Did Fury just pull off the most creative and plausively deniable duck in boxing history ?

    Your argument is answered when you said- WILDER DID’NT WANT TO STEP ASIDE

    No, not a master conspiration of a duck. But Fury/Arum/Warren deserve spank for negotiating the Joshua fight and giving fans hope without resolving the Wilder situation first. And it smells a little funny that he announced that he’s agreeing to the Joshua fight exactly a day before arbitrary was ruled, as if the whole purpose was to send a message that he wanted the undisputed but is being forced to fight Wilder.

    Nobody in their right mind would duck Aj. He's a high reward/low risk fighter. He's got all those belts but hes also got a glass jaw. It's only a matter of time before he gets chinned again. Pulev couldn't do the job but Usyk might.

    The fact that you think someone as skilled as Fury is possibly ducking Aj is insane. He just destroyed the most powerful puncher in boxing history and schooled prime Wladimir Klitschko several years ago.

    Ludicrous

    Yes, but as you go on to say, Fury WAS trying to get out of the third fight with Wilder. So he didn't "KNOW" he had to face Wilder, he genuinely thought he might not have to.
    You were right, the contract was sound.
    We were wrong, we kind of believed Arum's statements that the contract had expired, or at least had some hope in that direction.
    That doesn't mean we were all shocked or surprised at this turn of events. or that we've changed our tunes, we just follow the events.
    We all knew Arum was setting up the Wilder fight but we also knew that the Fury-AJ fight was being set up too.

    Your prediction of the case turned out to be right, the same as the other two Wilder fans on this entire site.
    But your prediction that Wilder will kill Fury is probably about as good as your prediction of Wilder KOing him in 1 round last time.
    We shall see.
    I'll be happy to see the fight anyway, whatever happens. I've never had a problem with Fury-Wilder 3 from a fan's point of view, but it's probably pointless in the sense that Fury being the better man has already been established.
