    Fury pulls the strings now so Wilder should just sit there like a good boy and wait for his chance to fight the Lineal Heavyweight Champion of The World...

    Fury is the man he is the A side and Wilder and his nuthuggers need to come to terms with this...

    If Wilder doesn't like it then go get a bigger deal... lawl...

    Tyson Fury gets it so easy on here.

    if AJ pulled a stunt like this he would take dogs abuse.

    Fury is a hindrance to the divison

    Fury is the flavour of the month for now but if he's fighting aj and whytes leftovers two fights from now public opinion will change.

    All three have to shoulder the blame for this mess. I won't be watching any of them anymore until they face each other.

    All fans should do the same as this is a joke now.

    Hardly cleaning out a division when you have not fought either of the top 2 contenders. Lets not pretend he hasn't been avoiding both Wilder and Fury.

    Harsh to say he has been avoiding Fury. Tyson hasnt been available for the last 2-3 years since AJ became a champion

    I understand what your saying but you know just as well as I do, that robbery is claimed when the score cards are biased beyond comprehension.
    I have to concede that there was three rounds other than the 10/8s that could if been argued for wilder.

    This makes no sense.

    Hearn and AJ are selling millions of PPVs. Literally no one is going to pay to see Fury vs Bryant Jennings, Michael Hunter or Andy Ruiz.

    Exactly. How do you milk a fanbase with a guy who has no fans?

    Fury knew he was getting sparked out in the rematch so not surprised he signed a deal that he knew would effectively put an end to a swift
    return match.

    Never bought the narrative Fury would be a lot better in the rematch. In fact I think the opposite: the mental scar tissue he picked up during a fight he controlled for long periods but still got knocked down twice in will make him nervy and unsure for the rematch. He knows Wilder doesn't lose spirit and stays switched on for duration, and Fury knows he will always switch off at some point; leaving open the very distinct possibility of him getting starched again.

    As far as I can see,Fury has pulled out of a re-match with the WBA title on the line and for a 50/50 purse ,is that correct?
    I should have thought that if Fury had taken the re-match,and if he had won,which the first fight indicated he had a better than even chance of doing,he would then be in an enhanced position for a challenge to Joshua,a position that probably would mean he could demand at least 40% of the split and the fight would be
    1.In the UK .
    2.A Mega event.
    Personally I'd sooner see AJ fight Wilder than Fury ,whose style turns me off,but there is no denying such a fight would be huge in the UK.
    Fury says whatever comes into his head and compulsively opens his trap whenever a mike is held near it.
    "Its not about the money,it's about legacy." etc.Then he signs himself up for this .I don't take his loony utterances seriously and ,as far as I'm concerned he has squandered the admiration and good will of the boxing public by this signing,but its his prerogative to do so .Just spare us the claptrap Tyson !

    This x 1,000,000.

    First they criticise Fury for actually fighting Wilder claiming he was just after a cash out and now they criticise him for pulling out, claiming he is scared of him! People will switch their narrative so quickly because it's Tyson.

    I believe them when they say they want this in the autumn. Wait too long and the memories of the last fight fade. Wait too long and the chances of the US boxing public not liking what they see in a Fury tune-up grow. Remember this was a man being booed in Belfast not so long ago after the stinker versus Pianeta.
