Tyson Fury is not a British fighter

Who honestly cares? If he wants to be considered Irish and feels more connected to Ireland, so be it. It's his identity after all

 

At the end of day it doesn't take a genius to see what Fury / Mick have done.

They tried to promote him in Manchester but for whatever reason he couldn't even sell out leisure centre's so they've now gone down the Irish route to try & sell tickets & break America.

If it works then good luck to them

 

Any reason to not get behind him .

 

Expect to see a picture of Tyson dumping his Man Utd shirt in the bin this week.

 

Lol Marry our women........THEY TIK RRRRR JBBBBBBS

 

Catholic country, breeding like rabbits

tww

Very true. Travellers face massive prejiduce in ireland too though and are not exactly embraced fuere either
rish

 

It's pretty obvious that they've chosen to do this after seeing Macklin have some success playing the Irishman in New York. People need to remember that America is a relatively new country that is entirely based on immigration other than the native americans, Americans are also widely regarded as ignorant and are generally unpopular with the rest of the world after invading countless countries to enforce a capitalist ideology on people. None of them WANT to be American they all have to be from somewhere else, I met dozens of people in NYC and not a single one claimed to be American. They were all from somewhere else, even a blonde girl that looked swedish claimed to be Colombian through a thick american accent. Over there you don't NEED to be particularly ethnically pure so Fury living across the sea from Ireland, being a traveller and having Irish roots is far more ethnic identity than any of the "Irish" people New York will ever have so they'll accept Fury with open arms.

I have Italian and Irish and Welsh blood but don't consider myself anything other than a Londoner and personally don't identify with those roots at all. When I go to any of those countries they typically shun me as an Englishman and that's where I feel most comfortable so it's an easy decision. Having said that, if Fury genuinely feels differently then so be it, I'm not offended by it. It's not like it's the first time someone in sport has claimed a nationality to suit their career, didn't Vinnie Jones, the well known Welshman captain his country? Did everyone in England then turn on him and think he was a disgrace or were they just not bothered because he wasn't much of a player anyway?

 

Macklin is a conman, he even played for Tipperary as a kid just he could one day sell a few more tickets if you decided to take up professional boxing instead of doing law!

SCHEMING *******!!!!
