    absolutely ridiculous. I can't be mad if his uncle is sick, just such a downer on the sport, fury gets casuals interested in the uk and things consistently go wrong with his fights lol. People will lose major interest in his fights now just because nobody even knows if they'l happen...

    So his uncle and 'first trainer' Hughie is seriously ill, yet it's Peter that's made the decision to not let Tyson fight because it may risk his health? Really? What happened to the, "I'll fight anyone, anywhere", attitude?

    He's just as bad Chisora and Haye for this. Some guy in Prizefighter last year fought a few days after his Mom had died...that's a real fighter.

    If true then Fury is no better than the likes of Haye wich he spouts so much crap about.

    Oh damn, my opponent is big and appears to be in decent shape... let's find a reason to pull out. :-(

    I don't know the details about who's ill but I think everything that gone on this week has really affected Tyson. He was saying Ustinovs been training for him for 8 weeks etc, to me that shows something's got in his head.

    After whining that Ustinov has actually trained, instead of coming to the ring straight from a hospital bed, Fury finally chickened out... The dude is a complete joke.

    Fish eyes set up. Keep the punters interested with a big name then pull out last second.

    You've cracked it Poirot. Why on earth would FW set this up? He's going to lose more money now.

    If it's true then hope for a speedy recovery, can't believe that card will go without the main event, fans who paid for that have been effd big time

    Precisely. I've got every sympathy for the Fury's if one of them is ill, really I do, but if Tyson is going to go around constantly shouting to the rooftops that he's, 'a fighting man that'll fight any man, anywhere, any time' etc..., then he better bloody back it up. He's bottled it, simple.
