Wilder and his team should go into PR for how they've managed to spin the whole AJ negotiations. 

I've just watched a panel of old fighters (Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, Spinks etc) talking about how AJ ducked Wilder as if it's a proven fact. They were also talking about how AJ needs to step up and prove himself against the best. Have they ever seen Wilder's record?

The guy only took the Fury fight because he thinks he's finished.

Surprised in Lennox but the others have took to much punishment

Couldn't agree more!

I'm not a massive Fury fan as it goes but I sure hope he knocks Wilder into next week.

It was interesting to see that Fury thinks if he wins and Wilder doesn't go for a rematch then he reckons DW will go fight Joshua. Personally I don't see Joshua fighting anyone other than Whyte before going for full unification. I also hope Fury wins on the basis that he will fight AJ with much less disagreement over negotiations than Wilder IMO.

I hope Fury does him to , and I’ve no doubt Big Josh would smash Wilder . How anyone swallows the utter tripe about avoiding Wilder is beyond me . There’s only one side been doing the avoiding . They wanted no part of Josh and think this is a cushy number for a big pay day

Anything on the undercard worth keeping an eye out for?

Hopefully yarde gets a win, then takes up the challenge thrown down to him by Hosea Burton, not sure that'll happen though.

Judging by the bookies odds - no.

Wilder had a $15m contract that had been verbally agreed to sign and he chose not to. He has admitted this. 

This is a strange way to duck somebody. 

[Bedford Roughyed]

OK I’m going Wilder winning by KO in the second.

*my sports pundantry is as bad as my political and past records suggest I will be miles out.

[chuffer]

I reckon wilder in the 8th/9th

[Gerrumonside ref]

An easy comeback win for Luis Ortiz.

Good job you hit the "d" key.

Either alternate way and you'd be in trouble.

[Maximus Decimus]

So much for ringwalks being guaranteed after 5am!

Might use it to try get a refund after the fact

[Gerrumonside ref]

Come on Fury!

[chuffer]

Not a bad start but the showboating makes me nervous 

[Old Frightful]

I've no picture but still got a decent sounding commentary.

That's what you get by listening to the radio I suppose.

Sounds like Fury is having the better of it up to now.

[chuffer]

So far so good!

[chuffer]

Can he keep it going though

[Old Frightful]

Wilder now having the upper hand by the sound of it.

The atmosphere has lifted somewhat.

[Old Frightful]

Wilder's left eye now closing?

[chuffer]

Got a fair swell....hes been caught a few times by fury

[Old Frightful]

Fury down!

[Old Frightful]

Will he last the 90 seconds of the 9th left?

[chuffer]

Hang in there son!

[Old Frightful]

Fury recovers and starts showboating again.

Both fighters now sounding tired.
