    Kubrat Pulev could be hitting the comeback trail soon as well. Good warm up bout for both him and Fury.

    Exactly atleast when the likes of Foreman/Holmes made comebacks in their late 30s they were fighting 3 times a month in their warm up fights.

    We don't need to wait another 6 months for another comeback fight from Fury. Just do some sparring and either fight a top 10 Heavyweight or Joshua or just retire.

    Why do we have to waste time on pointless tune up fights ?

    Fury fighting the likes of that crude Russian brawler is not preparing him for anything.

    Yep, and since they don’t want to take and risk in these warm up fights who are they going to waste their time with anyway? Then there’s the chance one of them gets an injury or a cut, and then re sets the whole process, you can’t give Fury in particular an inch of leeway because he’ll take the absolute ****.

    Fury is better when he stays active. We’ve seen this time and time again.

    My 48-year old fat uncle just lost his job, so he’s looking for a paycheck. He threw a punch once in high school, so he probably meets the standard. I mean, a bit risky for Fury, but boxing is all about risks.

    I would be totally supportive to Fury battering Wilder again

    Was your uncle's job being a taxi driver in Albania? If not Fury isn't interested.

    Fury got paid allegedly 25 million for his Makhmidov tune up. That's not a tuneup it's a main event against a lesser fighter. I'm sure he wants another 25 million to fight someone limited

    Jarrell Miller and Fury is a no-go. Fury has said Miller's one of his best friends, and Miller recently referred to Fury as a "blood brother".

    He should fight Tony Yoka.

    I'm a firm believer in taking tuneups against the style of opponent you'll be facing in the bigger fight upcoming.

    Yoka was in camp for his fight that just got cancelled.

    Highly likely to get added to the Dubois Wardley card

    Ain't no way Fury is going on an undercard. This'll be it's own headliner to bleed us out of more money.
