Talk of Cleverly v Shumenov for this card a while back, all gone quiet now though. If we lived in some kind of parralel universe where the fights we want get made this could bill could be just lovely:- B Hop v Murat Cleverly v Shumenov Wilder v Chisora
Why is he not being investigated? Well this is boxing, and it has always been that way. As long as you have 'card subject to change', somewhere on the advertising, you can pretty much get away with anything.
How many times do you have to stir this Robert, everyone already knows this....Whats your agenda? Is Eddie putting out?
Couldn't care much less about the politics or fallout, only disappointed in that I missed a golden opportunity to see Wilder embarrassingly KO'd as he more than deserves.
Translation: Brit promoter to GBP: I'm going to announce the fight. GBP: We don't have a contract. Do NOT announce the fight. There is NO FIGHT at this point. Brit promoter: OK, I've set up the press conference. Announcement is on. GBP: There is NOTHING to announce. We do not have a deal yet. There is no contract. DO NOT announce the fight. Brit promoter: Too late, I've already called the press conference. Wait 'til you see these great posters I've made up. They are brilliant! GBP: No contract, no fight. I REPEAT, DO NOT announce the fight. There is nothing to announce until there is a signed contract and we have worked out all the details. Brit promoter: Do you think Wilder can be here tomorrow for the press conference? He's going to love these posters. GBP: Are you DEAF? Can you read the emails we have been sending? DO NOT announce this. Complications have arisen. Wilder's legal situation will not allow him to travel overseas at this time. There is not going to be any fight. Don't make an absolute fool of yourself and announce this fight. Brit promoter: I am here today to announce that Deontay Wilder will be fighting Chisora. Look at these posters, aren't they brilliant? I have been in contact with GBP several times over the last few days. It's ON!!!! GBP to world: Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. There is no fight, there was never any contract, it's not going to happen. It's a complete fraud and the Brit promoter knows it. Brit promoter: Tickets are on sale now. Chisora vs. Wilder. Check out these posters -- don't pay attention to that "Card subject to change" disclaimer at the bottom. Just buy your tickets. It's going to be a right cracking scrap. GBP: SMFH
Wonder if Wilder will go to prison? Wilder has only fought winos. Vlad toyed with him while sparring for the Wach fight, no competition at all. Wilder is not is Vitali or Vlad's class and there are other heavyweights who would knock him out also.
