Fury-Wilder Fight Week kicks off today in Las Vegas when WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former champ Deontay Wilder make their grand arrivals at the Toshiba Plaza outside T-Mobile Arena. Fans are invited to attend. Wilder arrives first at 5PM, with Fury scheduled for 5:30PM.
BetMGM lists Fury as a -275 favorite. Wilder backers can get +225.
The PPV price is $79.99.
Fury responded to Wilder’s cheating allegations Monday on The MMA Hour. “I had horseshoes in there,” admitted Fury. “You know I’m a gypsy, don’t you? … I loaded the gloves with horseshoes and dynamite. This time I’m going to do exactly the same. Put a bit more metal in there.”
SHOULD be another one sided win for Fury. UNLESS his weight and lack of conditioning between fights finally catches up to him.
What’s up with the caps? Does that mean you are SCREAMING?
Verbal
no lol. just emphasis. didnt realize
Wilder has a puncher’s chance while Fury can simply outbox him. However, they both deserve a title alone in trash-talking and being annoying at times.
“The PPV price is $79.99.”
– Good luck wit dat.
They need to recoup the millions that was spent to avoid this fight.
For months we heard the media trying to convince people the fans wasn’t interested in this fight and They only wanted to see Fury and AJ.
All eyes will be on this fight mainly because of the underlying racial divide in the US.
When Joe Louis fought Max Schmeling (Nazi Germany) it was a battle between ideology. Race was in play but Americans showed patriotism to support their own fighter. Now its a battle of race and America would rather celebrate a foreigner getting the crown.
“All eyes will be on this fight mainly because of the underlying racial divide in the US.”
– I do not see this fight as a match to watch because of race. I do not believe that “white” people will be rooting for Fury and “black” people will rooting for Wilder.
– I just don’t see it here. Joe Lewis / Max Schmelling was a completely different animal at a time when the world was about to go to war again.
“All eyes will be on this fight mainly because of the underlying racial divide in the US.” REALLY? Jeezus, you must have a vested interest in hyping this fight; either that or you’re a race-baiter or someone who views life along lines of color. I’m with the guy who posted below…RACE has little or nothing to do with this fight; at least for the majority of fans. And may the best man win.
It’s kinda hard to celebrate a guy who can’t own up to his short comings.
so tiresome
In a way you are correct, one of my friends is mexican american and he roots for the latino fighters every single time. My other friend is african american and he roots for the black fighters every time. They both do this regardless of nationality. As a mixed race person neither bothers me because that’s what they identify with. However do you think it is racist if a white fan roots for a white fighter? If so then I would tend to think you have some hate and racists issues yourself.
Uhm no. Doesnt wildrr push the racial divide actualy. I sont like loud mouth race huslters. But hey thats just me. Im not gonna support him because he is black
What’s a “wit dat”? Is that a new dance or something I missed?
“Wit dat” is South Philly slang for “With that”.
Gotcha
Haha, my exact thoughts
When the history of heavyweight boxing is finally written, perhaps someone will clearly define who was to blame to that stupid third fight clause being included in the second bout contract. That one paragraph has now cost both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua an eight-figure payday; and to try to get some of it back, they’re trying to sell Fury kicking Wilder’s ass yet again for $79.99? BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Haha gotta LOVE TYSON FURY. I love Deontay Wilder also but I don’t to see him get hurt so therefore I hope TYSON FURY knocks Deontay Wilder out COLD so he won’t go through 12 rounds of beating.
TF inside of 3 rounds.
Hopefully Wilder wears a lighter ring walk costume….don’t wanna hear that excuse again.
Hey Jake we can do this boxing or mma you fake boxing you tube freak
Wilder has a puncher’s chance nothing less nothing more; he isn’t going to learn how to box in a few months.. TF by TKO between rounds 6 and 10.
I agree with NJ Boxing; everything is about race in this country and others like it, including this fight. I would compare it more to Holmes/Cooney than Schmeling/Louis, though. The last fight was during African-American History month, Wilder’s ring walk, costume, music, etc. was indicative of that and Fury licked the blood off of his face, which represents something sinister and conquering. I promise you there will be 100’s of thousands of blacks, if not millions, worldwide, cheering for Wilder and equally so for Fury. If you think that race is not a part of what’s going on here, you are delusional…go ahead with that I don’t see color crap. At least The Gypsy King finally admitted that he cheated by using deception of course in his response. Now there’s progress.
It seems it is about race everytime. To one race more than the other. Unfortunatley. The one always crying about racism. Why cant it be just a boxing match. Who brought race into it. Im sure it was wilder.
The bell for rd 5 won’t be needed, Wilder can switch trainers forever and it won’t make a difference…he knows Fury is the better man, his head is FULL of doubt and you cannot win like that.
fury is coming in this fight heavier and saying he’s coming right at wilder, the last fight i think he surprised wilder by going straight after him, this fight there are no secrets and i can’t help to think fury is going to get caught with that right hand when all along he could have just out boxed wilder, wilder early by ko
Fury comes in cold and gets kod cold right out the gate 59 seconds in mike Tyson style
This fight is all about which man has the best game plan and is able to stick to it. Fury knows Wilder cannot fight going backwards. But has Wilder learned some lateral movement, or a way to turn Fury’s pressure against him? Can Wilder stay patient and work behind a jab? Wilder will need to set up that big right hand after jabbing and he has to win by KO because he simply cannot outbox Fury. Fury knows this as well so I see him choosing when to box, when to keep distance, and when to press the action. In the end, I think it goes the distance and see a decision for Fury.
Why does it have to be about race? I’m a fan of both. I’m slightly rooting for Wilder since he’s a fellow American. I’m white, by the way.
