    Apparently this is the date and venue for the biggest domestic fight since Bruno vs Lewis.

    Makes sense :good

    wont be old trafford football ground - they are relaying the pitch this summer for around a million quid no chance they let an event on it during the season aswell

    cricket ground could be a shout tho

    I really want this to be true. Weekend in Manchester, traveling down from Edinburgh. The MEN is a cool arena for boxing.

    I've been to both. Enjoyed both. Think I prefer the MEN too though.

    Is City's ground an option or does Fury support United?

    He supports United I think but I guess the MEN is a safer option due to weather.

    Benn/EubankII probably would remain bigger, arguably it was bigger than Lewis/Bruno too...

    o2 has probably got better facilities for vip / corporate tickets than the men

    end of september isnt the worst weather nowadays but ur always guessing - if they do go outdoors cricket ground isnt a bad shout over 30k tickets and loads of corporate facilitis

    The Weather wasn't a problem for Haye/Chisora. Have the fight outside at Wembley.
