Was a good fight while it lasted but GGG was just relentless. Obviously did some damage to Brooks eye.

Broken eye socket. Will need surgery on it.

Bring on Klitschko vs Fury

Bring on Klitschko vs Fury

Yes let's hope it's as exciting as the last one......

Golovkin wants to fight Alvarez. That would be a good fight.

Unfortunately Alvarez wants not part of GGG. I mean, who calls out an opponent, then within that week voluntarily drops his middle weight ***le claiming it makes negotiating the fight easier, and then immediately moves down a weight division even when he's massive at middle weight. Would love the fight to happen, but it's a ridiculous duck.

BJS says he wants the GGG fight next. Would be a very, very good fight - and it would be nice for GGG to become the undisputed middleweight champion (or BJS should he win).

Fury v Klitchco off again. Think Fury will be stripped if it turns out he was behind cancelling it...again

I'm furious (pun intended)
I was really looking forward to this. I think Klitschko is now regretting ever fighting Fury.

Well he probably regretted it when he lost..

Rumours doing the rounds are that Tyson is mentally ill and not in medically fit state to fight. If so it's a shame for him and his family. Many sports people suffer with similar issue's let's hope it's not going to keep him out of the ring for too long

To be honest Fury should be stripped. Going over a year without a single ***le defense is criminal, and it's really rough for Klitschko who has had to deal with constant messing around.

It's really bad that Fury may be having these problems - but the time to pull out of this fight was months ago. The Fury's really run a micky mouse show. Up there with the Eubanks. Total time wasters.

 

[TheOvalBall]

It seems now an Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko fight might happen if the latter agrees. That would be awesome!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Not going to happen IMO.

Hearn might reach out but Wlad will not accept IMO.

To be fair Billy jo Saunders has gone about a year but the fact Fury signed a re fight clause does make it worse. I would put a bet on Fury never fighting again. He won the ***les he got the recognition he always wanted and people will always talk about the likes of Parker and Joshua as "well would they have beaten Fury?" And Fury will dine out on that for a long time

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yeh i can't see Fury fighting again TBH.

Not that type of fighter really, to have the determination to constantly prove himself.

I hove that zero chance of happening, though would love it to. Klitschko is still probably the second best heavyweight out there, maybe first, no way Joshua is put up against him this November. It's not the kinda fight you throw together last minute. My money is it goes to Parker as the mandatory or an outside prospect like Jarrell Miller. Hearn has wasted too much time failing to get a Stiverne or Pulev fight.

Telegraph reporting that it's depression Tyson Fury is suffering from.

 

[McTallshort]

Rumours of bipolar. Same as our Frank

 

[McTallshort]

Drug allegations now for Fury. Looking at a 4 year ban for refusing a drugs test.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Drug allegations have been around for a couple of months haven't they?

 

[TheOvalBall]

Fury likes the news, for the wrong reasons.
