Warren says there's a trilogy clause in the contracts.

Should be a very interesting fight, maybe not a great watch, but pretty intriguing.

Fury should be a bit sharper this time round, might fancy his chances of a KO.

Fury isn't KO'ing anyone that's not a bum in the division.

Got a chance against Captain Windmill then ;D

A bit like Holmes when caught by a Shavers bomb all those years ago!

I've no idea who wins this one, which is great! An early Fury KO is the only thing that would shock me in this fight.

Haha yeah then Shavers punches himself out like Wilder was about to!

Next Canelo Alvarez fight likely to be announced for May 2nd and it's likely will be at Super Middle.  So that means its Callum Smith or Billie Jo Saunders right?  Wouldn't put it past Oscar to get some bum in though. ;D

Apparently Golden Boy have put low ball offers to both of them, last I heard Caleb Plant has turned his nose up at it because he's not got enough time to prepare.

They've made Smith about 4 offers and he's turned them down.

Won't be low ball offers when he's the golden ticket.

Its not just the money with Canelo its the clauses he puts in your contract for example like you cannot weigh more than a certain weight on fight night etc.

He is a good boxer but he is the new Mayweather who wants everything in his favour I mean he forced Rocky Fielding to this who is European level at best.

The problem you also have is you are already 3 rounds down before a glove is thrown against him so you have to knock him out and he does have a good chin to be fair.

Can't have it both ways. Want the golden ticket then play by the rules.

If I was a world champion I wouldnt weight drain myself its a dangerous sport and you need to be 100% ready.

You didnt get this rubbish with Eubank,Benn,Collins, Hagler, Leonard they just fight.

He is the money fight but if he wants to fight at SMW he should do that at the rules everyone uses not his own.

I'd just like Callum to fight someone to be honest.  Anyone.

If he's just going to be the latest British boxer to spend the best years of his career sitting on his hands waiting for a megafight that never happens then I'll be gutted.

It's not just Canelo though, DAZN will do everything they can to ensure their star prospect doesn't lose so they'll no doubt have an influence in this. Bad juice head though I hope he gets beat, although BJS won't TKO/KO him so highly unlikely he'll get the win even if he does out-box Canelo.

BJS is no stranger to a bit of uncastrated boar meat either though ;D

I think Canelo would be too big for BJS.  Maybe a different story for Callum though.

BJS is a Light Middleweight in reality, He's barely a Middleweight but Callum is too big for a Super Middle, who could fight up at Cruiser for fuck sakes.  ;D

BJS is still taller with similar reach to Canelo, I don't think he'd be out of his depth considering he would be going in there to dance around Canelo for 36 minutes, so the lack of power wouldn't be an issue.

I was hoping BJS and Callum would fight, I reckon you could easily hype that up as a PPV event. Fuck throw in Dillian Whyte, get the juice head ringside and that could defo be a PPV event at the 02 in London.

Might've been said before but Fury v Wilder is one of those fights where if it were possible I'd want them both to lose. Can't stand either of them. On balance Wilder is probably the more annoying, but equally I don't want to hear Fury going on about how he's recovered from depression again, feel like he's really exploited it for money and attention.

Still don't know how the fucker got up from that. There's a shot of Wilder when Fury get's up, it's as though he's seen a ghost.  ;D

It was like something out of the wrestling, with Wilder celebrating then his face drops as Fury gets up from his grave.

Not unless he's planning to sit on him ;D

He should be coming in as light as possible, because Wilder is a lanky fucker who could probably make cruiserweight, so he'll have 3 or 4 stone on him whatever happens.

The rumour is hes a few pounds heavier than normal. Hearn making some snide remarks too
