    The only recourse he had was to ask for mediation, because the right to do that was written into the contract.

      An arbiter will decide if Fury was within his rights to pull out and maybe he was. I have no idea. But your version of events is a flat out lie. If anybody was stalling, it was Fury's side, since they may have been purposely running out the clock so they could try to bolt.
      By ringing Shirley Winkle demanding a date before the end of 2020 which is already beyond the contracts expire date.

        Bunch of little girl excuses, but, with Deontay doing the whole if I can't brag I'll just stfu bit there's not much reason for Wilder fans to care.

          Have you not yet noticed you are always having to defend Deontay and his team all the time. Whether it be why he didn't face a number of fighters, excuses for performances, failed negotiations and general shifty business?

          We debate shifty business with Wilder and Joshua, Whyte, Klitchko, Fury and so on but the one common trend is Wilder. Everybody else manages to get chit done.

            That's incorrect. The fight couldn't have happened on the first proposed date, July 18th, because Wilder claimed some kind of injury.

            In October, Fury said that he wanted to fight in December, if not against Wilder, then against somebody else, and posted messages on social media warning Deontay that he wasn't going to wait forever. Crickets from Wilder and Finkel.

            Wilder had a legally binding contract. No matter what "the networks" wanted or didn't want, he could have insisted on enforcing his legal rights and fighting Fury in December, which Fury said he was ready and willing to do.

            It's true that both sides wanted to maximise revenue, but one side needed to forget about that and insist on fighting immediately, whatever the financial situation. They didn't do what they needed to do, and that's nobody's fault but theirs.

              No idea.

              There could be a plethora of reasons.

              Just because he agreed to the mediation doesn’t make it a fact that the contract hasn’t expired.

                So Fury's trainer went to the UK in September to prepare for the December showdown with Wilder.
                What's that for?

                  Hey motor mouth, NOW post ALL the excuses Beyonce came up with. NOBODY cares for the guy from Alabama at this point. He NEEDS to go back to the drawing board and earn a fight against the winner of Fury/AJ. PERIOD

                    Only if they thought the other side were a bunch of morons, bearing in mind it was the other side who needed the fight, not them. And even then, if Fury was deliberately trying to trick Wilder into letting the deadline pass, I doubt he would have posted this at Deontay's twitter:

                      Ya that's what I was thinking y wait for months and months to finally say something .
