    Wouldn't say I'm glad cuz both of these dudes are irritating as hell in and out of the ring but it's interesting to me mainly cuz they are the two guys manny steward said were the future of the division years back before most here knew who either of them was. But manny said fury would rule n I'm riding with his prediction. Even though it wasn't really predicidated on a fight between the two of them.

    I would have said no months ago but its apparent Wilder doesn't want Joshua and only if Fury defeats Wilder will that fight actually be much easier to make. My take on this is going to be a fury win and by knock out. What happens there after is anyones guess ,my take is its going to be two fights.

    Joshua is by far a much better fight( shorter one, bc Joshua will paste Wilder before mid rounds) but two K.O punchers is always better.

    Fury vs Wilder is good and a fight needed just bc wilders reluctance to actually fight the right guys not forced on him or ones that HE thinks poses less threat.

    The fight itself will answer all the questions on wilder who hasn't fought a PROVEN top guy yet to reinforce his status as a great champion, which going by Wilders resume is a joke at this point.

    I think this is the right fight before AJ that's if one does not pull out of course.

    Manny never saw Joshua other then maybe winning the gold medal in 2012 the year he passed . He would have been salivating with such a HW able to throw fast combos on the inside and be effective from the outside at a young 20's back in the day thinking about what impact he would have had if Joshua was then on the scene or if Manny was around today .

    Well it wouldnt be my first choice. I want the unification fight between Wilder and AJ. Obviously Wilder' team weren't interested in the fight but I'd prefer him to have picked a more difficult opponent than Fury in the likes Whyte, Povetkin, Parker or Miller.

    I'm glad this fight is happening because Wilder simply didn't want the AJ fight and unless he loses I don't see him changing that stance anytime soon.

    I'm looking forward to the fight. It's beginning to generate a lot of buzz in the states and will grow as the fight nears. With the reliable strong support from UK and their excellent fan base combined with a USA venue it will do some crazy numbers. I think both Fury and Wilder are looking at a potentially epic paydays.

    I also give Fury a lot of credit for taking this fight. He could have fought a couple more walkovers and gotten an eventual fight with Joshua. But if he pulls off an upset he will be in a very, very strong bargaining position.

    Yes, although it's not really the best fight that can be made at this point in time - Fury isn't quite there yet and Joshua is ahead of them both at the moment.

    It's always the same ****.

    If Fury would have continued fighting bums, cruiserweights and other cans everyone would hate him for that. He could easily make a lot of money with those fights as he is selling out big venues in the UK.

    Now Fury is fighting the #2 HW in the world, one of the biggest punching guys out there no matter if legal or illegal punch techniques and of course what he is getting? HATE. Because he isn't the same, he isn't fit, he isn't ready, he looked horrible recently BLAH BLAH.....PATHETIC and DISGUSTING.

    Even if Wilder will KO Fury in 1, i give a ****.

    Not really given Fury isn't ready, but then it would probably be too easy for him.
