It's not business 101 to get turned into a fukking vegetable, if not worse, ffs. A cheque isn't a cheque if you can't spend it due to incapacity.
If Wilder, or Fury, or ANY of these heavyweights connect with one of those two they would literally be sent immediately to The Phantom Zone.
No active boxer worth their salt, and with aspirations still in their respective division, would want to be in a ring for what would be, at best, an 'exhibition'. Career suicide.
It might be one of the worst bits of business ever, on all sides.
Kownacki Suffered Fractured Left Orbital Bone In First Round; Exploring Surgery Options
BY KEITH IDEC

LAS VEGAS – Adam Kownacki suffered a career-altering injury almost as soon as his fight started Saturday night.
Keith Connolly, Kownacki’s manager, confirmed to BoxingScene.com on Sunday morning that the Polish heavyweight sustained a fractured left orbital bone during the first round of his sixth-round, technical-knockout loss to Robert Helenius at T-Mobile Arena. Brooklyn’s Kownacki fought through severe swelling around his left eye, but he often winced while trying to combat the taller, rangier Helenius.
Kownacki, 32, was examined at nearby Valley Hospital Medical Center, where X-rays detected a fractured eye socket. Connolly told BoxingScene.com that Kownacki will visit a specialist when he returns home to New York and will explore surgical options.
The injury figures to keep Kownacki out of action until at least the middle of 2022.
Finland’s Helenius (31-3, 20 KOs) completely controlled the action in their one-sided rematch, which was part of the Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder pay-per-view undercard. Whatever chance the favored Kownacki had to avenge his fourth-round TKO loss to Helenius in March 2020 effectively ended when his left orbital bone was fractured.
Kownacki (20-2, 15 KOs), defensively flawed under normal circumstances, couldn’t see Helenius’ right hands coming. He mostly took a beating before referee Celestino Ruiz separated them and stopped their scheduled 12-round rematch at 2:38 of the sixth round.
There was confusion in the immediate aftermath of their rematch as to whether Kownacki was disqualified or lost by technical knockout.
Ruiz admonished Kownacki for more low blows in the sixth round, a round after taking a point from him for hitting Helenius below the belt. Bob Bennett, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, confirmed, however, that Kownacki officially lost by technical knockout, not disqualification.
Ruiz ultimately determined that Kownacki had taken too much punishment and clearly could not see out of his left eye.
breh the ref gave wilder the same count... he even moved fury out the fukkin way...spinned em...
wilder got up n he started counting at 5
but mannn that right
Check da 2nd knock down by wilder on fury, the red started at 4 and lemme know what happened during the 5 - 6 count. Dude took hella long there
Someone please explain to me what happened between 5 and 6 on that count.
If you can't admit that this was an unusual long count then u don't need 2 say ne thing more ur jus bias. Cous it's blatantly obvious that was a long count.
Now I'm not debating that fury is better boxer than wilder of ne thing else bout da fight.
But that count was slow and long mang. It reminded me of Tyson Douglas

RIP MR. SMOKE
He did slow the count down and the shyt was suspect but fury was already sitting up regardless. Whether the ref was counting fast or slow fury was gonna get up at 8 either way. If fury was out cold and the refs slow count gave him time to come to his senses and barely beat the 10 count that would be different.

Sugar Hill is just the trainer AJ needs to really get him to that next level and reach his potential.
