I wouldnt be surprised if Lucas Browne would be willing.

YES HE CAN :!:

Just sorted a lads night in to watch this! Ah, nevermind. Hopefully Fury still fights, let's just see him in action to keep the card half alive.

This.

He would want telephone numbers though. The man is seriously deluded

I was just about to write the same thing, he was willing to wait for a last minute fight and i would happily go and watch that.

Chris Eubank Jr has just tweeted that his fight is still on and fury will be fighting someone else.

Apparently Tony Thompson has offered to be the replacement? That could save the day.

If they can get Adamek over that would probably be te wisest move from Team Fury as he's similar stature of Chisora so wouldn't need to much tweeked as far as gameplan goes,certainly not as much as Browne

That would be good shit. Not entirely sure the Fury camp would be confident in taking that fight full stop, let alone at short notice with no southpaw sparring most likely though.

Can dear old Mrs Thompson's hip take the punishment though if Tony was to win

They'll have to put a new wheelchair as part of the contract lol.

Would be awfully easy to say something libellous on a thread like this. Hope that doesn't happen.
Suffice to say though, the show will definitely go on with the cheaper undercard.

I'll only watch if Thompson gets to come into the ring with that saxophonist's superb rendition of Born in the USA

Thompson would be an excellent replacement.

Thats Chisora,Mathews,Sykes and Mansouri all pulled out injured on this card and thats just the title fights,FW must seriously been wondering what's the bloody point

Yeah, a southpaw would be dangerous at such short notice. If he's fighting then it needs to be someone they can sort a visa for, get them on a plane and over here by Thursday/Friday, as well as being reasonably similar to Chisora style wise. The most obvious options to me are Christian Hammer, Albert Sosnowski and Konstantin Airich.

whats deontay wilder upto these days ?

Agree with this!

I would like to see Browne if possible but that would be dangerous on short notice aswell. For Browne aswell losing his unbeaten record in a fight he might not do himself justice in because of lack of prep.

The guy Browne's fighting is shorter than Chisora, it would be a big change in style to throw him in with Fury at late notice and like you say it's probably not worth risking his unbeaten record for it. The other problem with that is that it leaves the show next Friday looking a bit bare, like borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, you still end up with a hole somewhere down the line.

I can't believe this happening again, just hope they get a decent late sub for him

Called him out

Hilariously, Fury has just tried to call out Deontay Wilder on Twitter, but has in fact called out Lucy Bronze, who is a female footballer.

Hasnt Wilder already knocked her out so i can see where the confusion came

Thompson would be a great late replacement. Very risky fight for Fury though. Can't see him taking it.

Surely Thompson is going to want a decent wedge and is their enough ticket sales to fund this? Who knows. What I do know is Fury said in boxing news it hadn't sold well. Shame really I did expect it to sell out with a really strong undercard. Hope Chisora recovers fast.
