I called it a few weeks ago. I knew fury was going to pull out, he's not in ok shape to fight a well prepared Klitschko. I hope this is a mistake though.
Moral of the story is 270 pound fatsos shouldn't be doing excessive roadwork, too much risk for an injury. This is good for Fury though buys him a months longer stay as champ.
What a ****ty day, Brexit and this, for the UK. Being reported by ESPN so it's true. Heavyweight division had momentum but it's losing it.
Its clearly a bad injury, these things happen, whats he supposed to do? No fighter on the planet would fight with that ankle.
Moral of the story is fighters who don't stay in shape in between fights have shorter primes. No Fury hasn't lost yet, but more dedicated fighters who are consistent with their training will beat him when he's caught slipping. Look how long Vlads reign was. Look how long a small HW named Evander Holyfeild remained competitive, or Benard Hopkins who @ 50 went 12 rounds with a LHW who was being avoided by many. Being in shape ALL OF THE TIME is the most valuable asset an elite fighter can have! Rolling an ankle can happen to anyone, but I'd bet had he been at, or near fight weight already this might well have not happened.
