    Hello!!
    First post, ever! Read a lot though

    Anyway, what are your thoughts on how safe the fury fight is with the doping hearing? Got tickets, but need to book over £400 worth of train and hotel.... don't want to lose out, but don't want to wait and see prices rise!!

    BoxNation say it's not at risk - but they would

    Thanks

    Safe enough you would hope but these things are never guaranteed. Pay your money and take your chances. I'd like to think we are over the worst of the on-off saga and we get to see the rematch.

    safe as long as Shannon Briggs isn't in the crowd near you.

    It's not on until they are in the ring. This could yet get cancelled for good. Hennessy is a disaster zone as a promoter.

    I still wonder if Fury will show up for the fight, his head appears to be messed up......................so............I am not confident about this fight happening. I know Fury does not want the rematch for sure...............

    So essentially even if it does get passed the anti-doping panel, it's still at risk. I know all fights at risk but this seems more so than usual.

    Surely he's contractually bound to fight though? I don't know how it works (you guys know more than me i'm sure), but he's pushed it back once?

    It's hard to imagine a wider contrast between Vlad and fury as far as professionalism, discipline, focus, mental stability, etc., go


    It sure would be a disappointment if they were to pull the plug due to Furys doping charges after waiting so long

    You don't have to fear the doping issue, because the hearing and possible suspension takes place a couple of days later.

    That would be great news - but how do you know that? All of the articles so far have said it will happen before the fight?
