    lol I was expecting something official, like a secret vid recorded before his fight with Wallin or the other random German dude he fought. Not some random guy no one has ever heard of without any actual proof that they were Fury's gloves. Also, why would Fury cheat in sparring lmao.

    According to Boxrec he's a 29 year old, 9-1 HW from Illinois who hasn't had a fight since 2016. Never heard of him personally. Strange story though.

    Some go all out in sparring. They could've made it to where Tyson had 6-10 oz lighter gloves

    You cant cheat in sparring ?Its not a contest.

    The objective is to not hurt the actual fighter going into a fight, so less padding is not really relevant unless hes sending people to a hospital ? :ambulance:

    If this guy is angry about less padded gloves he then was there to get one over on Fury and didn't. He was in the wrong place. lol


    If fury is using less padding he may be trying to mimick the real time punches hes doing with smaller gloves in the ACTUAL fight ? Who knows,who cares.....Fury hiring guys to spar is so he prepares not the guys hes paying to be there. lol

    I can assure you Fury does NOT go all out in a sparring match..he doesn't even do it in an actual sanctioned match ,the closest weve seen was his last fight bc he was getting pressured .lol

    When has Fury ever told the truth most of the time ? This guy has to be the spot light 24/7.

    Besides that if he informs guys hes wearing smaller gloves it might make them less abrehensive to go at him.

    I used to train with guys hitting me with BAG gloves made of hard leather and a steel bar inside ( see Judo Gene Lebell who fought a boxer with those old 70's prototypes..lol) while I wore big padded gloves ,one of the guys was over 100 pounds heavier then me, guess who won those matches ? He didn't . Admittinegly ,my sparring sessions weren't actual sparring it was going to take people heads off ,the point is Fury needs his guys heads in the game ,hes not a REAL puncher and may need more accuracy when trying new things in the ring??? Like I said who knows? Who cares.

    Anyone there is not there to worry about stupid things like that,its sparring .

    The padding being removed isn't the biggest issue here. There's another video that came out the other day showing what looks like Fury (at least someone that size) out the back of the gym filling the emptied gloves with hedgehog spikes. Apparently four hedgehogs were needed for each glove each day, and now the American Wildlife Preservation Society has filed a lawsuit against Fury for illegal poaching and cruelty to animals.

    It still doesn't excuse the fact that Tyson or his team removed Padding from his gloves & weren't up front about it.

    I agree with you I hate it when guys try & make a name for themselves in sparring. I believe that you should never go all out in sparring but nonetheless it's shady behavior that should never be tolerated & is inexcusable.

    Especially when you're a multimillionaire. Tyson should 100% just wear smaller gloves if he wants an advantage over his sparring partners.

    Removing padding from gloves is sketchy as hell. Just buy smaller gloves

    Nah, you don’t wear down your gloves like that with sparring.
    Maybe bag work. But that’s a big maybe because the gloves looked to be in good condition.

    Smart move, with his current opposition Fury gets accused of record padding. Now nobody will accuse him of padding anymore.
