TYSON FURY HAS called off his threat to pull out of tonight’s world heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko in Germany.
Fury is due to face the WBA, IBF and WBO champion in Dusseldorf but the fight was put in jeopardy earlier today due to the condition of the canvas.
His agent Asif Vali took to Twitter to say the British challenger had complained to his own Boxing Board of Control and the commissioner of the Dusseldorf fight.
“If it’s not resolved, the fight is in jeopardy of being off,” Vali said.
However, it appears we will have a world title bout after all with Vali once more using Twitter to say it would be going ahead.
Bizzare situation but Fury and his team were spot on. Awful shady from the Klitschko team.
Par for the course.
Headline is a quagmire.
Giggity giggity
Excess sponge has been removed from the canvas to resolve the situation.
Klitschko camp will know that Fury is very mobile and the spongy ring was an attempt to reduce his mobility .
Fury will be laying tar-mac for Klitschko after the fight
Excellent!
Probably worried about how the canvass will feel when he gets slammed on to it.
Yet he complained and got rid of the extra foam/padding? If anything the canvas will be a lot harder where he to fall face first on it.
What time will the fight roughly start at?
Ring walk starts at 9.55 do about 10.15 ish
Shut up Ryan
