Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury - 1 December 2018

[MasterG]

These press conferences are believable as the story lines on WWE

[DrDuke]

Despite they were obviously just selling their fight at those pressers, it seemed like Fury was still able to frustrate Wilder. And I believe, he'll be able to repeat this in the ring.

I'm guessing that whoever runs the BT Sport twitter account added the rolling around laughing (what I've heard described as 'the pudendum smilie') and the prayer hands (usually a sure sign that the message it's in is drivel, written by an idiot.) This has annoyed me almost as much as have Nickleback stuck in my head today, thanks to my bastard barber.

Ah well - POETS day today.

Pretty much anyone who mans a company Twitter account is inevitably a pudendum

WBC want Tyson Fury to enrol in clean boxing programme this week
Fury cannot win Wilder's WBC belt if he does not enrol

Sky Sports reporting Fury again.

Tyson Fury must enrol in the WBC clean boxing programme this week if he wants to fight for Deontay Wilder's world title, says WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman.

WBC champion Wilder has announced he will make his next title defence against Fury in Los Angeles on December 1, but the governing body are yet to sanction the heavyweight showdown.

Sulaiman is hopeful the 'Gypsy King' will sign up and accept out of competition drug testing but made it clear he needs to do it in the next seven days, or he will not win the WBC title, even if he beats Wilder.

"If he does not enrol, then the WBC cannot sanction the fight," Sulaiman exclusively told Sky Sports.

"If Tyson Fury does not enrol in the clean boxing programme, the fight is not for the WBC title. He cannot win the title.

"He told me personally, publicly on Twitter. He sent a message, he had a fight, and he has been struggling with paperwork, so we understand that. We have that flexibility in our protocol, but now it's time. Time is now."

Asked when Fury must enrol, Sulaiman added: "I would say this week. I'm going to reach out to him, because there has to be testing for the fight, out of competition. The time is of essence.

"Hopefully he will enrol."

The WBC and VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Assocation) joined forces in 2016 to eradicate drugs in boxing.

The voluntary enrolment means fighters can be tested outside the competition timescale and boxers can also take part in an awareness programme "to educate and prevent boxers about the dangers of substances and the tragic effects that they can lead to".

Why hasn’t this been sorted already? The fight was announced as being on what 6-8 weeks ago. They’ve held all the press conferences and now this comes out. Surely it’s not difficult to complete the paperwork and enrol? Especially for someone who has aspirations to become a medical doctor.

What’s he got to hide? I wonder if there’s anything VADA test for that UKAD don’t and that may help him lose a little more weight?!?

[nitro5912]

So he hasn't signed up, surely he has had plenty of time since his last fight to sign up. It was only 2months ago.

He’s already served a ban for PEDs, it’s hardly blind speculation.

I’m only teasing re: the VADA/UKAD differences.

At best it’s incompetence from team Fury in not having this sorted out before now. It’s also incompetence by the WBC - it shouldn’t have got to this stage without him enrolling.

[tiny_acres]

Even if Fury refuses to enroll the fight can go on. It's just the belt is not on the line

Some of that was entertaining stuff until they started talking over each other.

"I'm coming to America and where does a King like me go to get a wife? Queens. You work for me now"

Not bad

[Nightmare Roy]

I want to see the fight, I just can't watch any of the BS hype, it's all nonsense, not just these two every fight now is like WWF, complete bollox, especially in this case, it's well know they are mates.

A step up on his usual quality of opponents

To the younger fans, it’s more real. They see it as real beef. The younger boxing fans are gullible, they also watch WWE, so this type of hype, they’ll believe in. It’s a PPV fight. The more fans that buy the fight, the more they get paid extra. They’ll both probably had a guaranteed purse of what $5m each. The rest will be on commision based on PPV sales. You don’t need to watch all this, but I get where you’re coming from.

[boxrecer777]

Someone should point out to Tyson that Wilder has the same record (40-0) as Foreman before RITJ. He'll like that.

Or you can point out that Larry Holmes was 40-0 when he turned Cobb into hamburger meat

[samwbr]

Finkel wants to start negotiations with Hearn straight after the fight.

Wilder will win, its an easy fight for him, AJ is the big fight for Wilder 50/50 IMO. Fury will retire afterwards a very rich man.
