Shame, this was going to be an interestng match-up. Now the plan is to fight Chisora once again, anyone who listened to Fury's press conference will find this highly amusing.

Yeah think Fury had a look at what nick Ustinov was in and didnt really fancy it

gutted about that, what a shambles. Was there ever an intention to fight? You'd be fuming if you were going to this

Bit of a gutter but still a decent card

I've given up trying to work out what's true and what isn't for this card...whatever the truth Fury looks a plonker, only yesterday he was saying he'd still fight if he was blind!

Maybe seen Ustinov was (bizarrely) in the best shape of his career and thought **** it not worth the risk? The timing of the announcement stinks to high heaven though...practically waiting till fans were arriving in Manchester.

Been a bizarre promotion from start to finish and once again the only one who comes out of it on the night with money in the bank is Frank Warren, tickets sold, punters on site, boxnation subs up, no headline purses to pay...surprise surprise.

Not really a £500 ringside card though is it? 6 of the original named fights haven't come off.

Of course it isnt but you always get ripped off in Britain.

And to be fair to Warren he's said this morning if you wanna return your ticket for a full refund you can
Report alabaster crashes down July 26, 2014 3:27 PM BST
yeah bit late now though a lot of people will already have travelled. I'm just sore cos I've turned down a decent night out tonight to stop in and watch this.

It'a boxing isn't it, it happens, just seems to be happening all the time lately. Very disappointing.
Report Shrewd_dude July 26, 2014 3:53 PM BST
I've always liked Fury but he has lost all credibility with this after what he has previously said when Haye and Chisora pulled out.

With all this crap over the last year I'll be surprised if there's anyone left who would actually take the risk of buying a ticket for a British Heavyweight fight anymore.

It's going to be interesting to see where his career goes from here if he's inactive for another 6 months rescheduling another fight with Chisora in December.  Was always a crap fight anyway waiting 8 months after Hayes last pull out to fight someone he had already beaten.

hearing that there is a very good reason for Fury's pull out and it isn't anything to do with the Uncle...couple of reputable posters on boxrec saying that when the truth comes out nobody will be complaining, sounds like something quite serious tbh
Report sj July 26, 2014 4:04 PM BST
Someone put up on livefight it was a bit more serious but that was about it
Report alabaster crashes down July 26, 2014 4:08 PM BST
quite a few people seem to know but are not willing to let the story out so presume it's a sensitive issue, one of the kids maybe?

Anyway looks like my toys were out of the pram a bit early so I take back the Fury and Warren bashing, get the feeling my disappointment at the fight not happening is going to pale into insignificance when the truth comes out.

Yep good fight there. At least there are some competitive fights. Unlike Matchroom where Bellew was the biggest price on the card at 1-14. Gethin Flanagan should be interesting
Report alabaster crashes down July 26, 2014 8:02 PM BST
yeah this could be decent. Heffron just got run over didnt he, first time I'd seen williams I think, quite impressed. Like the way he took his time even when he hurt Heffron early, very composed

Would stop him in a round too

He's a bit similar in the path as his Dad tho. Nobody thought he had a chance v Benn due to who they'd both been in with I suppose

Report cueno July 27, 2014 3:59 AM BST
does anyone know how serious his uncle is & what is actually wrong with him as i think this stinks. I was a fury fan but i think he had a change of mind & chickened out. I might be wrong but he has slated all the fighters who got injured & pulled out of fights with him then like hours before this fight where fury was supposedly in tip top fighting shape he pulled out. Im very angry with this.
