Tyson Fury weight

[DrDuke]

wilder already came to the uk and shared a ring with fury, and then fury was in the us mouthing off at wilder after wilder beat szpilka. neither case did a fight btwn them then happen

im waiting for more then just gobbing and rumors

Fury had a deal to face Klitschko, when he confronted Wilder after Szpilka, they couldn't fight then. Now their was a talk about organising Fury-Wilder.

[jamamb]

ya, so he talked tough, said he was going to do this and that, and then didnt fight again for like 3 years. lol ya his word shouldve been trusted

these guys have been in each others backyards sharing rings and squaring off multiple times

[MightyWarrior]

And BTW, Joshua’s win over Wlad eclipses anything these two clowns have managed by a country mile - but he’s stepped off the superhighway onto a country backroads to nowhere since then

lol ya, takam , parker, and povetkin is just nothing is it mate, instead of fighting a run of opposition no one else has he just shouldve been talking big and making promises

Borrrrrrrrring !!!!!

20-1 on against all those benchwarmers,

he needs to fight Deontay f***ing wilder

Even though I’m sure all those “worthy” trade fights probably gave you a pugilistic stiffy,

[jamamb]

hes not going nowhere at all, hes continuing to build already the strongest record in hw boxing. its just retarded to give so much credit to other guys for simply running there mouths yet not doing nearly as much. furys one opponent in 3 years was total crap and wilder hasnt even done as much in 10 years as aj had done in 4.

i am interested in fury vs wilder but theyve already been in rings together before yapping at each other, it may well not happen at all and then what credit do they deserve

[Oiky]

Couple people quoted me

Pair of em didn't agree with what I was saying

We soon see won't we boys , no way wilder beats fury "if it ever happens" as some one put it , it will happen an its fury's fight

[jamamb]

btw, pov would still easily be a top 2 or possibly wilders best opponent, the same wilder whose apparently already done so much to make himself the guy aj HAS to fight

really, the other hws havent come close to doing enough so that a guy like pov can be scoffed at. wilder until a few months ago had fat bermane stiverne as his 10 year career best achievment, and then barely got past ortiz, who is even older then pov and was super lumbering vs scott (since people are mentioning povs age and him not looking great last time). pov would be favoured to beat pretty much everyone wilders fought. lets not act like hes nothing

[jlh]

Let's get back to the serious stuff. Supposedly Billy Joe Saunders threw a chicken at Wilder at Nandos. Actually footage going round.
The hype for Fury N Wilder has now reached new levels.

[Nightmare Roy]

I see his old man John was having verbals with Wilder at the weigh in. Looks like the fight is actually happening. I was sceptical at first but fair play to the big man! Hope he makes a statement tomorrow then gives Wilder dogs abuse

Yeah, I just saw it too.

Ha ha camera started way to early catching the respectful hand shake and how you doing

[fizzjambo]

He really has made huge strides in regard to his weight loss over the past 12 months or so.

What’s his lightest ever weight at a weigh in as a pro? Cannae be under 245?

If only there was a website or source which would reveal that information, some sort of boxing record place maybe

Thanks princess, I’ll be sure to check it out sometime

[lillywhite14]

Ha ha great stuff, while Hearn ducks Wilder this one is what’s gonna keep us all entertained - the build up will be ACE.
Just so long as Fury keeps his chin out of the way against this latest bum, this fight is certainly on - wilder ain’t coming over here just for a laugh - but like Fury says, his legs are just too skinny - I really don’t think he holds a shot any longer - Wilder will absolutely banjo him, one shot and it’s over.


Anthony Joshua has missed the party. Warren has outplayed the hapless Hearn for this one

Surely the party stays with the winner of any fight between any of the 3, then the one not involved, then gets involved? If it’s all competitive, rematches etc

Not sure Hearn cares too much. Joshua makes more fighting Povetkin than Wilder & Fury do combined, fighting each other!

When one of the fighters earns so much more than anyone else, the party isn’t over until he’s beat?

[mickey1975]

Have to disagree. Fans don’t care who earns what. Fury-Wilder in Vegas blows AJ-Pov and Whyte out of the water.

[lillywhite14]

Fans shouldn’t care about who earns what. My point is the fighters and especially their promoters care about who earns what, and Joshua is where the money is.

It’s a weak era but if these chaps get it going amongst themselves, they’ll all earn massive money and create a legacy for one or two or possibly even all three of them.

