Fury v Klitschko looking unlikely as Fury has pulled out on the grounds of not being medically fit.

Could it be that there's more news to come regarding the failed doping test or is Tyson just a lazy fecker and hasn't bothered putting the training in?

I'm nor surprised at this at all . Fury has surely been a blight on an already pisspoor heavyweight division . I'd love to have seen Fury against a Mike Tyson in his prime . I admire any man that steps into the ring but Fury has really bullied his way to the top and there appears to have been no devastating puncher to check his path . If Fury retires , he'll avoid any further investigation into alleged drug misuse and he won't have to face the gym again .

Quotes by the Hennessy promotion team altho' vague are at the same time are not suggesting any further dates . Lets be fair, Fury doesn't need the money .


I'm expecting Fury's name , in the future to crop up in several pub quizzes as a world boxing champion that no one could name.

Yep, he's setting himself up for the moniker of "unbeaten heavyweight world champion" having only fought one decent boxer.

I'd be glad to see him pack it in as he's doing boxing no favours.

At the moment in my mind he is no more than the 1st person in recent times to the ageing Ukrainian. His stock may go up if Klit was to destroy Wilder and Joshua then my opinion may change.

Well Cleverley fights Braehmer in Germany this weekend, he'll need a stoppage to win most likely, I can't see it personally.

Nor me.

Parker fighting on the under card too.

Hearn has had to publically deny that AJ v Klit is a done deal.

Good, he has quite a nice style Parker, tho probably not at the level of AJ/Klit/Wilder.

Fury fails a drug test for cocaine apparently.

[Eugene Wrayburn]

Fury fails a drug test for cocaine apparently.

That explains a lot!

Fury fails a drug test for cocaine apparently.

Strangely I'm not surprised.

I'm surprised it was just cocaine!

[onlynameleft]

Oh, and now he's retired.

[Sandydragon]

Well that's a surprise!

Well that's a surprise!

Oh, he says he hasn't now.

Tomorrow ma well be different. What a clown.

A good result for Ricky Burns on the weekend against a game unbeaten challenger, Hearns is now stating that he will fight Adrien Broner next and Hearns say he thinks burns will win?

Not likely imo.

The next big fight has got to be the Ward v Kovalev bout, difficult to call that one, you'd think if Kovalev can land a solid one then that should be enough, I remember thinking the same when Froch fought Ward and it didn't happen. He is a very skillful boxer Ward and defensively superb.

Fight with Broner could be on I reckon . Wouldn't be surprised if Broner came here for the match up . Although his record is impressive I did read that he's not the biggest ticket seller in the States .

He was touted as the new Mayweather at one point (tho he is a far more aggressive boxer than Mayweather) and is a four weight World Champion, I've only seen him fight a limited amount of times but from what I've seen he will have too much for Burns, tho I hope Burns wins as Broner is a prize 2@.

Broner will absolutely smoke Burns. I thought he only just sneaked it at the weekend and looked decidedly average at times. Broner may struggle to make weight though.

Trying to perhaps be overly objective but I am not sure Burns is even a top LWW.

I see Bellew is drumming up a match~up with David Haye after the formers' recent victory . Cant blame Bellew and the public would probably go for it . Big paydays for both unless Haye is looking for bigger fish . Only one winner here btw.

I tend to agree, but Bellew does carry a decent amount of power and he has a punchers chance. He wasn't overly impressive on Saturday mainly due to a lack of self control but his power at Cruiserweight is good.

Campbells body shots were beauties in his fight.

He has power at Cruiserweight, I see nothing to suggest he could spark Haye tho, I can't see past round 3 if that fight ever happens, I thought Haye was due to take on Shannon Briggs?

Not sure what happened with the Briggs match~up . Briggs wanted it and was calling Haye out and abusing him verbally . Haye for once kept his cool . Hayes has to fight soon to keep his profile up and is knocking on age wise even for a heavy . Biggest disappointment was that Haye & the gypsy king never met up .
