Got the impression, Fury tried his very best to look **** on the pads with Sugar Hill. Robotic and southpaw, they were having a giggle in there. Would’ve liked to have seen some of that lard off of Fury’s midsection but he ain’t shifting it at this point if his career.
Tommy Fury is the polar opposite of GGG. GGG - tough upbringing on streets of Kazakhstan. Great amatuer career. Has worked hard for everything he's got. Extremely skilled and tough fighter. A legend. Tommy Fumbles Fury - complete nonce from the love island set. Lacking any meaningful skills. Has had everything on a silver platter. Ducked a youtube fighter. An embarrassment to Tyson (I presume). As unskilled as Campbell Hatton but way less likeable. Can someone lock John Fury in a cupboard for fight week ?
They are always on a wind up. Usually around this time we get the rumours of how bad Fury has been hurt and cut in camp.
I’d have to disagree with you on account of Sky there - whoever the Sky interviewer was today who had 6 minutes with Fury (not sure how to link on here but it’s on Sky boxings twitter) was persistent and spent half the interview solely on Kinahan and really pushed the point to the extent you could see Tyson was visibly annoyed with him, and at the end of the interview said he won’t do anymore interviews with Sky. Fury isn’t an educated man and whilst he’s very funny, he’s funny on account of the daft stuff he comes out with rather than razor sharp comebacks or articulate jokes. He doesn’t really have an answer outside of “No comment” and to expect different from him I think is far fetched. What I would say is that Fury has clearly mellowed a little bit because he was angry at the Sky interviewer really pressing the point but didn’t do anything aggressive or that could be used against him to make headlines (i.e. “FURY SAYS KINAHAN INNOCENT) or something like that - he picked up the interviewer wanted a headline from it and refused to give him one. Tyson looking as composed as I’ve seen him, I think he’ll put on a show.
That interviewer certainly asked him time and again about Sheik Dan Kin Ahan - doing a great job in my opinion. Fury was seething at the end.
Yes, excellent interview. Although there is an irony to a lot of journalists' virtue-signalling tendencies when the corporations they work for are as often as dirty as sin. Still, he did the right thing to press him. Fury is not thick, but he isn't that sharp either when it comes to discussing serious things. Saying that it is none of his business is laughable. It absolutely is his business when he not only profits from it and endorses it, but more importantly is a big enough actor in any business exchange to have the final say in whether or not he wants to transact. Fury is a hypocrite when it comes to money, though, and will clearly opt for the biggest slice of pie on offer even when the decision is to be made between a huge slice of pie and a goliath slice of pie. He talks about religion yet engages in these sorts of things and is of course a certified materialist.
Good to have you back, let's hope you survive a bit longer this time (two days rather than one knowing the mods)
There is an interview from back when Haye pulled out where Fury is angry and downbeat, he says something like "hopefully someone puts up money for a fight, maybe some gangsters" and it wasn't said in a jovial tone. Fury clearly doesn't care where the money comes from but in my mind the establishment in this country is no less corrupt than Kinahan. DK allegedly sells drugs to people who want to buy them but for me the government and "legitimate" corporations do worse than that. Boxing has always been run by such types. And furthermore, if everyone is so high and mighty about this, why didn't they boycott Ruiz-AJ 2, which was held in the extremely "conservative" Kingdom of Saudi? I also have a strong distaste for the journalist class, who in most cases are very low as far as moral rectitude is concerned.
Would have been very interesting if Fury was sharp in the head and asked the Sky interviewer about Kinahan's relationship with Sky employee Macklin.
