I am really enjoying the ITV documentary with Tyson. He just come across as a nice guy. Last night he had a row with his wife at taking his children out of school at 11 years old. Really is that allowed. He said she was not a 'traveller, but footballer's wife!'. Don't agree with his children watching his fights though oe of his girls was crying her eyes out the poor thing. Hope he smashes Wilder.

Technically one yes for Wilder's WBC title but also the the Lineal Championship is on the line too.  ;D

But both have signed a rematch clause into their contract so we're getting the 3rd anyway sometime in the future.

Will the winner of this fight Joshua first though? They need to try and unify the division.

Interested to see how that horrific cut has healed up. Wilder has already said he’s going to target it, no doubt with his head during the clinch. Let’s hope it doesn’t ruin a potential great fight.

Davison knows his stuff. Not sure if Fury has made a mistake changing trainers.

He's certainly not just a PT like Fury dad thinks he is.

Tyson isn’t with him anymore but you are correct Davison did a great job with him getting his weight off and without him he might not have comeback.

Jesus they're both coming in big. No idea what that means. Shootout?

Edit: just realised Fury is juat going to lean on him all night. Bellew v Cleverly tactics. Going to be ugly as sin.

Still can't believe the first fight was a draw. Fury won it by a mile even with the knock downs.

I can see Wilder this time putting all his energy into the 1st 5-6 rounds and to try to land bombs.

Yeah and he's come in big so if he doesn't get the job done early he's in trouble.

Fury needs to be right on top of him. Wilder wants to throw that big right from distance, but I don't think he's got a great check hook or anything to catch Fury on the way in.

Also looking a the last fight when Fury started getting cocky round 8 then 11 each the next round he was down. He has fully concentrate and no showboating etc.

Yeah, another argument for staying in close I suppose. Fury's natural style staying on the outside and making Wilder miss lends itself to fucking about like that. Trouble with that plan is he has to stay lucky for 12 rounds and Wilder only needs to be lucky once.

He's not looking for a points victory, and never has mate.

You're talking 4am our time mate. Maybe a bit earlier depending on the undercard.  :D

Fury's dad seem not to like Davison and the idea of Tyson losing so much weight.

Going in nearly 20 stone though does seem a bit top heavy.

Hope Fury does it but he'll be up against it going the distance  - as Lenox Lewis once said, in America you are not just fighting the opponent, but also the judges. Corrupt bastards.

I am really enjoying the ITV documentary with Tyson. He just come across as a nice guy. Last night he had a row with his wife at taking his children out of school at 11 years old. Really is that allowed. He said she was not a 'traveller, but footballer's wife!'. Don't agree with his children watching his fights though oe of his girls was crying her eyes out the poor thing. Hope he smashes Wilder.

In person he does seem like a really nice lad, not the naturally nasty or aggressive type. Tough bastard yes, but certainly not a c*nt as Wilder seems. In the press conferneces its obvious hes putting on a loud mouth act whereas Wilder seems the typical hyped up, loud mouth American wanker that he is.
If he retires I'll eat my fucking cock.

What's earliest and latest ring walk would start? 4 earliest 5 latest?
3 midfielders minimum in the next window. And probably another young CB to boot.

I was leaning towards Fury all this time but I got a funny feeling Wilder might just do it tonight mate.  He's a shit boxer but he's also a KO Heavyweight artist and it only takes one punch.  :D

What time is the ring walk expected? Also who’s showing it in the UK, not seen any adverts all week...

So if Fury is going to lean on Wilder, that cut will be opened up again.

If the cut opens up from a clash of heads and they stop the fight, goes to the cards anyway and Fury will be ahead on points all night.

I'm not sure that old cuts reopening is really a massive thing in the modern era though, unless there's some more serious damage behind it

They both come across as utter bellends to be fair. Fury being a massive homophobic United fan sways it for me though, i hope Wilder puts him through the ropes.

Not sure how it's going to go mind. Fury changing trainers and coming in so heavy makes me think he believes he will get the KO, it could work out, but will more likely lead to him planting his foot for a big alehouse dig, the kind that he would have hit himself with in the past and leaving himself wide open to a Wilder special.

Technical draw if it's stopped in rounds 1-4 isn't it? If Wilder gets that opened in the first couple of rounds I'm sure Fury's corner will be aware of that and will be anxious to win those rounds while protecting it. Stitch Duran in the corner is a big bonus for them in that scenario, you'd have to think he would keep it closed as long as they need,
