I respect both guys, both are legends but I'm glad, I actually hope it never goes through. Both guys can get seriously hurt especially Jones who is not really a heavyweight. This was and will continue being a circus, put on by people who think they could make a cheap buck on the backs of theses legends. I highly doubtful that this fight even sells well, I'm sure they were thinking this would get a good amount of steam to sell the fight and were probably dissatisfied with the lack of interest in this.

Neither Tyson or Jones are mentally well.

Probably a good move to push the date back and get more promotional hype going. I've had 2 guys I play poker with who know nothing about boxing ask very excitedly about my take on the fight.

Big surprise

Postponed forever hopefully...

[Combat Talk Radio]

I'm okay with this.

Though I still say it should have been Tyson/Briggs.

Fury/Wilder III is so big, even other PPVs are postponing so they can't miss out on the hype.

Roy has to get hip replacement, and Mikes rheumatoid arthritis delayed everything
