Tyson Fury vs Wilder has so many of you FOOLED!

[ramplamp]

I wish it were true but I just don't believe it.

Of course it's a publicity stunt.

[AL_Camino]

Am I the only one that sees this as a big stunt organised by Frank Warren to draw attention to Fury's next fight vs that Italian guy? Hey, Wilder's side might be in on it too.

Frank and Wilder's team both agree to lend each other a hand - Fury gets publicity for his next fight and Wilder keeps his name in the media / has a more powerful bargaining chip in negotiating with AJ - basically saying to Hearn /AJ 'If you won't fight me, I have other options'.

I think it's clear Eddie Hearn knows it's all a bluff - there is no fuccing way Fury gets in the ring with Wilder this year...NONE!

The promoters get the fans talking and the buzz going - and laugh at the free publicity they are getting. Wilder helps Fury sell PPVs for his next glorified sparring session and Wilder gets what he wants.

Happy to eat my words - but I will say the Fury/Wilder fight 100% is not happening this year

At least you are happy to eat your words.

Only way it doesn’t happen is if Fury loses or looks like garbage. Even if he does look bad, it probably happens.

Makes too much sense, and negotiations are serious, despite what Hearn and his minions say (wish).

Exactly. Unless Fury loses or someone suffers an injury(which could then make things su****ious), i think it will definitely happen.

[LacedUp]

I thought so too, but now I think they might actually do it.

Would be a great fight, although I wished for Fury that he'd have taken one or two more.

But I guess they are both fighting for the April spot with Joshua in a way.

Nah! Not happening so soon. I rate Tyson Fury to trouble or beat Joshua and Wilder but this is pure hype. Fury is nowhere near ready. Not even close. He had a full mental breakdown before and confidence is everything with these guys.
There’ll be a flimsy excuse and it’ll get moved down the road.
It’s great publicity and that’s all. Doesn’t hurt Joshua either unless he loses before facing one or both of them.

Of course I'd be happy, as we'd get to see a big fight. Fury looked like a whole lot of ass in his last 'fight' though, and I doubt he'll be much better vs Pianeta. If he faces Wilder in December he'll need more than stitches for the hole Wilder leaves in his head.

perfectly possible explanation I agree its highly likely but on the other hand..

I think fury has come back to make as much money as possible as fast as possible so he can walk away for good and retire this is a money grab by frank warren and fury so I see them taking the wilder fight

as for wilder why wait for fury to improve any more he might never have an easier version of fury to fight so he is best of taking it now

[uppercut510]

why exactly are fans hating on this possible fight??????? whats going on here?
