Just read this on boxing Ireland via facebook

Apparently because his Uncle Hughie has been taken to hospital ill, so Tyson has withdrawn from the fight

someone just txt me to tell me this im due to set off to manchester in 10 mins

Oh well chisora can step back in now

fornicate sake was looking forward to this fight more than the Chisora fight. Cant blame him though a family member going into hospital would take anyones mind off of the fight

Not having much luck is he lately.

Probably done him a little favour, would've been a tough fight tonight for Tyson but a great spectacle for us fans.

Talk about 'Wag The Dog'!

Fvck sake you gotta feel for Fury,he just cant seem to catch a break,he's the type of character to just jack it in if he's pissed off,the game must be testing his patience to the limit

If true i wish Peter a speedy and full recovery,top man

Its not Peter

This fight was never going to happen. Far too dangerous as a late replacement

Right enough mate,i wish Hughie well also

FFS, was really looking forward to this (again!).

So both of the headline attractions end up pulling out of the same fight, when was the last time that happened?!?

Excuses excuses. Has nobody heard of the saying 'The show must go on'?

Don't suppose he could go on , and dedicate it too his sick uncle , who has a bit of indigestion . but figured he would get his heart , looked at , .. So much for the we are travelling men and we will never ever not fight , blady bla bla

I'm off to Manchester this afternoon but this has made my mind up whether to swerve the card or not.

Pretty poor form.

Surely Fury could fight on after all he can't do much to help his uncle can he.
THIS is very bad for boxing!

Can you get a refund ?

Its really up to the fighter whether they continue,Fury's already had a screwed up build up and this my have been the final straw and he's thought "fvck it"

Some fighters can use it as a motivation,like Douglas did against Tyson(Mike) and his build up was worse with the death of his mum although im sure if Fury had a world title challenge he may have fought on despite his uncles ill health

Me personally cant criticise Fury as if he doesnt feel 100% focused then he probably shouldnt fight but he should expect to recieve some flak after his rants against Haye and Chisora

Close family the Furys , an by all account from what i am told his uncle i gravely ill, when shit like that is going on with so much upset there is more to life than just a boxing match , but going by some of the idiotic comments above that must be just the way us gypsies are .

I'm absolutely speechless - I only last night bought tickets for the event. I'm still going to go but Ths news is very bad for boxing. after the way he went to town on Chisora and Haye this week I cant believe that this is not a genuine family emergency on Fury's behalf though so wish his uncle all the best.

I agree it must be bad for fury to cancel

Hope his uncle is ok

so are we supposed to think that if it was still fury v chisora that fury would be pulling out with this excuse at this late hour? i think not.

As Ustinov weighed in, will he still get paid?

Unbelievable, bet Frank is tearing his hair out
