    He's still been in the gym training. Usually posts videos of this and has had to keep in shape, as a big fight was always on the cards. Just needed a date to work towards.

    We will see. And full credit to Fury if he wins. That's what the sport is supposed to be all about isn't it? Fighting the best to see who is the best. But Fury will have to do it twice and I truly doubt he has the wild boars balls to do that. Oh wait, he actually does... hahahah. But if Fury actually wins and wins fair and square, I have no problem admitting that I was wrong

    Fury's is an odd ball a once in a generation talent. Look who he spared pre Wlad. A kick boxer and couple of a nobodies.
    I'm sure if he's worried about the lay off he will go and find the partners he needs to sharpen up with.
    That said as long as he's fit I think his movement will be enough to see him home VS AJ. He can just flick the jab for half a fight wait for the gas tank to empty then go for the throat.

    If thats the case you could make a claim that Wilder coming in several pounds heavier than his normal fighting weight could have effected his stamina and speed in the 2nd Fury fight.

    It COULD be a factor but its unlikely given how skilled Fury has been since 2013. He's been training and sparring vigorously and has had dozens of bouts in the ring. And we've seen that Fury even after abusing his body for several months he can come back quickly and box Wilders head off. A little ring rust shouldn't do much. Especially since Joshua is a stiff robot with no gas tank that went life and death with Fury's leftovers occurring to people here

    You cant realy say that about Wilder as he looked just as quick as normal but obviously had no idea how to deal with Fury.

    Im not saying it will, i very much doubt it will, im just saying it could, we will find out a few rounds in.

    Not everybody is a weird fanboy clinging onto anything as an excuse to not be wrong. I dont care either way who wins.

    Hardly struggled when he won 10 rounds with one eye. Did you see how bad that cut was? Have you even watched the fight? Fury battered Wallin from pillar to post.

    I don’t think a warm up fight would do Fury any good. He needs a challenge in front of him to bring out the best in him.

    He always drops his level against lesser opponents.

    I think Fury’s win over Wallin will look better over the next couple of years. I think he has the potential to be a top 10 guy - he’s got a good one next against Breazeale and I could see him boxing someone like Pulev or Ortiz after that. People forget that Wallin was the favourite to get the Joshua fight after Miller pulled out. I think he’s a solid boxer, a good combination puncher that puts good pressure on and is active for a big man, definitely a contender.

    Must admit the cut and one good shot in the 12th I didnt see Wallin give Fury too many problems.
    Fury was folding him over with body shots late in the fight. IF he had come in a bit heavier as per his Dad's comments I wonder if Wallin had gone the distance.
