Dan Rafael says Fury getting cold feet

[Boksfan]

And they will tell him five days before the fight so he doesn't have time to train, lol.

That would be shocking because that's what Wilder always does.

This would really suck for Wilder. First Povetkin gets popped for roids, followed by Ortiz (who he eventually fought but had to go through the whole ordeal and pointlessly rematch Stiverne), and then there's the lame AJ/Hearn situation. Now Fury thinking about pulling out, which is totally plausible given his mental instability. Can Wilder catch a break?

Maybe if he actually targeted proven, active and prime top 10 contenders he would get his break, instead of trying to take the easy option all the time.

I'll give you Povetkin, but I don't think for one second Wilder ever had any intention of fighting in Russia anyway. Regardless, this was a mandatory, he had no choice.

Stiverne was a disgraceful replacement

Ortiz was seen by many as a dark horse of the division. No achievements or big wins but undefeated, with power and an unknown quantity. But Wilder only fought him because hes nearly 50 years old and he nearly paid the price.

Then we come to Fury. Wilder ran from a guaranteed $15m and shot at undisputed against Joshua to try and strengthen his hand for less money against a fighter at 50%.

If things blow up in his face he only has himself to blame. If Fury pulls out he is right back where he started, if Fury wins then Wilder is finished. Fury will pull out of any agreed rematch.

If he beats Fury then yes, he does increase his claim against Joshua to 40% minimum. But it seems a foolish risk to me.

I think fury knows he's not at his best but thinks Wilders a bum who can punch hard and feels he can beat him if wilder don't rabbit punch him.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!

Do many English boxing fans want him to pull out all of a sudden


****ing Hearniacs

[STREET CLEANER]

If this remains true it will be the second Brit fighter to duck Wilder.

[LacedUp]

It's clear to someone that hates Wilder every second they can get and won't want to give him any credit when he wins.

Stop sucking Wilder's **** ffs. Fury was 400 lbs 1 year ago and CLEARLY is not ready for the top level.

You want to go around saying Wilder is the real champ when he beats a poor Fury and take credit for something pretty much every top 10 guy could do at this point.

Why wouldn't you be happy if Fury had 2-3 more fights and fights Wilder next summer when he's in fighting shape?

Why do you want Wilder to have an easy touch?

[LacedUp]

Yep, I think he is rushing in too much with this, he could easily get 1-2 more fights in from here and January.

Take the fight in July and get 3 more decent fights in.

What's the problem? He's NOT ready for it.

[MrRolltide91]

Don't believe it

[BoxingTech718]

If Fury pulls out then wilder should fight Whyte and shut his gob once and for all.

Then he can be famous for getting Ko’d by both Joshua and Wilder
