fury3333By Daniel Mcglinchey: Undefeated heavyweight giant Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) has dismissed the possibility of stepping in the ring with untested American Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) anytime soon.

Tyson Fury is currently in talks with unbeaten European Heavyweight title holder Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9 KO’s) for a final eliminator to earn a shot at Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF strap.

Fury said on his social medial site: “[Deontay] has a long way to go boy. Windmilling like a b**** and knocking out an old man. Great job. Join the cue.”

In my opinion Tyson taking on Deontay now is ridiculous. It would be a considerable step back seeing as Tyson just knocked out the former two-time world champion Steve Cunningham, who I think is a far superior boxer to Deontay Wilder.

I get an inkling the Wilder camp know Tyson Fury is in talks with Pulev for a final eliminator and decided to make an offer knowing it would be rejected making Wilder look like he is finally looking for big names.

I think Fury vs. Pulev would generate massive interest from boxing fans around the world. If Fury comes out victorious, Wladimir would have no option but to finally step in the ring with him.

The Fury team know they would earn more money and more respect by facing Kubrat over Deontay and would then be in line for a shot at the title.

I see Deontay Wilder possibly stepping in the ring next with the likes of Matt Skelton or Michael Sprott; another easy victory but it won’t earn him any respect.
