[JakeNDaBox]

As if fight week hadn’t been unsettling enough for the Fury camp in the build-up to his world heavyweight title challenge against Wladimir Klitschko, there has been another setback.

The team went to the ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf earlier today to check out their surroundings and the canvas of the ring in which the IBF, WBO, IBO and WBA Super belts will be contested and found that the surface was like a sandpit. [Click Here To Read More]

Why wouldn't there be a standard boxing ring canvas?

Why isn't there a basic standard canvas boxing ring that is accepted worldwide for all sanctioned fights. And why is this all coming up on fight day? Seems like Fluff Fury doesn't want to fight? But Wlad has already cancelled the fight once himself? Just go out and fight and get it over with and make your millions.

Fury is a coward, and like you said, he is throwing excuses out. When (not if) he gets his ass kicked tonight, he will have a whole assortment of excuses to fall back on. The guys a fraud, and nobody gives a **** about him. Both fighters will be using the same ring, if Fury doesn't like it, tough ****!

Excuses, excuses, excuses...

There's a difference between being injured or making excuses, Fury makes excuses.

Hardly.

Wow... you can literally, on one part of the video, see Fury's foot sink in the canvas

[Redeaux]

That canvas is an embarrassment, Fury has every right to complain.

Honestly that's seriously pathetic, whoever is responsible for trying to pull this **** should be investigated, blatant cheating.
