    Still think it happens. Apparently the hold up is that Barclays have made a strong offer to stage it. 
    Would be classic Warren if he holds out to announce it till AJ - Povetkin fight week either..

    Personally I think they will both use and excuse that Wilder is forced to fight a mandatory first,

    Why do you think Wilder would pull out? Surely he's chomping at the bit to get in there to make that payday?

    Anything is possible,
    Hard to know who wants what,
    Same as the situation with Wilder and Aj ,its impossible to know what will happen and who's to blame really ,

    Yes, but why would Wilder want to stall?

    Purely from an "I'M READY TO DO BUSINESS AND WIN" POINT OF VIEW, HE CANNOT BE SECOND GUESSING HIMSELF, SURELY?

    It would be more logical to see that from Fury's standpoint...

    Sorry for the caps...

    As I said he may gain more money form the fight if both win a fight first and it gains more hype,
    Say if Wilder fights again  before Fury ,100% more people will tune in to see what Furys up against

    That's just stretching it out and out....could say have another one after another one etc etc...

    I honestly don't think people are thinking like this.....may add a few extra viewers, may not....

    The time is right now......if the fight doesn't happen I think it will be because Fury doesn't want it due to him not believing he wins.

    I made a prediction a while ago that Fury would not fight Wilder or AJ, because he would go off on another bender.....

    I hope I am wrong, because I do want to see these fights.

    I read that Fury’s license isn’t valid in USA. Any truth in that?

    Why do you think Wilder and Aj haven't fought , id say it cause they think they can make more money from the fight down the line, It happens a lot

    May be for Wilder-AJ.

    Anyway, relating to Wilder-Fury I think this line of "let's wait a little longer so we can make even more money" is off the mark here......

    Charr vs Oquendo for the 'Regular' WBA title in 3 weeks.

    Who do you all think wins?

    Oquendo is somehow the mandatory despite not having fought in 4 years, coming off a loss and being 45.

    Wilder-Fury would be a cracker of a fight..I think if Fury is back to his best though he'll win a UD; fairly widely TBH.

    Andy Lee said something to the effect that they'll turn up at the AJ-AP weighin to announce it.
    Wouldn't surprise me.

    I'd be surprised. There's not much buzz around the upcoming AJ fight. Warren isn't about to give Eddie Hearn some free promotion.

    Thought the same thing, them turning up to a Joshua event is as good as admitting who the real big dog is in the Heavyweight division.

    Charr popped for PEDs.
    Oquendo fight now scrapped. Fres will be 60 before he gets a fight!

    I gotta say there isn't much hype about this weekends fight this side of the water,
     I'm guessing its a sell out but I wonder how the pay per view will do ,
    I personally think its a gimme fight be over by round 4 , AP isn't the same man he once was , which is understandable at 39,  I don't buy that he is dangerous fight at all,
