    "Don’t act like a professional and live in the gym for days a week because that doesn’t achieve anything.

    If you turn up on time, try your hardest and do your best, the sad truth is 99 per cent of the time you still won’t make it

    If you are in the gym and still going out two or three times a week then you might make it.

    Championship boxing is a mindset, it is not about who trains the hardest or who lifts the heaviest weights, you have to enjoy yourself.

    If you don’t enjoy yourself then the sport becomes too serious and you end up losing.

    I have often had 15 pints before 15 rounds of sparring and still smashed f*** out of somebody, if I am lying then God can strike me down.

    I remember one night I had 14 pints of Fosters and then sparred three top-ten heavyweights - and battered them all - that’s because I don’t take it all too seriously"

    Boxing is in the mind. Lopez, Loma & AJ perfect recent examples.

    This is why he never stays at #1 for long. He just doesn't have the willpower to really live for the sport.

    Fury talks about retiring a lot because he doesn't have the discipline to be long term champion. Graft will beat talent when talent doesn't work hard.

    Fury is a walking contradiction and nothing he says can be taken at face value.

    To be honest recovery is as important as training, but Fury takes that to extremes. Haha

    14pints of fosters is the equivalent to 7 normal pints. As it's pish. And for a man of his size he should be downing atleast 20-25.

    Mike Tyson said he was always trained as hard he could, 1st into the gym & last out in his amateur days & that he noticed only one other boxer as hard but left the gym after Tyson & that was Holyfield...they might disagree about the training intensity & duration ...but you're spot on regarding the mindset...

    It's 90% the fact that he's close to 300 pounds and makes everyone look tiny in comparison.

    So the facade of being this mental health advice advocate dropped rather quickly, keep on heavy boozing and all will be good, oh yes wonderful advice for those with 'issues' who are foolhardy enough to believe his statements.
