Dan Rafael says Fury getting cold feet

[bboy80]

I wouldn't mind it if they signed the contract to fight Wilder but stated an interim tune-up fight. They can do a double on Showtime, Wilder-Breazeale and Fury-Kownacki/Martin winner in NY. It would go a long way towards selling the PPV in the U.S.

I thought that myself, though I'd switchout Wilder to Fury v Breazeale it would be a much better fight at this stage.

Lol come on man. He said last week it would be announced next week. That is now this week. This week is over after tomorrow. Another week starts Monday.

He actually said announcement on Monday, it's Saturday so he's 5 days late.

tbh, I'd have more respect for him if he backed out. Because right now, I see it as a cash out. Him and his team know they're not ready for this level of opponent, but there's too much money involved and Fury has probably seen better days.

If he's hesitant, it at least shows me that he somewhat cares about his legacy in boxing and is not just sticking around for one more payday.

After the fight Sat they said next week everything will be revealed.

The fall out would be fun to watch. I wouldnt be surprised if he calls it off tbh but I wont say he is.

Can't see why a reputable member of Fury's management would be going to Dan Rafael, talking about the fight. MTK are there to protect their fighter and business. Anybody there working closely on the fight is unlikely to be talking to Fat Dan saying that Fury is backing out.

I once talked to someone that worked with Haye's promotion company doing PR, they said that Haye v Wilder was a done deal about two years ago. Turned out to be nonsense

was it really someone in the know, or just one of the many many people involved with MTK pretending that they know something?

Could be psychological warfare. Leak info saying that he's scared giving Wilder a false sense of overconfidence. Fury seems very calculating to me although clearly a bit off.

Pretty much everyone that knows him off camera says he's actually an intelligent guy, maybe not academically as such but very sharp.

No, Warren said Monday, he was lying.

[eco1]

NOBODY would be shocked absolutely nobody because we all know Tyson is a bit unstable.

I'm sure Breazeale has be put on Standby as the Backup Plan

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

He didn't do well in his fight with Pianeta.
Just imagine if that was Dillian White or someone a tad better.
He needs to call it off before he wastes millions of dollars in promotion.
