Wladimir Klitschko sure would be disappointed if Fury walked away from the contracted rematch, and as to what sort of chaos such an act would leave the majority of the heavyweight belts in is anyone’s guess.

Heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury was controversially nominated for the BBC’s Sports “Personality” award past year – despite his assersions that homosexuality and paedophilia will bring about the apocalypse. “It’s about how much motivation I have to keep going on”. Negotiations for a venue apparently also included a cruise ship, but Fury said he’d rather be in the Middle East for the fight, if he fights at all. I don’t know how Fury can hand it over to a guy that likely won’t be able to hold onto the titles any longer than he could.
“I’ve accomplished a dream”, he added. Yeah, I find it more than a little disturbing when I see a fighter get one or two big paydays, and then they want to walk away from the sport so that they can sit on the couch, or travel around the world without having to work hard any longer.
There would be no television cameras, no radio commentators and no website or newspaper reporters present, just the two fighters, their support teams and the 120 spectators. I could just sail into the sunset unbeaten with all the belts and live a normal life.
Fury revealed he had not returned to training in the ring yet, although he said he had been jogging and lifting weights. Fury told Gareth A Davies how he “doesn’t think it’s possible now”, but that it “would have been an epic story”. The 39-year-old took up his option of a rematch in December.
A good guess is Tyson is merely playing games, perhaps hoping, once again, to rattle Klitschko as the rematch draws nearer.

According to the mercurial 27-year-old, the showdown would only be available to 120 people, each paying one million United States dollars. People want to be associated with the heavyweight champion of the world.
