Sky Sports & Hearn hating on the Wilder-Fury fight

[IMDAZED]

I wonder if there's been a stumbling block.

Been two weeks now.

Nope. Not now anyway. Kick back and wait for the announcement and press tour.

Warren tore them to shreds

My brother and I just had a conversation about this headline. The agenda couldn't be more obvious.

[Madison Boxing]

Why would they be jealous of a fight that hasn't been announced? What happened to franks big announcement what was meant to be a couple of weeks ago?

Why do you think it's taken longer to announce than they or atleast Frank orginally expected?

I heard there was an issue sith which date. The two networks each had preferences based on scheduling. That was resolved.

That makes sense because Warren has Frampton-Warrington PPV to juggle too. I heard they are aiming for December with that but they need to find a venue for that also.

Showtime have a possible Spence-Garcia PPV looming to juggle.

Then you have to think about Bellew-Usyk, that's a PPV fight likely to happen in November and whilst Frank has nothing to do with it nor could be care any less about it he's going to try and avoid having his PPV on the same day if he can.

So there's a lot of factors although I did expect an announcement by now but these things take time.

I think they settled on November, but we’ll see.

I thought Sky was supposed to be an independent observer. I didn't know they were am extension of Matchroom PR



But Frank Warren responds

BJS and Povetkin getting their permits is a formality. But Fury had been suspended from competition for medical reasons, and he also popped positive for ******* in a VADA test, so things might be more complicated in his case.

Just a thought.

[LacedUp]

I know LacedUp is upset about Hearn & Sky wanting Fury-Wilder not to happen

Why would I be upset about something I agree with? I'm a Fury fan. He's my number 1 heavyweight, go and check all threads.

Why would I want to see my #1 guy get splattered all over the ring? He's not ready, in my opinion he should have 5 more fights.

He looked like crap last time against the number 147 heavyweight in the world literally - and we want him to go in against Wilder?

Come on.
