    Say what you want about Furys current level. Hes still a big name HW. Even my Grandpa who doesnt follow boxing wants to watch it now that he found out about it.

    And says he wants Wilder to send him back across to England with his ass handed to him and broken nose. This is the same guy who treats the 4th of July like it's Christmas.

    "I wasnt a draft dodger like these communist hippies that were in the streets".

    "If I was 50 years younger I'd have found bin laden and stabbed him with the American flag".

    Some of the stuff he says lmao.

    Fury will get knocked out for the first time in his life. That's my prediction.

    It's an historic fight.

    One of only three occasions in boxing history when an undefeated sanctioning body champ has faced an undefeated lineal champ.

    1971 Smokin' Joe Frazier v Muhammad Ali - Fight of the century.

    1988 Iron Mike Tyson v Michael Spinks - Most heavily hyped fight in my time as a boxing fan.

    2018 Bomb Squad Wilder v Tyson Fury

    This fight was hyped to the moon back then. It's too bad it didn't live up to the hype, since Spinks had two shot knees going into the fight and was merely showing up for a payday.

    Massive hype.

    Too bad if you paid for a ringside seat & got stuck in the drinks queue.
