The Irish trying to claim Tyson Fury

never heard of him changing his name to o'hatton why would he when hatton is an irish name anyway :huh

its in his book that his great grandad from his dads side was a bareknuckle fighter in ireland called spider hatton and then his grandad emigrated to manchester

 

Whatever, he,s about the biggest tv draw or is in british boxing, and if he was on sky that would probably be ireland to,. When im watching a fight i hate waiting for the anthems to be over, wich creates another ? if the bigun gets his crack at big time, what flag and tune will he have his hand on his big ticker, singing along to ?

 

It was on back of a rag a while back, complete BS story. They claimed he wanted to buy into it out in U.S to pick up a further fanbase. Like he needed more fans..

 

the english route was a lot more prosperous for him than the irish one, its usually the lower tier fighters who need to cash in on their irish roots :-(

except for andre ward of course

 

Sorry to be a pedant but it isn't. It's of Germanic origin.

 

Fury, Chisora and MO all have English accents..

 

my mate is a hatton and he says his name is a norman name same as my own infact, i read a plaque in his gaf about his surnames history and it came to ireland and england with the vikings

 

just found this seems we were both wrong its an english and irish name

I say old boy, fisticuffs at dawn, what.

 

Which particular English dialect does "glussed" come from?

 

Yavull comrade ollyc

 

Achay i dunna nuw hew glussed hew.

 

TBF I haven't seen many people claim Chisora as English, still his accent is predominantly English.

 

Is that not when he's not talking swahili:?

 

Good observation. :good
