Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Rematch Deal Being Sorted Out, Says Frank Warren

Oh really now lol. I thought A side don’t get to dictate where the fight is. They just have to take 50 million, shut up , sign and hope the location is not in Calcutta

LOL, wrong Wilderite! You never heard me say that. When AJ declined the $50 mil offer I was content with the terms that Wilder had agreed to; By fighting him on his own soil, no guarantee, or rematch clause and the $15 mil flat fee. I didn't care where the venue was just as long there was a fight. However at the eleventh hour Joshua withdrew that offer when Wilder accepted it and chose to fight Povetkin instead. You see there? You picked the wrong fanboy. You're losing it now Anthony. You're losing it. I'm only teasing.

Check what you replied to you clown. "Train and recuperate from his weight loss" in other words working on his fitness.

"Weight isn't the be all and end all for fitness"

Your words. Now, weight loss equals fitness so you don't have to admit that was an idiotic post. What makes it worse is that you're trying to tell me what another poster meant!

How is Wilder the A side? Fury draws more money than him.

In what way? What leverage does he brings the table? Is he the champion? Is he a titleholder? Does he put more meat in the seat? The answer to these questions are no. Therefore, "The Bronze Bomber" doesn't owe Tyson Fury shit.

Besides, he pursued Wilder for this opportunity. Wilder didn't pursue him for it and why? Because Fury ain't got shit he wants.

The only reason why there is a rematch is because Deontay Wilder wants one. Tyson Fury should consider this fight series with Wilder a gift.

Wilder doesn't have to take this fight but he wants to give us boxing fans the fights that we want to see. He is putting his undefeated record, career and future on the line for us.

Unlike that punk ass AJ who tells his fans "if they want to see a Wilder fight, then they should go train and become boxers themselves and fight him'. Fortunately, you have a hero in Tyson Fury to do it for you guys.

Wasn't he only like 4 pounds lighter for Wilder than he was for Pianeta? He said weight loss was absolutely not the focus for his camp with Wilder. Are you presuming that he blew up in weight after the Wilder fight?

I wasn't talking about him losing weight in camp for Wilder, I was talking about the 100lbs+ he lost in about 8 months prior to that.

It takes a long time for your body to fully recover back to peak strength and fitness after losing that amount of weight in that space of time, especially if you do it right after spending 2 and a half years boozing, snorting coke, and stuffing yourself with unhealthy food.

I see what you're saying. I don't think there will be much difference. He is a pro athlete with much technology available such as cold therapy and hyperbaric chambers. Recovery time typically is a lot faster than for us normal folks.

Sources: PBC officials and Frank Warren are involved in deep negotiations toward a heavyweight title rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. Sides are determining how much each fighter is worth. Targeted for late May, early June on PPV. Likely headed to Brooklyn or Vegas

Early June in Vegas is my guess.

Late May works as well as it won't be right after Canelo's fight at the T-Mobile arena.

Pro athletes are still human beings, and Fury wasn't even an athlete for 2 and a half years. He was an obese, boozed up junkie, leading the kind of life style that ended Mike Tyson's prime before he even hit 30.

I've read quite a lot of expert opinion from trainers, nutritionists and a doctor who specialises in sports science. They all reckoned Fury needed at least a year to get back to peak form, if he ever got back there at all. Many don't.

It is great that they are serious about the rematch. Both these guys can be criticized, but they both seem to be men of their words.

It is great that Wilder is willing to walk right back into the ring with a man who may have legit beat him last fight. He has to realize he needs to get serious about some improvements to his style, or this could be the end of his reign. I think a motivated Wilder is a good thing for boxing.

It is great that Fury looks great. As someone who was not buying him as a legit threat until he showed up against Wilder, to see him happy, healthy, and boxing well after all he has been through is so fantastic for the sport.

It may NOT be so great the fight is in the US. I actually was hoping it would happen over the pond. Any controversy (real or imagined) in the rematch will just follow Wilder around like ugly luggage.

Agreed that getting back to his old peak is in question. Question is when does that year start? From when he first decided to come back? From the Pianeta fight? My view is that by the time the Wilder fight came around, he was back to normal fitness levels and not in weight loss mode, thus close to whatever peak he will have in his 30s.

Fair enough that fish eyed Warren says no to California.

After that result, and them accepting Jon Jones. There's some shady goings on there. That and that profit needs to be countered with future losses so to disincentivise future recurrences.
