    Povetkin Usyk maybe. Ortiz would be the only top heavyweight available.

    Tyson was probably told to pull out of his purse bid by the man he signed a contract with. He said as much this week that he’ll do what Arum tells him.

    Tyson schooled the **** out of Wilder and should have been WBC world champ. Real fans know this. There’s nothing for him to prove and a strong chance he’d get robbed again in America.

    Who gives a ****? He’s been doing a merry-go-round for a long time now whilst getting PPV money.

    Team Wilder are furious.

    I have to say this isn't a good look. People have been on Joshuas back for a while now but he's never pulled out of a fight. Twice Fury has done this now with the Klitschko rematch and now Wilder. Looks like greed and money come first for all the top HW's nowadays.

    I think it's also fair to say Joshua has never been in a fight that wasn't heavily slanted in his favour. Twice Tyson has been the underdog and overcome. When will Joshua/Matchroom step up to the plate and fight a live opponent?

    The writings been on the wall for the past couple of weeks- still sh*te news.

    Not impressed with Fury giving it the spiel yesterday about fighting 'the best' and then clearly ducking the rematch. Should've kept quiet as Wilder is the one left on the moral high ground, which is saying something.

    Fury's style lends itself to someone like Wilder or Joshua trying to take his head off; I personally believe he beats both. Instead, he will be in there with the likes of a Jennings, or a Pulev, probably win but stink the place out and lose his momentum.

    Boxing is farsical sometimes.

    Both the Crusher and GGG felt robbed and went for a immediate re match.............

    Fury runs for the hills instead of a re match despite claiming he was "robbed"..................according to this board Wilder is a total Bum so how come Fury does not want to avenge his "robbery" against a Bum ?

    He probably can't believe his luck. Joshua was out in the cold with regards the two biggest fights out there for him. I wouldn't be surprised if Wilder signed on for a couple of fights with AJ just to spite Fury

    Fury has gone for the money option which almost every fighter takes. He boxed Wilder far sooner than his promoter, trainer and father advised him after months of obesity and recreational drug use.

    Yet he went into that fight after two warm ups against mug opponents.

    Your argument that he’s “running for the hills” holds no weight. Are you trying to suggest he’s scared of Wilder after everything I mentioned above?

    Povetkin could be facing Usyk no?

    Or
    As soon as people get some balls and fight him instead of hiding behind imaginary splits.
