    I don’t see why we have to watch an all British undisputed heavyweight title fight at 5 in the morning personally.

    Get yourself to Vegas then and watch it at a decent hour.

    Im sure they will adjust the time to be a bit earlier but cant see it being any earlier than 2am.

    If the fight does take place in Vegas I suspect it will be at a relatively reasonable hour for UK fans. Like 2am!

    5am is far better than 2am. Easy to get up for.

    A 5 am fight you have to be up at 4 am just in case. I end up getting about 3 hours sleep so Sunday is a write off. 2am is perfectly manageable, just a late night.

    Honestly though I'd rather it be in Vegas, at stupid o'clock, with a half decent atmosphere than in some soulless oil money venue in the desert with a few thousand disinterested Saudis in attendance.

    It should be in the UK really but I'm not fussed, I just want it made because it feels like the Heavyweight division is on hold until this happens.

    After watching John Fury's interview with Sky, I now firmly believe that the Fury camp want the fight delayed and let Tyson get a warm up fight in before fighting AJ.

    I don't mind getting up in the early hours for a fight, few hours kip, then up an hour before the fight, neck a few jars, great.

    Would be better if it was UK mind.

    True but that's the same for everyone else. We aren't privy to insider info so it takes educated guesswork to come up with something more plausible than "fUrY iS dUcKiNg Aj" boring reductive debate.

    Buy a tv from the states and you will get to watch it at the same time as they do.

    if people enjoy it, fair enough, but I've seen people say that they are sick of it yet keep trying to guess and then ultimately end up with conclusions that could be far from the truth.

    Neither boxer will duck the other. I don't really care who "wants it more", because both of them will agree to the bout. As it stands, people are speculating that Fury might want to get a bout in beforehand and from what he and John Fury are saying, it seems like that could be the case.

    It's a big shame that it won't be in the UK, but the second bout might be. Very predictable. People will do anything for an extra few quid.

    That's probably a good idea.
