Doesn't take much effort to be fair, on a serious note I'm gutted for Fury, his big fights always fall through, same goes for all you guys who shelled out in flights and hotels :(

The klits come across as the gents of boxing but they do a lot of things to unsettle their opponents. Hayes ring walk through their fans, making chisora re wrap his hands for example.

I tend to agree with you and Magwich.

x1
Not at all surprised at this plus K2 and the Klits aren't above a bit of mind games and gamesmanship to get an edge. They messed Chisora and Haye about pre-fight, don't mind leaning on and pushing away opponents and a far from the gentlemen they portray.
They'll be as aware as we are that Tyson doesn't exactly enjoy training camps.

This is poor.

Terrible for Fury, wouldnt surprise me if Klit retired, at least he would get a shot at the vacant then.
I do think seeing Tyson fired up and in the flesh unnerves fighters, ask David Haye!
In the press conference Fury told him, 'just make sure you turn up'

I don't agree. Fury is a better boxer than he's given credit for but he's not particularly intimidating in the big scheme of things.

I´m pissed off big time. Everything is booked and paid for. Had a big hassle getting that day off work as well (Friday)

I`m going anyway and will take out my frustration on some filthy Romanian brass.

My hit ratio out of 3 big German fights is two pull outs (Haye with his back and now big Klit)

Do we get the money back for fight tickets? I aint paying for another flight out there in december.

I actually think Fury is the one who is a little intimidated at times. He looked intimidated at the Haye conference and the first Klit one in the stadium. He looked bothered in the Ustinov one too, where for all his nervous shouting and "aggression" Ustinov was just laughing at him and didn't look bothered at all.

The loud shouting stuff is usually done by those who are feeling the pressure a bit more.

Gutted for the fans though. It's a ball ache that such injuries always hit the ones not getting the payday. The fight will be rescheduled and Fury will get his chance.

Let's also ask Steve Cunningham while we're at it.

Gutted for anyone who had sorted their flights etc for this. I've been in the same boat (including coming back from limerick last week for the cancelled lee v Saunders fight).

If you've got flights and are unsure go to dusseldorf you'll have a good laugh....I went when have pulled out of the klitchko fight so I've literally been in the same boat!!

No, they keep your money having not provided you with anything at all. You buy a ticket for an event which is promised, they cancel event and keep the money. That sounds logical to me.

Ever think that you may ask a really stupid question sometimes that has an obvious answer?!

Was simply a question mate. No need to get quite so irritated.

I am joking sorry, they actually might not give the money back in seriousness, as they are rearranging the fight.

No way I will be able.to.make ant rescheduled dates so will just go for the weekend to be honest

If I can't refund my tickets ill punt them if anyone wants 4 tickets at face value

That`s my concern. Given they are only postponing the fight there may be some hassle with refunds. I`m not flying out there again though.

One weekend of carnage in the Dorf is enough for me.

Makes you wonder if this is going to hurt Fury more than Wlad as a huge percentage of the travelling contingent will have the same feelings as you on the matter.

Wlad had got an old mans calf injury. Not surprising he is getting to the old man stage..

I heard that Tyson Fury had a bet with Johnny Nelson that Wlad would pull out.

I'm hearing that they're having trouble re-scheduling the fight to a November date due to sky not having a box-office slot available until February. I'm assuming this is because the Joshua-Whyte fight will be on PPV.

Is this the first time Wladimir has pulled out of a fight? Can't remember another time .

Real shame, I was so looking forward to this fight and I feel for Fury, poor guy

Chisora, Mormeck and Pulev.

Please don't tell me there are people on here that genuinely think Wladimir Klitschko is somehow faking an injury because Fury looked 'up for it'.

Joshua's novice fight shouldn't be headlining pay-per-view anyway, they should do the right thing & make it part of Wlad Fury PPV show
( yeah like that's going to happen )

I wonder what other fights they'll have on that card to make it PPV worthy. Eddie's been promising big things.

I was joking as I knew that they may not be refunding and said it was a joke immediately two posts later. I was being sarcastic that they actually probably will make extra out of it and not refund. i think it was clumsy worded but not arseholish.

He dressed as Batman, though.
