    Fury UD12, in possibly a..... often-tense, but sometimes slow, fight..... that could be criticized for not living up to its billing..... Wilder will make the fight, but he will have a lot of problems doing so, and will fall behind on the cards

    or Wilder could knock him out lmao
    Fury probably wins. The one time wilder didn't fight a bum he was nearly knocked out by Ortiz. Fury is taller and a better boxer. Wilder winning would surprise me. Fury winning would not. Wilder beating Ortiz surprised me

      After Tyson Fury loses this Saturday, he can still go on to have a decent career, not great considering hes likely going back to British level.

      Perhaps Tyson can have that Chisora trilogy, then finally fight Liverpools favorite David Price -- you know the UK has been dying for that one. However with all the bum Fury's running around ( Hughie and Tommy ), Tyson might not have to many opponents to chose from.

      With luck Tyson might win the European HW title, and Hughie can hold on the British, whilst Tommy picks up a Lonsdale Belt.

        I picked him to win that fight

        his firepower is real, I thought he would catch Ortiz eventually

        Fury is a different ballgame, he will give Wilder fits

        a lot of people are sleeping on the gypsy king

          It might well come down to stamina. Fury will most likely struggle in the latter stages, given what he’s done to his body. Reflexes, foot speed and punch resistance will all be diminished if Fury gasses and I imagine Wilder will be holding his feet throughout most of the fight and be the fresher of the two.

            It would be the greatest comeback win of all time. Fury coming back after 3 years out and abusing himself and only after 2 fights against nobodies. Context!
            Josh would give anything to beat wilder so why wouldn't it be a great, great win?
            Wilder is an Olympian something fury isnt

              Bronze not gold. That's nothing to be proud of like Fury said. Wilder is not nearly as good and all powerful as everybody thinks he is. To me he beat a guy who was over hyped and paded his record with bums and was nearly knocked out by the first real ranked contender he ever fought in Ortiz. Joshua is the real champ with more belts not wilder

                Wilder is no1 or 2 in the world. It would be a great win for fury. It would be a great win for josh. It would be greater for fury.

                      It would be a great comeback. Historic seems a bit strong of a term to describe it, but it depends how you look at it.

                      The only reason it would bother me if Fury wins is that we would have to see it twice with the rematch clause. That said, if Fury wins, I hope he totally dominates so Wilder forgets about the clause.

                      I'll stand by my prediction though, and pick Wilder by mid to late KO.
