    Im thinking of booking my flight and hotel at the luxor. Its not too expensive to fly there around November but im abit skeptical on furys reliability as hes pulled out in the past. Im wondering who else is planning a trip to sin city?

    I'd love to go but it won't happen this year for me. I've been before tho for fights and I've stayed at the luxor, you'd get a great deal in nov and if you go for the fight only thurs/Fri till sun/mon , it's affordable.
    it's a great time.

    You're best off booking flights and hotel before it's announced, but make sure you have the option to cancel when the fight inevitably doesn't happen.

    Only book if you can claim it back with no penalty if you cancel.

    I would only part with my hard earned cash for something spectacular now. Don't see this fight being worth it.....to be honest I wouldn't even travel down to Manchester for it never mind fly across the pond

    Its a spectacular match up. The contrast of styles is really intriguing, both worpd class, both unbeaten and the backstory with Fury makes this a super fight.

    I’m a big Fury fan but I agree with the poster above, book the logistics at your risk. Fury and Warren both hugely unreliable in terms of pull outs and postponements.

    I wouldn't risk it, Fury and Warren are involved so a pull out is probably more likely.

    Happened to me mate, booked May 5th for Canelo v GGG and that soft ginger ******* got caught. I stayed in the Luxor was ok, close enough to the MGM and T Mobile. Still went though as their was loads of us. Went Belfast last week and that was great.

    There's a high degree of possibility Fury is shot and Wilder will walk it.

    I'm not flying over there on the off chance Fury turns up back at 100%

    I am not flying out there either but fight is more intriguing because of Furys time away from spirtand the abuse to his body. Fury is not shot, have seen that much. Is he back to his best. I would say no. I wish Fury was at his best going into this fight, but if he were it would not be as exciting as he would win with ease.

    Even roy jones can still look good against low level opponents.

    Pianeta got ko'd by a shot Kevin johnson, we don't know anything about Fury's current level.

    RJJ was brilliant on the front foot, he was a different style of fighter. He was clinical. Not sure it’s a good comparison. I would make a comparison with someone like Andre Ward when he came back against Smith...would you say at the time that he would make someone as dangerous as Kovalev look offensively as impotent just a few fights later from that fight with Smith?

    Cheers guys il have a look into free cancellation if the fight dont go ahead. My mate is actually part of frAnk warrens media team and has recently started a youtube channel called ‘Lights out boxing’ (click link below). We will be going if he can get access to the press conferences for it will be great exposure for his channel.
