Big John Fury BT Interview

Cry more mate, John Fury has just admitted his son’s team isn’t fit for purpose. It’s a huge fight one of the biggest and they’re too amateur for this level of business.

 

John Fury is worried again that Fury will lose to Wilder !
I swear a couple of months ago he was concerned that Fury needs a tune-up for AJ, now he's complaining that the AJ fight isn't happening next .... if the AJ fight was happening, I suspect he'd be very worried about that too. He gets very anxious about his son losing, it seems, despite all the bold boasts he makes on Tyson's behalf ...

To be fair, Wilder IS a risky fight.
Despite what people say here.

Yeah, Tyson Fury could lose. Which makes it interesting.

 

Right you are, forgot that John couldn’t travel there.

 

The most surprising thing is that BT Sport actually allowed the interview to be uploaded! Then again fury wilder 3 doesn't make them anywhere near the same money as the AJ fight. I loved the part where John questioned Tyson signing the Wilder fight backstage in a random fight, very strange. Wilder on the other hand is doing all the right things, not saying much and training hard.

 

It is odd isn't it. Tyson seems to have a strange entourage in Miami including this guy

who describes himself as Fury's "operating partner". It looks like he's the person behind a lot of the social media nonsense. Exactly the sort of hanger on that Fury's dad and brother would want gone.

I also wonder how suitable Sugar Hill is as a trainer. He seems to actively take part in a lot of the socialising stuff, whereas I think Ben Davison would've probably tried to put a stop to it. Just feels off to me.

I am hoping it's some sort of smoke screen and really he's out there training hard.. but who knows.

This has got the potential to blow up in everyone’s face and I’d wager now that both men will not come through their respective ‘warm up’ fights

 

These are 2 big challenges for both fighters, both have to be their best versions going in or both could easily be defeated.

Fury in particular could end up being badly flattened if not 100% focussed on a dangerous, hungry opponent looking for revenge.

 

Exactly. The issue he's got is that he could be winning every second of the fight and drop concentration just for a second to lose.

Obviously at HW that is true of any fight to an extent, but it's not quite the same as vs Wilder with his power and unpredictability.

He's going to have to be switched on for every single second - and based on his Instagram activity he appears to be anything but switched on. Lots of mingling with celebs and YouTubers, lots of nice dinners and family time, some training here and there granted - but hardly locking himself down and focussing on one thing. Seems to have an awful lot of hangers on too.

 

Yea I got a feeling we going to be seeing Wilder-Usyk for the undisputed.

 

Bob Arum is too amateur??

 

I personally can’t make a case for Wilder winning the third fight. I’ve seen enough in the pervious 2 to be certain of a Fury victory.

However, is there a chance of complacency sneaking in on Fury’s side after such a comfortable victory last time out?

 

Big John not brimming with confidence about the outcome of this fight compared to his 100% confidence before the 2nd fight which you attended. Great performance by Fury that night.

Fury needs to be in his best shape and totally focussed or the 12th round of the first fight can easily happen again with him not making the count.

Big John is realistic and knows Tyson faces a very dangerous and wounded opponent.

 

Fury is just annoyed that the US won't let him in, where Saudi might well have!

 

This would be beyond comical.

 

Wilder lands a huge right in the first and floors Usyk to become the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion after many people wrote him off after the Fury loss.

He then defends four times against Luiz Ortiz, has a trilogy with Tommy Fury, then laughs off challenges from Dave Allen, Dullian Whyte and Dull Boy Chisora.

Finally Wilder accepts the challenge of Big John Fury to fight him at the back of his house only to find Big John has been knocked over by his own punchbag while warming up.

He beats the count of 10 days but is still not fit to continue according to ref Terry O'Connor who waves Wilder off to America with his huge haul of PPV Loot.
