    Fury is defo in better condition than the Wilder fight. Schwarz just looks like a big doorman, no idea if he has anything in his locker to even make it competitive.

    There is a lot of hype for this.

    Joshua's fight was overshadowed by the CL final.

    Schwarz is probably about the same as the kind of guys Fury was fighting on Channel 5 about 7 or 8 years ago.

    He’s put himself in a weird position really. After the Pianetta fight this would’ve been a rational step up but going and facing Wilder, arguably beating him then withdrawing from the rematch to face Schwarz just seems odd.

    Schwarz could be anyone. He has the WBO ranking. It's not a cherry pick or someone who has been selected as a soft touch he is just in the number 2 spot and part of the route to Frank and Bob's favoured WBO belt. It was the right fight to make given the circumstances and looking at the rankings the obvious choice.

    Shocking bout after just facing the most fearsome puncher in the division, Fury does not fool anybody.

    Axel Shultz this german dude ain't. Easy work for Fury.

    I think Fury is fighting this guy PURELY for rankings.
    He's ranked high yet a really safe fight to take.

    But at the same time we know he’s not going to take a mandatory fight. So it’s bizarre.

    Sad to see Groves like that. Big John looking absolute dapper in finest M&S shirt and tie double pack.

    David Haye commentating for BT? Wonder how Tyson feels about that.

    Obviously not that strongly.

    Tyson would have the influence to get him off there if he really wanted to but he clearly doesn’t mind. I like Tyson but we all know the **** he talks, his hate for David Haye was/is competitive nonsense.
