No with Whyte, Chisora, Wallin, Schwartz, Pianetta and Seferi it was all fun and games. Only Wilder brought out this side of Fury, and even then Wilder was too dumb to capitalise. Fury knows he’s got a live opponent and he’s playing the pantomime Villian to get under Usyk’s skin. Usyk is ice cold to the core and I think it actually freaks Fury out.
I think there is some truth here, he knows he's got to get himself up for this fight and be at his best. I think he prefers to operate as the villain and it helps him get focussed thinking he's going to prove people wrong. It's a bit boring but I don't really believe any of these top level fighters are "freaked out" or "scared" of eachother. It's all theatrics.
I think there’s also a high chance Fury is just being a dickhead. If it’s not announced this week then..
Fury wonders why the Saudi's won't pay his the same as Joshua. It's because you always act like a complete *****
F the Saudi's, he don't need them. Fury is the A-Side Plus in control of everything. Fury DESTROYED Usyk and his manager today on IG.
I have avoided all the nonsense in this build up. Tyson fury just annoys me. His downfall post his boxing career is going to be brutal and although I don't like him I hope he gets the right people around him for it. Sadly I doubt it and a tragic story will take place. I have been pretty much sure this fight was on since they announced the joyce fight just beforehand and it not being on ppv. It's being used to promote the big ppv following. Age old tactic.
There's a really easy way to shut up all the "haters" and naysayers and that's to SIGN THE ****ING CONTRACT. JUST SIGN IT ALREADY FFS I like Frank a lot but he stands there grinning saying "it's happening". Ok great. So sign the contract.
The best bit for me was when he tore into Gary Linekar. He really spoke from the heart there without having to keep to boxing politics and it was refreshing to hear
Frank’ll do nothing. Tyson owns him. he knows that if it wasn’t for Fury there’d be no BT Sport contract and he’d be in the car parks with Hobson
I’m 99.99% convinced the fight is happening April 29th now after hearing Frank and Tyson speaking today. It’s on.
