    The Daily Star are reporting that Frank wants Fury/Wlad at Wembley next summer. Two issues with this- isn't Mick still Fury's promoter and would Frank be able to handle the logistics of a Wembley Stadium fight?

    I still recall dear old Bruno selling out Wembley for McCall, just a shame Wlad is a league above that dude.

    Fury can't sell a ticket to save his life. Would be an epic failure.

    fury is not loved enough by the british public to fill wembley , the card would have to be the strongest ever for it to sell out .

    If the fight isn't on sky or bbc/itv it won't get anywhere near the publicity required, then again after the shambles at the excel I doubt wembley would want to get involved

    Wlad is one of the few fighters who can sell out a stadium on his own so he doesn't need this. As the champion he will not give up 'home' advantage.

    Start with Vlad will not give up home advantage , and to fight in England who could blame him ,,

    Secondly he would probably want paying up front or at least the dosh put in a account ,, and who could blame him

    Third and most important I doubt if Fury really wants to fight him , and if he does , he's gonna meet a guy closer to his own size , a guy who has good movement , good jab and a dig big enough to hurt .

    Fury will talk , posture , call everyone names and only push for the fight when the cameras are on him , other than that he'll wait for Vlad to retire , or until he has no choice and has to grab a shot before Joshua gets one .

    There not stupid they can see he's only looking good with guys a lot smaller .

    Won't happen unless fury is desperate for a payday and a beating.

    That fight with Ustinov gained a lot of interest in such a short time I reckon fury fights him next defending the euro belt and then maybe another defence against pulev if he can't get the wilder/stiverne winner.

    No ****ing chance they face Ustinov.

    They'll face a joke opponent that Tyson walks all over.

    Fury has the tools to beat both Ustinov and pulev

    Doesn't mean he'll fight either. He has the mandatory position, they'll not risk that vs a live, credible opponent.

    Ustinov yes, but Pulev would be a very dangerous fight for him. Tougher than Cunningham.
