    Not a bad match up, fury is favored to win by wide UD if the information is true.

    Not a bad fight over all.

      Relatively speaking Fury isn’t really a puncher.

      Legit gives Pricey the chance to actually land that bomb.

      I like Fury. But if Pricey beat any elite heavyweight I’d probably cry tears of joys.

      Dunno what it is. That big oaf pulls at my heart strings. He’s like Lenny from mice and men, ffs.

        I like David Price, especially his honest and open display of his fall or struggles in boxing 'And he has not given up on himself'. In a way he seemed to go through his own depression, you could see a 360 degree change in interviews after his loses and people began to make him out to be a clown even in his own city. .

        Price for me is not a instinctual fighter, i.e like Mike Tyson, David Haye and even Tony Bellew. He is a confidence fighter, and that performance against Povektin was like a win for his ego. It like the marvel the superhereo's they all have their weaknesses and flaws but that is what make them interesting characters. Price has been interesting to watch, ups and downs.

        Stylistically Price is a big big danger to any heavyweight who does not possess equalizing power. Tyson Fury does not have equalizing power, he does have better stamina though of late.

        Will be interesting to who matchroom get for Price if and when he carries on winning.

            Every article I read and every broadcast I watch refers to him as the lineal world heavyweight champion. Maybe things are different in your country.

              If this is true then Fury, his fans and his countrymen should be embarrassed.

                As a general rule those who claim him lineal are in some way associated with him (or wilder in the build up to that fight) - ptimarily for marketing reasons. There are a lot of wilder fans on here who think the same.

                Some will consider it him anyway but a lot , including myself , dont give him credit anymore because in my opinion he forfeited when he retired/didn’t fight for multiple years/failed a drug test.

                For clarity though I don’t consider Joshua the lineal either. I will consider the winner of Joshua and Wilder lineal.

                    Hopefully this isn't true. We probably won't see a competitive HW fight until end of 2019, if that.
