn! Jamaican-Born Brit vs. a Brooklyn native @ the Barclay's! If you can't promote that, you need to quit!

His Brooklyn show sold like 4K seats he don’t want another embarrassment added to his already growing numbers lately

Fascinating to watch AJ fans claim Wilder sucks, has never beaten anyone, etc, then switch to how unfair it is to fight Fury after only two tune ups, etc. Which is it? Is Wilder garbage or not? Make up your minds.

Hate to break it to you, or love too lol...... heavy rumors coming out of the boxing world that the fight has already been agreed to, and the contracts are already signed for a fight in December in Vegas. I've got this from 3 different sources that I trust. Said they may even announce before the Pianeta fight (though I think thats highly unlikely). Also read an ESPN article quoting Fury saying the deal is done.

Tyson Fury - "It's been very, very easy [to make the fight]. We basically did this deal in two days, it's been the most straightforward, not complicated, deal that I have ever done. I've found his full team and him gentlemen to deal with, straightforward and very, very easy".

If there is one thing that might get Fury to fight Wilder now its Hearn saying he won't ;-)

It would be one hell off a coup for Warren and Finkel.

I really like Hearn and what he's done for boxing in the past few years, if you put your fanboyism aside you have to admit he has raised the profile of boxing no end.

Still it would be pretty funny if they scheduled a ppv event on the same weekend as Joshua in April. I can't think of many opponents that are going to sell for Joshua even a Whyte rematch wouldn't be able to beat it for ppv revenue. And Fury could potentially have 2 fights to tune up to it before hand.

Unrealistic I know, but it would be funny to see their reaction.

Admittedly I am an AJ fan (although I don't claim Wilder sucks) but honestly what indication have we had at this stage that this isn't far too early for Fury?

He's had one joke of a fight since returning where he was fat, slow and timing was way off. He needs to show the general public that he is ready to fight Wilder because currently I feel pretty safe to predict a Wilder KO.

If the shoe was on the other foot there would be plenty calling Joshua a cherry picker for fighting Fury; in fact plenty did a few months back when there was any talk about Joshua and Fury.

Hilarious. The man loves being centre of attention. This is the worst thing that could have happened to Hearns and AJ.

How do you work that out? The winner fights AJ and the fight becomes twice as big.

How can that be bad for AJ and Hearn?