Fury-Wilder will be the bollocks if it happens. Great for the division and the sport. Whyte, Povetkin and co don’t matter at that level.

Fury - Wilder then winner faces Joshua, winner of that rematches the loser with the winner of that fighting the loser of the first fight in the series...
Povetkin and co can all fvcking do one.

Ducked? I think you believe too much social media mate. Joshua and Wilder haven't agreed terms that's all.

The only out and out ducking is Wilder refusing to even entertain a fight with his number one contender.

Well could same the same about you mate. Haven’t agreed terms, errr ok if that’s how you want to term Hearn turning down a 50 mill payday - Let’s be real here, he is clearly reluctant to risk his golden goose against a massive puncher like Wilder.
Even our man Lennox says Joshua is avoiding this one.

As I said, they haven't agreed terms. Don't be sucked in by all the talk.

While I believe it's all pantomime, I do believe Tyson needs a calm head around him, so I wish Peter was back with him. I have no idea what happened and if it can be put right, but I don't think his dad is the best man for the job.
Things almost went wrong against Cunningham, if he is to beat Wilder I think he can even at 60% if he uses his Klitschow tactics. He will prob get beat using Cunningham tactics. I think Tyson knows this, it's not exactly rocket science but having his dad around makes it more likely he will have an aggressive rather than a thinking head on.

Can his Uncle or Dad even go to the states?

That’s my worry for him. It’s a shame Peter isn’t involved but again, neither his dad nor uncle can go to the states anyway.

Regarding facing Fury, it’s crass and out of order but it would be a smartish move to target his background and get him riled up. Throw the drug abuse, drug ban, juicing stuff at him too.
He is vulnerable when not in control

[Anhedonia]

RE: His weight

Looks a bit haggard in the face (even with the beard) and he's clearly lost a lot of muscle mass in his upper body, although he may be near his 'peak' weight his whole body composition differs from 4 years ago (less muscle - more fat)

He looks like a 45 year old who still 'works' out.

[PredatorHayds]

overlooking the fact Fury and Wilder beat the same guys when they were younger than when Povetkin beat them, and they also fought clean unlike Povetkin.

Fought clean???

How long has Tyson being eating the uncastrated boar.

Pov and Fury are BOTH drug cheats. One of them has just been caught more.

[Pukka Cheese]

His weight loss has been almost as incredible as the gain.

But i do wonder about the damage that kind of abuse does to your body... Surely fucks your cardiovascular system (perhaps irreparably??) , id be more worried about that then the loose skin making him look like shit.

Would be interested to know the frequency and intensity of the drug/drink binges too. A guy that size will be able to put away alot of ale and he wouldn't have exactly been scraping cash together for a little packet. Could have been hammering through 30pints & an 8ball a day for months for all we know

[Boxerbeetle]

The fight will happen, and then we can finally say who the best Heavyweight in the world is at last. I don't want to hear any of that "AJ is the best" bullshit because $50 million plus PPV and merchandise SHOULD HAVE BEEN more than enough for any man to grow enough balls to fight anyone in the world. AJ refused it, point blank, instead to play grab ass with 39 year old PED user Povetkin, and the WBO is enforcing AJ to defend after that as well.

He can feast on all the bums he wants. Come December we'll see who the real king of the heavyweights is and AJ will be second fiddle to that true, lineal, champion. Belts mean absolutely nothing when you won't take the initiative.

Fury failing a drugs test, getting obese and not fighting for nearly 3 years is hardly taking the initiative.

[Noxy]

Great when there’s no bad blood between fighters but taking a selfie with your opponent is stretching things a little the wrong way

Didn't Fury kiss Seferi right before their fight in the ring?

I'm sure he picked him up as well at the weigh in..

Tyson is a loving guy.

He did and all. It was like an exhibition that fight.

[Quantrax]

I've never been a Fury fan but I think he's done very well to get the weight down. I also think he's done well to push his way into the Wilder negotiations and has a good chance of winning that fight.

As boxing fans we have to endure a lot of delays, postponements and fights left to "simmer", so it's pleasing to see a big fight like this get signed quickly and easily (though it isn't 100% certain at the time of writing this post.) This fight gets a big thumbs up from me.

[Anhedonia]

The back room politics, machinations and negotiations don't interest me one iota, I just want to see the gangling cretin unconscious and twitching on the canvas as his vile oafish father sobs while cradling his prostrate 'sons' head.

I will laugh.

Yes.
