Wilder says Fury fight will be announced next week

I know which of those is more likely.

 

Who doesn't want to see that red hot rubber match?

 

Al and Showtime just love ruining rival PPV's don't they...They did this with Mayweather-McGregor, putting it just before Canelo-GGG to hurt the PPV sales and take the PPV crown instead. And now they are doing a similar thing, taking the limelight away from a great fight by promoting their own in the same week. Disgraceful.

And what's worse, BT are doing BOTH fights. They won't be particularly pleased either.

 

Hmmm you might be right. I was thinking how Hearn waited to announce Joshua/Povetkin so it would get all the attention but Fury and Wilder can't just set up a press conference and expect all the media to show up like for Joshua. Fury and Wilder will need to take advantage and piggy back off the media attention for GGG/Canelo.

 

Maybe they've finalised a deal with a Vegas casino for the fight venue so they want to hold the press conference there. Time to do that is when the maximum number of boxing press is in Vegas.
