    We have had two fights and both have been in wilder's comfort zone

    why can't he grow some balls and come to the champion's backyard?

    Is he scared?

    It would cost too much to ship his heavy costumes over.

    Has Fury expressed any desire to fight in the UK? They broke the box office record for a heavyweight title fight with their rematch. It would be the financially prudent thing to hold the third match in the US.

    if it is in the uk BOTH the brits and americans can watch it because it would be around 5-6pm EST in the US

    Casino money in Vegas plus 80$ US ppv.

    Thats 2 reasons why the US will always be favored over the UK

    Not saying they wouldn't come out to watch, but if Fury really wanted it to take place in the UK I'm sure he could force it to happen. After all, he holds all the cards now. But generally, the sponsorships and site fees and all that nonsense is more lucrative in the US.

    Does Fury care where #3 is at?

    He seems quite intent on fighting in the US. I get the impression he's turned his back on the UK a bit, in terms of fighting there.

    If I remember right, Fury prefers to fight in the US. It didnt look like fighting in Vegas hurt him any.

    Fury probably enjoys being the showman and entertainer in the US, where he’s a bit more warmly received for his eccentric behavior. Joshua seems to have a stranglehold on the hearts and minds of the people in the UK.

    Doesn’t Fury reside in Las Vegas now?

    They don't deserve anything.
    Fury beat Wlad and they treated him like he'd just come back from an amateur lawn balls tournament.
    They were too busy worshipping AJ, transitioning from their love affair with Haye.
    Then the witchhunters came out with their false outrage.
    The married father of five was the terrible role model while the playboy who knocks up strippers was the golden boy.
    This was before the Fury AWOL binge.
    British threw Fury to the wolves and worshipped Joshua.
    So now they can stick with their man.

    I doubt Deontay is gonna wanna fight Fury again any time soon. No doubt he has a rematch clause but he's been pummelled by Fury twice now...he was lucky to get the draw the first time in a fight where he was dominated, and now he's been stopped. I'm not so sure he's gonna be too quick to sign up for a rematch.
