    Fight is supposed to be for December 19. For an eight week camp, we would have to have it on paper and signed by the middle of October. Here we are September 5, and no word.

    Two simple Questions?

    1) Do you still think this fight will come off this year?

    2) If not, give a reason. Fury don't wan't it? Wilder don't want it? Covid 19? Lack of necessity and fan appeal?

    It might not happen in December but I believe it will happen. I think both guys want this fight.

    Don’t think Wilder wants it. After 2 fights there isn’t anything that says Wilder will do any better in a 3rd and I think deep down Wilder knows it. He can’t change style this late in the game and what got him to this level just isn’t enough to get him over Fury.

    It won’t happen because they want a live audience.

    Windmill still has to finish his book "1001 excuses why I lost to Fury"

    There is literally no point to even have this fight. Fury has dominated Wilder in both fights sans two rounds in the first fight.

    It does not need to happen at this point.
    Its hard to imagine this without a live audience as the entranecs are half the event.

    That's no reason not to have a fight. They are two of the best in the division

    Wilder did almost finish Fury in the first fight. He is definitely a live dog in the third.

    He always has a punchers chance. Take that away and he has no chance. That's what Fury did in the 2nd fight.

    if fury had been awarded the decision in the first fight, i'd agree with you (i thought fury won it), but since he didn't i'm fine with wilder getting another crack.

    The reason is lack of paying spectators
    That revenue makes it viable
    Without it both fighters wont get the money that want
    Promotors the same
