    Out of interest why didn't they schedule this fight for the UK in the first place?

    The ticket sales and hype will clearly be bigger here, not sure why Fury needs to fight in Las Vegas again?

    It's been a while, but I think everyone has glossed over the whole "fury relinquished his uk boxing license to avoid a doping investigation " situation. I hear about a, b, and c being cheats or drug cheats etc but never Mr. Fury. But long story short, that's why he won't fight in the UK. Why else would a Joshua fight, the biggest fight in UK history not be fought on UK soil?

    It just seems totally illogical to have a fight with a British fighter defending his belts, to have it in the US. Fury vs Wilder would absolutely sell out a 60k+ stadium here.....

    Wilder is a panzy, he'll never fight out of the US.

    Because Fury can't fight in the UK. Nandrolone

    Yep. Fury has done an excellent job conning the public and making it seem like the Nandrolone thing didn't exist. But it does

    According to Eddie the reason the fight got cancelled was poor ticket sales. The plot thickens - starts at 09:27

    That's what they get for charging ****ing 500 a ticket.

    For all Furys claims of being a "fighting man" he sure doesn't do much fighting, however talking yes he does do a lot of that.
