IF no step-aside deal happens and IF WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury faces Deontay Wilder in a third bout that an arbitrator ruled must happen by September 15, Fury is a big betting favorite.
Early odds on the board at BetOnline.ag are nearly 3:1 for the Gypsy King.
Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder
Tyson Fury -280 (5/14)
Deontay Wilder +220 (11/5)
2 to 1? Are they Nucking Futz?
Fury should be a 39,000 to 1 favorite.
Deontay “I got my ass bombed” WILDer needs to retire.
I agree, it’s free money betting on Fury.
Not really smart to risk $280 to win $100.
Why retire after one loss?
I want to see Joe Rogan V Wesley Snipes on the undercard- this fight isn’t happening before the AJ fight. Fake news
LOL, I must admit, that was a creative post! LOL
Wilder got Jealous his Boyfriend Fury in his mind he got him pregnant was going to cheat on him with Joshua,came out from his psychiatrist’s office and had to do something…
The One, stay off drugs.
BUUUUMMMMMM SQQQQUUUUAAADDDDD!!!!
I absolutely love how you say this !!
Wilder should fight the winner between fury and Josuah .But now need a tune up fight .
Only way to get Wilder a belt is to make Fury fight a month after Joshua fight. What a stuipd decision.
I highly doubt if Wilder is mentally prepared for a fight this September. Wilder is trying to gather more leverage for an earth shattering step aside amount from the big money pit.
In addition, Wilder will double dip into the big money pit by fighting the Fury/Joshua winner during late 2022 or early 2023.
Wilder will probably retire after he double dips into the money pit against the Fury/Joshua winner. However, if Wilder fights very competitively (close or controversial fight) against the Fury/Joshua winner…then Wilder may get a triple dip in the big money pit.
Good assessment! Makes sense to me.
It’s a crossroads fight for both. I’d say the loser will have a difficult/impossible journey back.
If Wilder loses , his already diminished value will recede further. If Fury loses then who would want to fight him? Surely his market value is based on his status rather than his pulling power.
If Fury loses I can see no reason whatsoever that AJ would want to fight him especially given the time wasted by Hearn in making that fight. Who would want to go through all that without the belt at stake?
I’ve been thinking all along that Wilder just wanted step aside money but maybe he actually NOW wants the fight . Maybe his mojo had gone for much of the time since he was demolished but maybe he feels he’s got it back.
It could also be a more risky fight for Fury. Motivation/complacency have always been his potential downfall and will he be that motivated knowing that he demolished Wilder last time out.
I thought that when I first saw the odds that Fury should be a bigger favourite but maybe they are building the above factors into the equation.
If Wilder were to win , he would be the man that Hearn/AJ would chase and if they were willing to give Fury 50/50 then I think they’d do the same for Wilder.
“It’s a crossroads fight for both.”
– Not sure why you say that.
– Why is it a cross roads fight after Fury destroyed Wilder in their 2nd fight and will probably do so again in their 3rd fight?
Just a thought and it may be far fetched but maybe Wilder wanted the rematch all along and has himself been playing mind games?
He gave the impression to me that he just wanted step aside money and no part of the rematch but he may have (for once) been very smart in letting Fury and AJ build themselves up for this mega fight knowing he’d get the rematch.
He may have (behind closed doors) been preparing like a demon for the Fury rematch whereas Fury would have been preparing for AJ.
By keeping quiet he has probably lead most of us to believe that he has lost interest. But if it is a ploy he may have played a blinder.
The timing could be impeccable and both AJ and Fury would have been prepared for each other and now they will be both be fighting different opponents and for considerably less money and could affect both of them in the ring?
I’ve seen footage of Wilder working with Malik Scott on different things and he and he looks decent. Now if his mindset is right he may have given himself the best opportunity of exacting revenge by playing with Fury’s head?
it is what it is……
not many want to see it. most want Fury-Joshua
but hey, it doesnt affect me. so i dont really care
btw , it looks like Fury will need a lot of time to get into fighting shape/condition
I’m seriously now at a point where, if there has to be a Fury-Wilder III? Fury beats Wilder’s ass to the point where he’s permanently hurt. If only to ensure that the Heavyweight Champion of Alabama suffers the consequences of basically being a clueless ****.
Either way, Deontay is going to get PAID!! Screw that Gypsy glove tampering bastard!!!
Deontay is gonna get another beating of a lifetime. I hope Tyson Fury has compassion and rather just knock Deontay out cold instead of torturing him with brutal shots all night long.
Tyson by knockout under 6.
Hope it works out somehow that all the good fights take place:
1) Fury and Joshua square off i.e. Wilder gets step-aside money.
2) Wilder fights Whyte or Ruiz or whoever.
3) Winners of the above fights then fight each other.
Henry
Sounds good, wont happen
Fury vs Wilder III. No thanks! Not at this stage. Enough is enough.
I would prefer Wilder vs Joshua to start with. To me that fight even make more sense than Fury vs Joshua.
If Joshua would loose against Wilder I would still love to see Fury vs Joshua.
If Joshua would beat Wilder, the fight against Fury would probably be the biggest event ever in boxing in terms of hype and big money.
3:1 is fair. Wilder still has a punch and people forget that. Looks like Fury also has a punch. Wilder has no advantages doing into this fight. He doesn’t have the basics down so his only chance is to land the golden punch.
I’m picking Wilder! I believe he really thinks Tyson cheated and that gives him an edge
