A few years ago i never really cared much for Tyson Fury, but Ive gotten so much respect for him the last few years... I Hope Wilder gets a good hiding..

I might but I want Wilder to win and it probably isn’t going to happen so I’m still on the fence. The way Fury can eat Deontae’s punches when he does connect is pretty amazing. Would be nice to watch a match I don’t know if these guys have given each other Traumatic Brain Injuries yet. Wilder pops up for interviews on the business news channel on occasion and he is not talking as well he did pre fight 1 and I’m starting to think you could hit Fury in the head with a baseball bat and he might react like it was an annoying mosquito bite, scary.

I would if it was Gene Wilder 😁


I wouldn’t put it past Mike Tyson to dig up Gene Wilder and fight him for a payday....😉

The whole spectacle with YouTubers and wannabe celebs fighting is a disgrace to the sport. Boxers dedicate their lives to the cause, making significant sacrifices to get an opportunity at a title shot and any associated rewards. These f@ck wits are completely non deserving of their infamy and fortunes.

I will be hopefully. Given that Wilder might have been lucky to win more than two rounds of their first two encounters I don't give him much of a chance.

For any boxing fans there is a juicy dust up earlier on in the evening with Anthony Fowler v Liam Smith. A Liverpool Derby which should prove to be lively.

I agree agree it can be disappointing and at times a mockery. You play sports, you don’t play boxing. These guys risk their lives and well being every time they step in the ring. When you see a fight live and you have good seats the power and speed of these pros becomes more evident. I saw Golovkin fight macklin at some casinos near me. The punches these guys take can be felt like a bass drum at a concert out five rows out. I don’t know what is more impressive being able to throw that hard or take a punch that hard and keep going. I was boxing for fun and exercise for a while and I’ve seen butterflies and felt my knees go even with head gear. I tore some ligaments in my right shoulder at work a few years back so I only do it now when I’m ready to take a good ass beating, I can’t get off a right any more without sending a Telegraph that it’s on it’s way. Still a lot of fun.

I remember watching this KO and thinking it may be a killer

I won't watch it as it'll be 4/5am UK time, and I'll be tucked up in bed, probably snoring my face off. I'll watch the highlights hopefully the next morning in full if I can. I can't see anything but a Fury win, I had money on him to beat Klitschko years ago, I hadn't seen him fight that much previously, which might sound reckless but I listened to him in all the interviews prior and believed what he was saying. It made me a tiny bit of money even at 5/1 I think the odds were at the time. I'm firmly in Fury's camp, Wilder can't box, he just waits for the knockout punch which isn't there if the opponent is a clever boxer.

I think Tyson will win, like @kev1976t said, I didn’t think much of him when he started out, just a big lump of a human being, but he is deceptively good and very resilient. Perhaps the best heavyweight from the UK in living memory. Hopefully it will be a good fight.

Its a tough gig professional boxing, one of the lads from my last club in Manchester has had 10 pro fights now, and not only does he have to train, he needs to find sponsorship, and sell as many tickets as possible in order to get fights, and he is one of the lucky ones, he trains in Ricky Hattons stable along with a few up and coming boxers and has just signed for Sky sports.

It's his movement I think that sets him apart, he's a big lump as you said but he doesn't move like one when he's on the canvas, he's a very clever boxer.

I assume this is a pay per view event- I’m definitely interested but need to find a place to mooch off to watch.

Amazing fight and great masterclass from Fury. Hats off to Wilder for holding on until the 11th.
