It would, Fury's a big name and a heavyweight title fight at Wembley would do 40k no problem.

20,000 sell out for both proposed fights with Haye, 18,500 at Chisora 2, put Tyson in a big fight and he will draw a big crowd.

20k is the limit because that's the size of the biggest arena, need a stadium to go any higher and they're only available for 2 months a year at best, a heavyweight title fight does 40k at Wembley no problem.

haye sold that fight
bjs and eubank was the bigger fight

Might be jumping the gun here ,, Who said Fury actualy wants it ,, Think he likes to talk about it more and wait for Vlad to retire

spot on

I hope its in the UK, on a football stadium. With a good undercard it is possible. When C level Warington sells 10k for a shitty fight that tells you that there is a lot of interest in boxing over there.

if ever wlad could have fought in uk it would have been HAYE.

wlad is hugh in Germany bigger than any UK boxer in the UK.

wlad vs mormeck was over 30k

I thought I read somewhere that Wladimir was obliged by HBO to defend again in the U.S.?

no, his next fight is anywhere, but tv is hbo.

Wlad will never fight in Germany again because of their tough new anti-doping laws. It was passed late last year and he high tailed it out of there. The Jennings fight was billed as Wlad's return to America but i know what's really going on. He's waiting to see how that German law turns out. He doesn't want to spend up to 3 years in jail for PED's. He refused to take a pre-fight drug test before the Pulev fight.

It would be great to see WEMBLEY packed to see this one

I heard K2 already booked an arena in Germany for this fight. But who knows maybe they can sell out O2 in London, although I doubt it.

I think he wants it, as its the biggest payday out there for him and Fury is all about the $$$.

I can't see it being at Wembly, if it is going to be in London it'll more likely be Upton park. But I can't see it being anywhere but Germany, given Klitschko's selling power over there.

Why do the German's turn out in their droves to watch Wlad? I know hes the best HW on the planet but he's Ukrainian and 9 out of 10 fights are snooze-fests. I know that seems a disrespectful post but it's not meant to be, I just don't see the draw.

My arse - Hatton was a far bigger name than Fury, and was never able to draw those numbers. There's no UK fighters can pull those kind of numbers right now.
