    This fight is not happening. Not now, and possibly not for a while so there's no need in arguing about it any more haha. Also, Fury can't just go fight Charr and become the mandatory because he's not ranked in the WBA at all nor can he fight Scwartz and become the WBO mandatory, he's not ranked there either. He's going to have to slowly climb the ranking if he wants to but I doubt he will. If he becomes a mandatory then he will have to fight AJ for 25% and Fury will want more than that. Wilder will fight Kownacki next and Fury will fight a fringe contender at best, like Jennings. The entire time they still will call out AJ because of jealousy. Non of this will get figured out until Fury fights 5 warm ups and Wilder fights and loses his belt, which I see happening in the next year or so.

      I still lean more towards it happening. Tyson made his comeback off the idea that Joshua was being a *****. Now he's going to be the new Joshua? I don't think Tyson really wants to do that. I think maybe he's just taking away headlines from Joshua-Miller.

      It'd be very weak and hypocritical. He said he was coming to prove the UK has balls. Well, steely enough for one go huh? Then you run and hide and that proves something to us? I'd like to think Tyson thinks more highly of himself.

Fury is exactly like Floyd where they don't step in the ring with someone unless they feel like they have a huge edge over them. The funny thing is i believe Fury thought HE eas cherrypicking Wilder and the first fight, and after that fight THEY both saw something they didn't like.


        Pretty sure Fury and everyone else feel like he has a pretty big edge over Wilder considering he already beat Wilder when he was about 60% of his best

            Cong**** to Fury for possibly the GREATEST comeback in HW history. (I'm talking about $$$).

            That said... ESPN/Top Rank deal just further gums up the HW division.

              I'm not a wilder fan by any means but 90% of refs would have waved that fight off. Fury knows he was lucky to come out with that draw. I don't think he wants Joshua at this point in time either. Why do you think Fury called out Wilder and not Joshua when he came out of retirement?

                Fury won the first fight.
                Fury is the A side.
                Wilder need Fury more than Fury needs him.
                Fury is tied to a network, Wilder isn't.

                The ball is in Wilders court.

                  You are an adorable innocent bastard ain't you?

                  What does Wilder need Fury for? Joshua and Fury's success are at this point both centered around avoiding Wilder.

                  I know youse in the UK like to be arrogantly ignorant, but that's just ****ing ******.

                    Because the vast majority of fans saw Fury win, which is why the independent rankings dropped him behind Fury. He's now a paper title holder with nobody to fight.

                      I can understand why some are saying fury won but that was a very close fight with the knockdowns, I'm not seeing this dominating performance certain posters are speaking of and I'm a very balanced and fair person. Fury will take a few easy money fights b4 he fights wilder again. this is boxing...
