    Has the change of canvas affected the start time at all. Is the ring walks still 9:45

    Agreed it's terrible- don't understand what benefit it would bring to Wlad though...

    No it's all scheduled still for around that time, may be a few minutes later but they will keep to it if they can.

    Wlad's been training on a soft canvas so he would have been used to it. why can't someone from one of the boxing organisations decide gloves, ringsize, canvas etc so that it would be neutral, rather than the home fighter??

    I saw the vid, it's mentioned about Wlad training on a soft canvas more than once in the video. See the way Tyson was bouncing around? Unreal!

    As there are four/five sanctioning bodies who all hate each other. Ring size should be the same in the pros but clearly that would be logistically impossible.

    Five inches of foam is a lot- has Wlad's injury fully healed?

    They do, and Wlad payed them well to make the 'right' decisions! ;)

    You'd think fury would prefer a softer canvas for when he lands on it later?

    Just mind games from fury camp

    Do people really think he would walk away from a £4 million pay cheque

    I agree with this totally I remember when I watched the first fight on Froch Groves 2 and instantly changed my opinion from Groves points to Froch ko. That ring looked tiny to suit the one fighter.
    It should all be neutral no arguments, no grey areas, no nothing.

    How can neutral not be a grey area? Surely that is an oxymoron?!

    Ringsize and gloves usually stipulated in the contract. Whilst Klitschko is A side, Fury is mandatory so should've have some sway to avoid purse bids
