    Seen. No one has confirmed, but I believe it. Fury's doping issue is probably the reason.

    All over UK media. As good as confirmed. Could be the doping, could be the weight, could be the fact that they can't shift any tickets - take your pick. It's an utter farce.

    There's rumours that he's in bad shape and hasn't lost enough weight, which definitely has the ring of truth to it.

    I think the weight is the biggest reason but yes ticket sales defiantly play there part. This fight is never happening and Klitchko should try and get fury stripped.

    Wait, are you guys saying ticket sales have been mediocre?

    Massively. The first date they couldn't even shift half the arena. I suspect since the announcement two weeks ago about the new date they have not seen an uptake on ticket sales.

    Fury not turning up to the press conference to me was him not wanting to show his face looking so much out of shape.

    That's shocking to me. I thought the interest in this fight was massive over there.

    Mediocre doesn't cut it. The event was promoted by Frank Warren who couldn't sell out a village hall for Ali vs Tyson.

    Na remember the first fight sucked and it took far too long to make the second fight. The fans here on the one hand have Joshua knocking out guys guaranteeing a night of entertainment. On the other hand you have fury vs Klitchko in a boring fight with very little punches being thrown.

    Yes. For the casual fan, Fury's very much second fiddle to Joshua. Doesn't get anywhere near the same exposure because he's not on Sky.

    If you can't lose enough weight to fight at heavyweight, you know you're in trouble. Butterbean be laughin' at this fool.

    Strip the fcuker of the titles asap, he has some nerve slagging David Haye off. The man is a disgrace and I'd rather watch paint dry then see his fights....
