Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury Eyed For September

Don't know if this was posted already


With heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's American return ending with a clear decision victory against Bryant Jennings on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York, he said he plans to make his defense, a mandatory, against unbeaten British big man Tyson Fury.

Klitschko, who hadn't fought in the United States since 2008, owes Fury, a legitimate mandatory -- not one of the many questionable ones that populate the sanctioning body rankings -- title shot.

The WBA said the fight is due and expects that it will take place within six months.

The fight likely will take place in either England or Germany, where Klitschko is a major star, before the end of the year.

The WBA will order a 30-day negotiating period between the camps before ordering a purse bid in the event that they don't make a deal. The purse split in the event of a bid would be 80-20 in Klitschko's favor.

I can't wait for the press conference to happen so Shannon Briggs can show up on his "Let's Go Champ" Troll Tour and Tyson Fury will act like a hooligan and feed into Shannon's shenanigans. The fukkery should be epic.

Should be fun while it lasts. The lead up though should be funny with Fury's commentary and Briggs very likely showing up at the presser

People talk about Floyd being boring when he's a technical specimen . .

Klitschko on the other hand not only lulls the crowd to sleep but his cadence is subconscious hypnosis used to lull his opponent to sleep, I'm not joking - 100% literal

I really want Fury to make this a close fight... Wlad will retire when he loses another match, I'm sure of that.

Wlad is dull as fukk in general but he fights at heavyweight and there is always the very good chance of someone getting KTFO at any moment. You never feel like there is an imminent KO coming in a Floyd fight...going in you know for a fact it is going to be a loooooong 12 rounds.
