He looks to have lost a good few lbs from his last fight. I give him one more "gimme" bit his next fight after this needs to be at least a high level journeyman.
WBC was so impressed by Tyson Fury comeback win over Sefer Seferi that they rewarded TF with a No 7 ranking in the latest July rankings.
Tyson Fury won't come in great shape like Wladmir Klitschko did against Francesco Pianeta did. However no worries add another scalp to Fury's CV. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
We know Francesco Pianeta won't come in near Wlad fight shape either, so that fixes that issue instantly.
Really hoping this fight with Wilder is legit and not two fighters beating the drum, desperately trying to be heard above the recent AJ/Povetkin/Whyte/Parker/Chisora talk. If it's made (and I expect atleast one injury postponement if it is) we'll see both Fury and Wilder in with a hungry prime opponent for the first time in their careers. We should finally learn or confirm a lot.
It looks like over two decades late Joshua vs Wilder is a repeat of Bowe vs Lewis and Tyson Fury fight with Joshua could well be a repeat of Tommy Morrison vs Lewis and remembered what happened to Morrison with Bentt which scuttled that plan. I doubt this fight will happen this yr and if it does come off more likely in first or second quarter 2019. Wilder was offered a rumored 8 m for Whyte and 15 m for Joshua and highly unlikely Tyson bring in more. Wilder is not big enough in the states and despite Fury making a lot of noise his next fight he isn't even the main event. The reason Mayweather vs McGregor was so successful and put together so quickly was that they both had huge social media followings and were both No 1 PPV in both their perspective sports. Warren has said its not a cash out fight but lets face it Fury is not the same fighter he was before in his comeback and a fight for Wilder against Whyte and Joshua is very dangerous for him because of their punching power. Little downside for Wilder in facing Fury as if he wins the exposure and publicity would put him even in a better position in negotiations with Joshua for a superfight. This content is protected
Tyson Fury has a supporter in Lennox Lewis. Lewis has welcomed the recent speculation Fury is fighting Wilder. Lewis '' Its the right move, right now for Fury. He 's standing up for Britain like i did and you have to give him all the respect for agreeing to take Joshua's place and fight Wilder. '' Lennox has first hand exp at disappointment at the failure of fruition of a super fight. This content is protected This content is protected
