Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury, Multiple Team Members Test Positive For Covid, Wilder Trilogy Bout Postponed

[baroidi]

What an idiot Fury and his team are, Fury isn't even fully vaccinated and they didn't bother testing the sparring partners?

[Leonbus2]

Wilder fans/ Fury Haters are really grasping at straws at this point. Claiming that Fury is scared of wilder,and this is all a ploy to delay or cancel the fight? Fury already fought the man twice. Outboxed him in one,and gave him the beating of his life in the second fight. A sound enough beating that wilder complained about his costume,claimed that bayless was drunk,claimed that Fury had weights in his gloves,claimed that his water was spiked,and claimed that his coach was a double agent. Why on earth would tyson Fury purposefully delay a fight against man who he easily beat the breaks off of last time, especially when he's lined up to face the winner of usyk-joshua later this year? Take your tinfoil hats off folks,people get covid,and these things happen. I for one was looking forward to cracking open a beer and seeing this while visiting georgia,but it looks like I'm going to have to wait with everyone else.

Great summary. People in the states think that way. A lot of conspiracy down there. Reality means little to them. Next they will claim that Fury is a Free Mason and that Hillary Clinton had something to do with it.

This was almost a guarantee to happen. Think about it - Fury has to be the center of attention non-stop with his flamboyant still which he parades everywhere he goes. He practically throws himself at people. What a dumb sht. He was begging for Covid like a speeder going 95 miles in the fast lane is begging for a speeding ticket.

He couldn’t vacate dummy….it’s simply fight or get lost….question …if it’s such an easy win then why all the b.s shenanigans and the avoidance…..say what you want but if it were your ass on the other end and you had a signed rematch clause you would want your opportunity no matter what and that’s just keeping it 100

If he didn't want to smash Wilder for a third time he certainly could have. What avoidance? He took the fight. You are implying with no proof that he doesnt indeed have covid. It's only postponed simpleton. Wilder is getting his opportunity still so what are crying about? Sucks it isn't happening this month for sure but Fury has fought Wilder twice and beat him twice, he has nothing to fear, but clowns like you are trying to spin this as if you know for a fact he doesnt have it, but you dont, so please shut up.

People are very dumb, you can still catch covid even if you have been vaccinated. I tested positive the day of my flight back to the states here in the Philippines. The vaccine just just provides protection for severe cases of covid and some immunity to not catch it it. It's not 100% that you can never catch covid if you have been vaccinated. Also all I got from covid is a runny nose.

I know everyone’s probably gonna come with their “Fury’s ducking” “ticket sales are bad” conspiracy theories but the thing is the Covid tests are mandated for Fury & Wilder so I’m inclined to believe that he has it and due to protocol they can’t proceed.

However, this is probably a big break for FOX, ESPN, PBC & Top Rank. There’s little to no buzz for a fight that would have been only two weeks away. Ticket sales have been poor according to reports. & Pac/Spence fighting on PPV in Vegas as well next month, it’s probably hurting these ticket and PPV preorders as well.

I just feel like this fight was fxxckd from the start. This fight was literally forced on the public. Most fans wanted & expected Fury-AJ but instead we got this. There’s barely been any promo, wilder doesn’t wanna talk to the press and Fury’s said pretty much all he could say without a dance partner. It’s all felt so forced, rushed and unexciting.

Fox and Espn better use this postponement wisely. Put some effort into promoting this thing draw up some public interest. They also better hope and pray Canelo doesn’t secure a fight for September in Vegas because I have a feeling he will do just that with or without Caleb Plant.

I think fans are just ready for this saga to finally be over, I know I am

yes folks are disappointed for not getting the unification that we have been craving for….but I don’t believe that this is the reason sales are low…**** the dam fight is/was 16 days out…don’t know about you all but I don’t generally but a fight 16 days ahead of time(don’t know who does that dumb ****) maybe a day or the day of fight unless I’m trying to go live…..The truth of the matter is that fury is still not in well enough shape and needs more time thus this Covid bull crap and this is the only reason the fight is being delayed and I guarantee you that he will further drag this out as long as he can….if I were wilder I would spark out white in the mean time as a way to let fury know we still whipping your stalling ass when the time comes….#you got anymore excuses Roy

But if Fury didn't get vaccinated, that is on him, not on some odds. ESPECIALLY the way he flaunts himself everywhere he goes because he cannot stand not being the center of attention.

[Bronx23]

No Chief, Wilder fans feel vindicated in knowing the man who was scheduled to fight him is not only a cheat but is also a coward who hides behind Covid as a face-saving move to keep from getting his ass whooped and getting knocked the fuck out!

Covid testing is mandated for both Fury and Wilder in order for this event to go on. Fury can’t fake Covid to get out of this fight.

[JATExTHAxSNAKE]

I can already hear Wilder and his small delusional fan base calling the whole thing a conspiracy and Fury is ducking Wilder. Sorry but go watch the last fight and come back and tell me the winner of that fight is afraid of the loser. He lost every minute of every round and was bullied along the way like a punk. Can't wait for it to happen again.

Question……how many wilder fights have you watched? Better yet how many josh fights have you watched?……when they lost their fights they were both acting strange and out of character…..I’m saying I’ve seen all of their fights and they never displayed that type of behavior in their entire careers….you mofos better wake up….josh was suddenly looking goofy as *** before the fight and wilder clearly looked off rubbing his eye constantly before the match and like stretching his eyes….explain their actions that suddenly out of 20-40 fights they acting weird…..I smell a rat….if I had if witnessed that weird **** in some past fights I’d be in agreement with folks but I’ve never seen either fighter doing any of the weird crap they did in their losses

Thank you for pointing this out. Fury really should have been fully vaccinated though, and I hope Wilder and his team are too.
