    Not trying to troll here, but crazier things have happened before in boxing.

    To my knowledge, Vitali Klitschko is still the WBC Emeritus Champion, which could allow him to challenge Tyson Fury immediately.

    Even though Vitali is 50 and inactive, he still looks in great shape and he has avenged his brother before. Against the slick Tyson Fury, he probably doesnt stand a chance. But against this agressive version of Tyson, he can maybe compete. Incredible chin, tough as nails, stamina, iron fists.

    I can imagine Triller being interested in this kind of match up.

    You should be put away for elder abuse for even suggesting such a ridiculous fight.

    Too old. As much as I love Vits, Fury will go through him like a locomotive at this stage.

    The winner of Mike Tyson v Vitali could fight Fury.

    Its just an Honorary thing the WBC gave to Klitschko. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I would've loved to see Fury v Big Vitali but nah. Holyfield is in great shape and look what happened there

    How about Vitali vs. Wilder in about a year?

    If it did somehow happen, @Mitch87 would pick 50 year old Vitali to win due to his anti-Fury agenda.

    This actually has a very good chance of happening in the form of a shameful "exhibition".

    There would be glass all over the place once Fury landed on Klitschko’s 50 year old, near decade-retired chin. In fact, it would be a health hazard not only for Vitali, but also those within five rows of the ring. Yeah, he’s not as old and was in better shape than Holyfield was when he retired, but he also wouldn’t be facing a shot, 40-something MMA fighter awkwardly trying to box.
