Tyson Fury on Vitali

Hi guys,

I have just tweeted Tyson about the rumours that Vitali is going in for knee surgery, which in turn would pretty much retire him due to time out and his age.

I asked him:

Tyson - would you be disappointed if the rumours of Vitali retiring soon are true? Would you feel like you missed out?

His response (his mis-spelling not mine!)

Tyson Fury ‏@Tyson_Fury
@v2Journal no I'd say good riddons

Do you agree?

It would make the division more exciting. Areola has pulled out of the WBC eliminator so if Vitali does retire Fury could fight the vacent belt.

I am a bit split on it Adam, not sure we should celebrate too loudly over one only two guys with anything approaching world class ability departing the division but on the flip side for as long as him and his brother are active we will never have an undisputed champion which would probably be the best thing the division could hope for.

I'd say it is good riddons from Fury's personal viewpoint as it spares him from an embarrassing one-sided clobbering and gives him a realistic chance of claiming a world belt, but it is definitely not a case of good riddons from boxing in general.

I'd be delighted too..............

Such a stellar division...The greatest prize in sports..The dream people have died trying to attain..... being shared by a couple of Brothers just makes the sport look completely sad....

Just glad they haven't got a third brother at 6ft 7 and 250...............

Fury v Haye for the WBC belt would be a laugh.

Does anyone give Fury a chance with Haye???.......Over in two rounds..

Maccarinelli all over again.

I'm with you on that one Truss. Johnson was happy to stand on the outside and never commit himself, while Haye will be on the outside looking for an opening to exploit with speed and power.

If Vitali did retire, surely Wlad would challenge for that belt at some point to become undisputed champion?
If that's the case Fury could keep the belt warm for a defence or 2.

Think Fury is underrated on here. He's also too stupid to stay down

Might be underrated...But his hand speed and defence are poor in relation to Haye...........

Just see a slaughter..

Fury,s next fight is huge. He needs to impress the world and make Price look like even more of a novice.

So Vitali is now having career ending operations just to avoid fighting Haye!! What a ducker!!

I think it would be good for Vitali to go now. If he is picking up injuries like this, it is time to let his body rest. With his brain, he can do lots more with his life and I would wish him well.

Vlad is the better brother IMO so be sad to see him leave what is currently a weak division anyway. Think Fury's showing a lack of respect really with his comment. If he was here now i'd give him a piece of my......

Vlad...Rowley won't be happy..

Ooops meant Vitali is the better brother!

David Haye : "If I don't fight Vitali Klitschko that will be it. There is no other motivation. Even if he relinquishes his titles, it's who you beat to get them."

We can rule that out then.

If Vitali retires (which I think he should), then Fury should look to build a world title fight with Haye. Big money in that. Would sell out a large venue and guarentees a Brit an alphabelt. Not sure hwo feasible it is, but if the money is right, you know haye is in.

Are you crazy ??

Heavyweight champions get $5 million bucks a fight minimum.......Why would he want to get battered for that amount in a one off fight!!

He'll look to win and milk............

Aye because Haye has always shown at heavy his word is his bond. If someone offers him enough money he would fight Fury or anyone else you'd card to mention.

Fury v Haye. Build it, hype it, uber hype it and make it.

'good riddons' is probably the best thing ive read all day. haha, brilliant.

i would love haye to ko fury, ive said it before fury is rubbish, haye is class and vitali and hes team know it that is why he will retire. he dosent change hes legacy by beating haye but knows there is a real chance of haye boxing him for 12 rounds .

"Vitali and his team know it!!"

I suppose they got scared watching his brother win a shutout........

bahahahahahahahahaha

Wlad might finally unify.....

Think Haye has a good chance against the Vitali that fought Charr and Chisora. Definitely slowed down but maybe more down to the knee than age. Haye certainly has a better chance than Fury (i do rate Fury though) at this stage of Furys career. Wouldn't even be competitive but time is on his side to get a world title.

Are Wlad and Vitali still brothers?

Not sure, lets do a blood test just in case they evolved.

Waingro confirmed it. He informed us that they are brothers.

That's true but if hes a shepherd we're amoeba and thus we cannot retain the information for lon... oh hello there have we met before?

Lets put it this way, fury won't get his hands on the belt due to fat mick being insignificant promoter for such a high profile title.

If anything GoldenBoy will buy Wilder the belt. Suliman will be happy to give Oscar a heavy weight champ on his books. Just a thought
