It was revealed that a virus forced Tyson Fury to miss his last three weeks of training, but it was the fans who caught a bad cold on a fog-shrouded Saturday night in London’s Docklands.
...
Peter Fury, the gypsy giant’s trainer and uncle, let us in on the secret of his nephew’s pre-fight ailment, saying: ‘Tyson was weakened but would not pull out.’
That reinforced their decision to minimise risk, especially with a prize as rich as a mandatory position as Klitschko’s challenger at stake. Uncle Peter praised his young nephew for ‘having the maturity to be patient against a man who will always be dangerous if you give him the chance’.
Well that explains all the excitement

Perhaps he had the shits and this explains the 16 stone some people were tipping him to weigh in at.

Sounds from Mr Powell's piece here that the punters were really well looked after
...... I call this shambolic and a disgrace to be perfectly honest, and you can add the word insult if you like - and these people are your paying customers!
"
Those without cars faced a choice: make a dash for the last train back to town before the main event even started, or stay in their seats to get their money’s worth before emerging into the dank and the dark to join long queues for infrequent night buses or wander deserted byways hoping to hitch a lift.
They could walk for hours to the nearest quarter of the City where taxis might still have been operating.
Grim choices for ticket buyers. Especially those in stiletto heels and micro dresses."
This is spot on too.....
"By the time I had finished working and negotiated a plague of roadworks, I was opening my front door in London at a quarter-to-four in the morning.
But then I am paid to do this, not forking out hard-earned cash for the very dubious privilege of being stranded in the dead of night."
