Deontay Leshun Wilder vs. Tyson Luke Fury II

Fury fought the three-belt unified king Wlad in Germany where everything was stacked against him

The same Wlad Bootleg D ducked and steadfastly refused to face anywhere outside of the USA even though Wlad was the then IBF, WBA and WBO unified champ, the consensus #1 ranked HW in the world, and had made 18 defences of his title (s), and obviously the A side by a million country miles. At the time Bootleg D had only beaten Stiverne and made one defence of his WBC title against Eric Molina lol

'Deontay Wilder made clear that if he fights Wladimir Klitschko in a big heavyweight unification match next year, it will be on U.S. soil and not overseas where Klitschko has fought often.

“I have the most prestigious belt in all of boxing,” Wilder said. “I have the goods. I have what he wants. Every fighter wants their name on the WBC belt. I have it, so right now I’m sitting in the driver’s seat. If he wants to fight, he’s definitely going to come here to America. That way when I take all the belts, it will be rightfully at home.”

Fury fought Bootleg D in the US where everything was stacked against him when he hadn't fought anyone with a pulse in 3 years, had been inactive for 2.5 years, spent the entirety of his inactivity abusing the hell out of his body with industrial amounts of booze, coke and junk food and battling depression, suicidal thoughts, having a nervous breakdown, and ballooning up to 400lbs of which he had to shed 147lbs of it off.

'For months Tyson Fury lived a fast-food lover's dream.

Pizza, kebabs and chocolate formed the backbone of a diet that saw him balloon to 400lb (28 stone) as he sunk into a deep depression despite beating Wladimir Klitschko to win the world heavyweight title in 2015.

Nights out would see him drink 18 pints followed by vodka and whisky chasers - and a stop at the local takeaway.'

Now Fury's returning to the scene of the crime he was robbed to face Bootleg D on his turf again where the deck will be stacked heavily against him again because Bootleg D categorically refused to come to the UK for the rematch.

What it god's name fills any of you with the belief that in the event that Bootleg D wins on Saturday he's more likely to face AJ than Tyson Fury is, the same AJ he already ran in the opposite direction from a $100 million payday, given their respective histories of travelling into the lion's den and taking on the best?
