Will Wilder vs Tyson Fury happen or not?

[TooMuch]

Yep, Fury's gonna slap that bitch silly for 12 rounds in December.

Wilder needs a big fight.

Fury can always say he was not ready after long lay off if he loses. If he wins, there will be the AJ money fight.

[KiwiRider]

Even if a contract is signed, I will believe it when they step on the ring.
Wilder was going to fight other guys but they ' failed' a drug test. Someone better explain to Tyson that a drug test is not checking for purity.

[Roars Like Me]

I think Wilder knows this is his best chance of beating him so he should make sure it happens.

[SenorPipino]

Warren won't let Fury step into the ring with a breathing opponent this year.

To suggest that he would welcome a Wilder fight in 2018 is fantasy.

To echo Sugar Ray Leonard 'It'll never happen.'

[gilgamesh]

I hope so. It'd be nice to see the Fury train so violently derailed.

The Wilder-Fury bout will almost certainly be officially announced within the next ten days.

I won't be surprised, if Wilder travels to Belfast to climb into the ring after Fury's bout.

They've already said that's going to happen. Wilder is definitely attending Fury's next bout.

I feel the only reason why contracts haven't been signed yet, with the bout being officially announced already, is due to Fury participating in the Pianeta fight.

It's nothing to do with that.
They can't agree a date. Fury wants December, Finkel wants November.

Please show the source confirming this?

I've just listened to a telephone interview with Fɍȁnk Wȁɍɍȅn that was only a few hours old and he never mentioned this issue. Similarly, I've posted numerous articles to this thread over the last week and this "conflict" hasn't been mentioned by any party.

I'm not saying you're wrong by the way, I am simply asking for you to backup what you've said.

Fɍȁnk Wȁɍɍȅn's own words says that the deal is "99%" done.

Gareth A Davies of the Telegraph said it on Talk Sport yesterday after he had spoken to Fury and Warren.

[Ilya Muromets]

Fury won't even have had one real fight since his comeback before Wilder. I'm figuring Pianetta will just be another exhibition and Fury still won't be in top shape. I hope he's not just goofing on us and wanting to make some money and get ko'd and cash out.

[jamamb]

didnt fury already say a week or two ago its done and only took 2 days

[Wales]

Also, Fury is such an unpredictable character Warren will be thinking cash in as quickly as possible incase he goes off the rails again.

I really don’t see what Fury has to lose. Nobody will criticise him if he gets beat as the general consensus is already that the fight is coming too soon into his comeback.

[SenorPipino]

So, is it still close to being signed?

[gilgamesh]

I mean we got Fury who went into hiding for years to avoid a rematch with somebody he'd already beat, and Wilder who needed 6 title defenses to fight somebody ranked in the Top 10...I wouldn't hold my breath

[SenorPipino]

Fury just went on Twitter and asked the Twitter Universe If they thought the Wilder fight would happen this year.

Basically, the fans told Fury that he was full of it, and If the fight was close to being signed as he claims, then why the hell are you asking us?

For once in his life, Fury had no response.

[Syntax Error]

I don't believe it will happen in December 2018: I can't predict beyond next year because boxing politics are so unpredictable.

Fury is a talker, not a walker & I just can't see his team letting him get into the ring with someone that will hit him back anytime soon.

There's too much invested in Fury remaining unbeaten to risk that.

If the fight does happen in December, I will give Fury all the praise on Earth.

[ValMar]

Yes, it will happen.

[SenorPipino]

I don't think it will happen either for basically the same reasons Syntax Error stated above.

They're not even talking about December any longer, because of PPV conflicts, but rather mid November.

Just 3 months away seems far too soon to be credible.

[Evander]

Not this year

[SenorPipino]

Wilder scheduled to be in Belfast Saturday for Fury fight.

Post fight should be entertaining.

Remember how Joshua didn't want Wilder to appear at his fight with Parker earlier this year?

He doesn't have Fury's keen sense of the value of promotion.

That'll teach him to keep underestimating the fans. They're not all as polite as Wladimir Klitschko.

Eddie Hearn actually wanted Wilder to be ringside for Joshua’s bout and also be involved in the press conferences, but would only allow the American to enter the ring immediately after the contest as long as he had agreed the terms of the contract for the AJ fight beforehand. There wasn't actually a fight to promote, since no agreement was in place.

In stark contrast, the reason why Deontay is attending Fury’s bout against Francesco Pianeta, is to announce a November title defence against Tyson immediately afterwards. Fɍȁnk Wȁɍɍȅn has pretty much confirmed that the contract has been agreed already, pending the Gypsy King's victory this weekend.

The difference between both situations is drastic and I am surprised that you didn’t know this.

If you don’t believe me, Google it for yourself or ask one of the other forum members to verify the accuracy of my words.

[deadpan]

Fury mentions Charr in passing a surprising amount. I reckon that's the route he'll take. Defend that diluted wba title and claim AJ and Wilder are ducking him.
