Fury signs for MTK Global

Solo, I know mate haha

Haye was the example I used when I was just talking to my mate at work... first round, the guy didn;t even throw a shot back... he just stood in the corner covered up, and let Hay put him down, then Haye went and stood on the ropes like he'd just won an epic war...

its just its the side that annoys me, the arguing over purse too, I think it just gets in the way of what fans want to see... though I see why it happens I guess, but two fighters should be 50/50 IMO, I see why its not the case though, referring to an AJ vs Parker/Wilder...

As a fan, I'd like to see Fury vs Whyte, it won;t happen as I think Whyte has a bit more of a punchers chance there, but you see what I mean, that fight would be worth £20 box office, rather than Fury vs a dude who's just going to cover up...

I get why it happens, I'm not what you;d call a casual, I'm an amateur middle weight so I know the game.. its just vastly annoying cos if I'm paying to watch fights - I want them to be fights, not just one way traffic

Yeh i do agree it is annoying but the problem is and the way you have to see it is he does need one or two easy warm-ups, by the time he fights again in April he would of been out of the ring 2 and a half years! You can't even go back in the ring against semi-credible opposition after an absence like that to begin, especially not Price, yeh he's $hit but he's still a big old dude with a massive punch.

Fury needs light work to begin with, get everything back flowing again, the first fight and possibly the 2nd depending on how he gets on have to be easy opponents.

Not everyone can do a Mayweather one of a kind ( 2 years out the ring and still outclassed Marquez ). Just look at Degale's comeback fight the other night, he lost.

I get their will be critics but it's also stupid to have had 2 and a half years out the ring, abusing your body, for 2 years of it, and then coming back against a serious opponent, just asking to lose

yeah from Furys point of view defo... I guess the last thing he wants to do is to get beat in his comeback fight, would lose all credibility and the championship lot wouldn't even consider him - he'd have to start all of again, would be about 5 fights backwards ha..

lets just hope they put it on normal sky sports 1, cos I'll be miffed if I have to pay to see Fury dancing for 8 rounds and not talking one single shot

----------------------------------------------------
Yeah exactly. We can only guess as to how badly Fury has looked after his body in this two year gap. I suspect that it's even worse than many of us have feared.

Coming straight back to fight someone like David Price could be a mistake. His first fight back should be against some no mark.

Na he's with boxnation / bt so it will be on there and his comeback fight won't be ppv

And yeh remember in his first fight he'll still be defending the ring magazine belt

Yeh price gets a lucky win and becomes ring magazine champion could you imagine

But yeh superb, it should be - absolute no hoper he can just dance n jab at for 10 rounds, then a bit tougher opposition / all english clash with price/allen etc then maybe a mid-level fighter like helenius/ustinov/charr/briggs etc then a top fight

He needs rounds, his accuracy and timing is what will not be there, will take 2 fights maybe 3 to get back up to speed and back to his top game.

2018 is about getting back into it, then 2019 is when he should go back for the belts. That's the sensible play, i know a lot of people want AJ v Fury now but it just aint gunna happen and rightly so until 2019 or nov/dec 2018.

They'll still only both be 30/31 in 2019 anyway

Given all of the above, why isn’t Hearn/AJ pushing for the Fury fight sooner rather than later?

Hearn was quoted as saying they need to build up the fight and it’ll be 2019. If I were him I think I’d be trying to make it for autum 2018 - before Fury properly finds his feet again.

I know that’s not best for the sport (want to see both at full capacity) but since when has Hearn cared about that?!

I'd like to see Fury vs Briggs

Lets go champ... yeah.... look at him....

it will be a hilarious press conference if nothing else
