    It won't, so prepare yourself.

    Try not to cry too much, it's very undignified - which is difficult, I know, as American men blub constantly...but you'll have to hold it together.

    You must accept that you are an irrelevance in the heavyweight scene, and Britain is the number one for heavyweights.

    The two "best" American heavyweights of recent years are a fat guy who fights for Mexico and the worst technical fighter in boxing history.

    I know that burns, but it is the way it is.

    Who cares if it's in the UK or not. Doesn't matter if it's in Britain, America, China, Arabia, Timbuktu, the Amazon Forest, the South Pole or etc....The fight better ****ing happen.

    There could be 200 Brits in a leisure centre and they would still produce a better atmosphere than 20,000 yanks at the MGM grand.

    I don’t care where it is as long as Fury stops him and I bet he does fairly comfortably

    I bet he doesn’t stop him at all never mind fairly comfortably. If anyone is getting stopped it’s Fury.

    They should erect a ring in between the stones at Stonehenge and stage the fight there with no audience. Or if not there at some other famous historical landmark in Great Britain. They can have Fantasia on a Theme By Thomas Tallis playing on the PA in the background as the duke it out with each other

    I want it to be held in whatever country Tony Bellend is banned from so he can't be there. There must be a few.

    It will happen where the fighters and promoters can generate the biggest purse. That is the morally right thing to do as well by maximising the economic value of the fight. It’s a relatively short career so I don’t begrudge the lads taking the first fight abroad provided they cash out. Boxers fight for money that is why they are called prize fighters, the Glory is the by product of success.

    I think it should happen at the South Pole with an immediate rematch in the middle of the Amazon.

    Agreed.

    It's the rowdy football supporter vibe that translates to boxing, which is why when British fans follow a fighter abroad there is singing, chanting, banter etc...

    Brits have travelled to America for decades to support British fighters, often in their thousands.

    By contrast, American fighters hardly ever have a vocal and passionate set of fans willing to travel thousands of miles to support them.

    It's just a different mindset.
