    8 weeks maximum to announce? I'm not too sure about that tbh.

    Especially seeing as Fury vowed never to fight Wilder again after his stupid accusations and excuses.

    Fury would look rather silly if he did.

    Both were training for a late December fight against each other. The alternate dates - when the Fox and ESPN execs asked for them - were in January and February.

    Wilder is in shape. Fury is in shape. (He posts videos every day.) That's the fight the execs spending the money ... those are the dates they asked for.

    That's the fight until stated otherwise.

    I don't agree.

    If it's "the fight" and it's made, get promoting it. They have all of December (toughest month for promotions) and all of January and that's all, if Wilder's serious about Early January being a possible date, considerably less.

    Fight is too big to spring a surprise.

    Eh, Helenius has turned it around with that Kownacki win. Wouldn't mind seeing the fight for the aesthetic of two giants with frightening straight rights slugging it out.

    Punches too hard to be considered a possible Wilder opponent.

    They are promoting it. Every day. Tyson Fury posts stuff every day. Everyone complained Wilder wasn't posting stuff. Now Wilder is posting stuff. All the time.

    They're both training. Both talking. Both going to fight in January and February ...

    They are waiting for a date. Same story. It was going to be in July. Push it back to October. Push it back to December. Now, sometime in January or February. Those were the alternate months when the fight was called off for December.

    Why are they keeping it secret? This is the opposite of what usually occurs :lol:

    They aren't keeping it a secret. They are waiting for a date. Now places are shutting down again in the U.S.

    They have been doing this for seven months.

    Ok, I'll put this another way - why is there no announcement? Why aren't they promoting in traditional ways? Why are the two main participants swearing they won't be fighting each other rather than trying to encourage people to believe it's happening, despite the repeated delays? Why aren't they saying publicly they are fighting?

    Takam said that deal was 95% done for their fight before they pulled out last minute.

    Wilder has ruled out Fury.

    Fury has Vowed against fighting Wilder because of his excuses and accusations.

    It doesn't look likely it's going to happen on that.

    Usually announcements come with a date. Right?

    Every state has different Covid rules. They are now all changing yet again.

    That's why it's sometime in January or February. Nobody is being "coy." They don't know.

    If they announce Fury-Wilder III early next year, and that surprises you, then I'm spoiling the surprise, I guess. (LOL)

    SURPRISE!
