    Everything is very quiet about these two on Nov 29th, iv just watched the latest promo for the night and there isn't a word about the main event but it goes through all the undercard.

    anyone else expecting another dose of 'dark age promoting'

    I have no sympathy for Fury if this one gets cancelled too.
    Before, I had sympathy, but when he pulled out of the Ustinov fight (which would have been a better, more interesting, match than Chisora anyway) he lost a lot of credibility.

    His reasons for that were more than credible?

    No, not really.
    Professionals shouldn't back out of an important fight at late notice because a relative gets sick. It's unprofessional.

    Your opinion, I think it depends on individual circumstances personally - I might be wrong but I'm sure that it was Tyson's uncle that died due to the illness. If I was the opponent then I like to think I'd be understanding although frustrated.

    I think the biggest problem about that was that Fury constantly has a pop at people for pulling out of fights no matter what the circumstances and has said he'll always get in and fight

    Maybe due to Fury's fine from the BBBoC I doubt he will now say anything.

    It is a fight that has lost the boxing public's interest due to the various cancellations.Just hope it finally goes ahead now.

    The interest seems to be more in BJS-Eubank Jr.

    Frank does press conference's and Eddie does shows, gloves are off, ringside head to head's you name it.

    I'm pig sick of both build up's to be honest.

    Completely agree, he talks his fair share of rammle. But in what happened there I feel for him.

    Sure, but with all due respect he was not scheduled to fight Ustinov - who is credible and potentially dangerous. It's not unreasonable for Fury to withdraw due to family circumstances, but also, actually, it's not really unreasonable to pull out because of the stature of the replacement. He didn't train to fight Ustinov.

    Fury is trading on his zero loss resume - it's a business, as well as a sport, and I don't hold it against him that he pulled out, even if it is a little frustrating given it would have been an interesting match.

    A press conference just went up on YouTube, can't post the link because haven't enough posts, no sign of Tyson . Was very boring, chisora is about as interesting as watching paint dry , Don Charles made some interesting comments about the refereeing in the first fight saying how Tyson was getting away with a lot if stuff. Sounds like barren and co will be stacking all the cards against Fury with the ref and judges and Fury's going to need a stoppage to win.
