    Well surely then that's exactly the issue, why get sparked out by Price this year for around £100'000 when you could do the same thing against a Klitschko for well over a million.

    This. It's obviously a difficult position for Tyson Fury.

    However, I do feel every fighter has a responsibility to themselves and the sport to do everything they can to make the right thing happen in situations like this. Unfortunately the politics let boxing down again and stop a great fight from being made.

    I'm quick to knock the likes of Cleverly and Burns for taking Frank's fights so it would be hypocritical of me to fully support Fury just because I'm a fan.

    Don't think either of them are great shakes to be fair, Price doesn't really control people as well as he should with his jab. Fury's defence is far too open.

    Predictable that they wouldn't fight.

    The promoter is nothing without a fighter to promote, the fighter is still a fighter without his promoter, while I agree that this duck will have been instigated by Hennessy, Fury is at fault for letting it go and allowing his team to adopt a position that is entirely at odds with how they have positioned him in previous marketing.
