Hearn wants Fury to beef up Sheffield card on 10/24

YouTube video

By Scott Gilfoid: As I predicted earlier, Eddie Hearn needs a big name for his Kell Brook vs. Diego Chaves fight card on October 24th on Sky Box Office at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, UK. Hearn isn’t going to take his fight card off of Sky Box Office PPV despite the fact that Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tyson Fury has been pulled from the same PPV event after Klitschko suffered a leg injury during his preparation for the Fury fight.

It was supposed to be Klitschko-Fury and Brook-Chaves in a split site card on Sky Box Office. That isn’t happening, and Hearn is starting to show signs desperation at trying to find a big name. But get this; Hearn wants Fury to fight on the Brook-Chaves card. Is that desperation or what?

Brook-Chaves will be tough sell on Sky Box Office PPV minus Klitschko-Fury

hearnBy Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Eddie Hearn got some really bad news today with IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko postponing his fight against Tyson Fury because of a calf injury. This means that without the Klitschko-Fury fight, the Kell Brook vs. Diego Chaves fight will be the headliner fight on Sky Box Office on October 24th from the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, UK. If Hearn discounts the fight 95% by charging only 5% for the Brook-Chaves fight card, then I think it might be worth it to purchase it along with the other mismatches on the card. But no way do I see it worth the whole price now that Fury-Klitschko is off the card.

Tyson Fury: ‘I Predicted Klitschko Injury’

fury100By Tim Fletcher: After hearing the news that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) had pulled out of their scheduled October 24th fight in Dusseldorf, Germany, Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) says he and his trainer Peter, and his father John Fury had predicted the 39-year-old Klitschko would pull out of the fight for one reason or another.

Wladimir told the media today that he had suffered a calf injury while training for the fight. He plans on rescheduling the fight as soon as he has a timeline for how long it’ll take for his injury to heal up.

Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury: Don´t fall asleep please

YouTube video

By Gerardo Granados: Have you ever seen a press conference at any weight division in which the defending undisputed Champion would have said to the reporters present: “don´t fall asleep please” or “there’s some yawning in the audience.” It is even more shocking after seeing the contender Tyson Fury come into the press conference on Wednesday in a Batman custom getting everyone hyped up and minutes later people starts yawning once the Champion Wladimir Klitschko starts to speak.

I have to confess that I am not a Gypsy King fan and Tyson Fury´s custom looked cheap and ugly, but his boldness and craziness was simply priceless.

YouTube video

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) wasn’t impressed with the clowning that Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) did on Wednesday during their press conference in London, England. The 6’9” Fury made someone of a clown of himself by dressing up as Batman and then wrestling one of his friends or teammates, who was dressed as the Joker.

Fury showed no respect to Klitschko and said some particularly nasty things about the long-time champion. Klitschko says he’s going to teach the 27-year-old Fury a big lesson on October 24th, when they face each other at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
