Apologies changed the thread, looks like Fury has ended all chances of a showdown with David Price, knowing that he would get smashed to pieces, which I originally stated he would do in a previous thread. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/bo...-relinquishes-British-Commonwealth-belts.html
First off.......let me say.....I am one of Fury's bigger haterz on this board. BUT....................Why would he sign to fight Price today, when he might be able to fight Dimitrenko or Pulev for Helenius' title. That is afterall a better fight for the fans in general, and a better career move for him. He could still make a voluntary defense of that title vs Price in the summer, offering the shot to him, and making the bucks. However, signing this fight before KNOWING he isn't being considered for the vacant EBU title would be absurd.:rofl
Gutted. This fight would have been awesome. It's annoying how we miss out on fights like this because boxers are scared of what losing could do to a career. I Wish Boxing was a sport where it didn't matter as much if you lost early in your career.
I can't say that I blame Fury, even though it still registers as a duck. Why risk it against Price when Fury can probably make a lot more against one of the Klitschkos right now? That is assuming both Klitschkos win their upcoming fights of course. I would expect the Klitschkos to offer close to 1 million to fight Fury in England................put that up against around $200,000 to fight Price.
