    People do realise being vaccinated doesn't mean you can't catch covid, right?

    Clearly not.. Lol

    Great post, to me the most telling is that AJ is no chicken legged lightweight. The guy has serious body strength equal or more to Fury, so pushing & leaning will not have the same stamina sapping effect, having said that those "AJ Gym" muscles will do that to him if he's to heavy. Plus by a margin you have to say although a bit wooden & upright AJ's boxing skills are far above the misguided Walter Mitty known as Wilder...

    Fury is always playing games. I’m not the hugest fan because he clearly avoided Wlad in rematch. Wasting a truly great fighter’s last couple of years. This is a little different. I thought he dominated Wilder in first fight and then ko’s him brutally in second. To fight a 3rd time is difficult to get motivated and that can be dangerous fighting a puncher. Even though Wilder doesn’t deserve the fight it is in the contract. I hope everyone moves on honestly.

    You have to think though Long count that at the time Fury was going through mental illness & had not grasped what was happening at that time. I'm not suggesting you ,but some on here poo poo this fact as an excuse but mental health is a harsh reality , as many in this pandemic are , Unfortunately discovering, nothing hits harder than depression whoever you are...

    Cant blame them entirely. It’s what the governments have subtlety want people to believe

    Mental health is a real issue and a very serious one at that.

    Yes he is.

    He's erratic in his behavior, he always has a ready excuse when he pulls out of fights. But there's no excuse for him not getting the second vaccine, if he had it would have made it extremely unlikely that he'd catch Covid.

    I wonder whether he's faking it, and just playing head games with Wilder, who is in his best shape and well-prepared to fight.

    Fury is probably not in his best condition and wants to give himself more time to prepare. Or perhaps he's planning to completely avoid the rematch with Wilder, the same way he did with Wlad.
