[Other Sport] Fury vs Chisora, in the realms of PT Barnum?

[Lenny Rider]

"You can fool some of the people, some of the time."

Big advocate of Fury in light of his struggles with mental health and his subsequent sporting comeback, but even I think he's taking the piss now.

Fury vs Chisora '3'

Saturday 3rd December at White Hart Lane, I will stand corrected but I don't think British domestic boxing has ever had an open air show in December!!!!

I appreciate he needs a 'warm up' fight to get ready for Usyk in March, but Del Boy??

Was at the 2nd Fury/Chisora fight and Fury stood him on his head. Absolutely no need for this fight and not sure how Chisora qualified for it . One thing I know is, that it will sell out though, so it makes financial sense.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

They wont be getting any of my money.

 

[The Seagull]

This is how they tried to set up the fight. They’re actually friends.

Would you like to have a £50 charity wager for Chestnut Tree House, the only childrens hospice in Sussex?

They will still be selling tickets on the day, and the TV coverage will show rows of empty seats, if not i will pay up

 

[The Seagull]

I tell you what. I’ll go £20 and I’ll stand by it

(Not unsold tickets that are on the secondary market).

You are a Gentleman sir......

 

[The Seagull]

I do try.

As a side issue I was on your coach to Liverpool for the 2-2 cup game. A most eventful day

Chisora is either very brave or very foolish - maybe both. Sure he'll get a lot of money, but is it worth risking his health for? As a sport, this appears to be the nearest equivalent to bear baiting, but with just the one outclassed dog. I really can't see many people getting enthusiastic about this fight, let alone paying money for it. Include me in that number!

Wally the Coach driver was never the same again.

When I did his funeral years later his son told me he had to have 10 days off afterwards.

Having watched the press conference in their defence they’ve taken on the highest available rated fighter, Chisora, is still ranked Number 9, despite the 12 defeats on his record.

Still won’t sell out though.

And if the ring walk is at the traditional 10pm time, what will the temperature be on 3rd December?

Ref stops fight due to frostbite

Ruiz, Helenius, Ortiz are all ahead of Chisora in WBC rankings (for what that systems worth).

It will be a very cold fight for the punters if the current fashion of shoes and no socks continues

Looks like I was wrong and a well deserving charity gets my £20

Seagull, I’m a old git, what did you picture show?

How many tickets they’ve sold?

 

[dangull]

I think they did the Bruno v Bugner fight back in the day in winter at Wembley stadium. The fighters had to wear dressing gowns between rounds if I remember rightly.

As for this bout I think Fury will treat it as a sparring session and go easy on Chisora.

It showed tickets for sale on Ticketmaster. I must say I’m surprised. Can’t see this being a sell out.

A good interview and the tough (but obvious) questions asked. Even Fury is trying to sell Chisora as a credible opponent instead of the usual “he’s a bum” remarks.

End of October 1987 at White Hart Lane, apparently it was freezing that night, put another 6 weeks on that

Why did Fury vs AJ not happen in the end?

Why did Fury vs AJ not happen in the end?

AJs team didn’t sign the contract and to be honest would probably rather he made a bit more money before his career ending fight with Fury.
