    Team Wilder only have themselves to blame!

    If Haymon's judges hadn't robbed Fury of a clear W, then he would no doubt be getting his rematch next.

    Fury isn't ducking Wilder, he just wants things on a level playing field. 50/50 is no good if the judges will rob you.

    As a boxing fan, i'm disappointed the rematch isn't happening straight away. I think the money men in America want to keep Joshua-Wilder-Fury apart for a while to generate more interest/money in the future. It sucks, but it is what it is.

    If they make Wilder vs Hughie Fury I will laugh my ass off. Wilder needs to start talking some smack to Hughie, it would make a rematch so much better after he splatters Tyson's cousin.

      I don't blame Tyson for wanting a fight or two before the rematch I'm more upset about him going with Arum than anything

      I fully expect Arum to say the fight will be in 2020 because he will have to build a stadium big enough in Vegas

        Obviously everyone's going to have their opinion. No doubt formed with their own biases.

        Mine is that Joshua wants these fights now. The others want to let them 'marinate'.

        I'm not sure them marinating does this era any good. If Fury v Wilder was the start of a new heavyweight era for boxing casuals then I think they'll be abandoning it now.

        We know TV networks get in the way. We know the big fights are hard to make. This episode has just put that up in lights for every doubter of the 'sport'.

          From what i read, Peter & Hughie have fallen out with Tyson.

            Fury was lowballed in front of Warren's eyes.
            Fact that Wilder was guaranteed $4 mil and Fury $3 mil.
            The beggar Finkel team suddenly became a chooser again just like in the AJ negotiations.
            It's amazing!
            Don't know where the arrogance is coming from a clear B-side.
            It's mind-boggling!
            This sport is fckd.
            Who is the next greedy Wilder?
            Fight bums all your career, then behave like you fought prime Tyson.

                Yes, that is correct

                  True, it's done and dusted now and it is because of Fury. No more debate to be had really

                    Every now and then we get a reminder that this isn't a sport. It's Prize Fighting.

                    I think we'd all love to see it operate as a sport, but there are too many vested interests at high levels for it to happen in our lifetime.
