2 weeks ago: "Catterall/Davies is all but done, we're just deciding the venue" week later: fight announced. i admit at first i said "no way this happens" but everything that has happened since indicates it will be happening
Finalising the negotiations and announcing the fight is the easy part. The hard part is getting Tyson in the ring!
i think in tysons interview after signing with warren he said 'several fights' or something like that, my guess would be a 4 fight deal, and the 4th will probably be wilder, beat wilder and he'll sign an extension with frank for more ppv fights, and if he loses his deal is up and he will probably retire to his caravan
You say that but by the time November/December comes around he will have pretty much been in a 7/8 month solid camp.
The comment was intended to be taken with a pinch of salt... But Warren does tak nonsense, especially where Fury is concerned...
Here's a great video of Fury leading up to the rematch against Wlad. The whole thing is worth watching because of how damn hilarious he is all the way through. But if you listen from just before 3 minutes in he says "I'm feeling fantastic, feeling strong, feeling fit, feeling ready. I could go now I wish it was this weekend" This content is protected I don't doubt if the fight was that weekend he would have smashed it. But we all know what happened instead... This time he knows regardless of what happens with Wilder, the Joshua fight is always there. I don't think it's great him having that as backup when you throw in how unreliable he is anyway. I also don't believe he will be as disciplined with his current trainer compared to back then under Peter. I'd love Wilder vs Fury to happen I've got everything crossed. But until I see him in the ring I'm going to try not to get my hopes up..
If this is true then Fury clearly just wants one final big payday because if he was taking his comeback seriously he would know he is not ready for this fight yet by a long shot, he'll get badly KO'd.
Damn, I completely dismissed the fight as nonsense PR, but I’m starting to think even if both camps weren’t that serious, that’s it’s now going abit to far now to pull this back. If Fury looks good physically and mentally next week, then unbelievably this might get done. Has Wilder confirmed that he is coming? I know showtime have picked up the card, so maybe that’s part of the deal. It would be epic if he faced off in the ring with Tyson. Interesting times
I don’t think he is. If you’re Wilder you definitely fancy your chances against the Fury that faced Seferi, a victory also then gives him more leverage in the negotiations with Joshua. The Wilder camp rubbing their hands together thinking it’s an easy nights work whilst Warren is pinching himself. Nobody seen him getting a fight of this magnitude so soon.
99% done coming from Fish is about the same as a sunny day weather forecast followed by a downpour landing 5 mins later lasting for hours
I still think this is PR hype I dont see Warren risking his cash cow Tyson Fury against such a big puncher, so soon into his comeback He has only fought an Albanian bum in a exhibition fixed fight so far
