    Froch destroys him anywhere, anytime. Froch trained like an absolute nutter, John Fury allegedly had a fry up before getting smashed to smithereens by Akinwande, he's not suddenly going to become a specimen at whatever age he is because he's claiming to eat squirrels.

    I dont really care to be honest. I think they are both dickheads, so may the best dickhead win. Pause.

    John Fury is an old man, old men dont fare well when fighting younger men. Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are prime examples. Fury would get ran through in the ring or out of it by Froch.

    So true, he’s scared of Eagan who can barely walk upright yet he destroys Carl Froch it’s crazy that people on a boxing forum believe this.

    I had to google this:

    No conjecture, gossip, rumour, badly researched online ‘articles’ FACTS from someone who knew John (we had the same manager at one point) and had the misfortune to spend time with him on many occasions.

    Real Name:

    The family name is actually PARTRIDGE not Fury.

    Bare Knuckle ‘Career’:

    Clearly these events are not recorded but as far as I know (and I’ve confirmed this with another Fury cohort) John was known to have a grand total of TWO organised bare knuckle fights, one was broken up by the Police, in the other both Fury and his opponent shook hands and called it a draw as they were both knackered.

    Boxing Career:


    NEVER scored a stoppage or a knockdown.

    Beaten by a part time Rugby player.

    Was ‘old manned’ in a Central Area title fight by the ancient cokehead Neil Malpass.

    Was rendered unconscious for almost ten minutes by the relatively light hitting Akinwande.

    He took a four year break after the Akinwande loss then made a comeback and took on Steve Garber (someone he’d previously beaten) after a decent first round he was systematically outboxed for two rounds before throwing his arms up in surrender and returning to his corner.

    Sparring Stories:

    He came over to John Celebanski’s gym in Bradford to spar with the aforementioned Steve Garber (this was after their first fight, before the second) Steve suffered a badly cut lower lip after two rounds and curtailed the sparring. MIDDLEWEIGHT Frank Grant asked if he could do a few rounds with Fury. Fury most insulted that a mere Middleweight would dare spar with him went in heavy, the sparring was ‘heated’ to say the least and Frank absolutely battered Fury for two rounds.

    In the changing room Fury starts muttering about ‘not being fit/thought he was sparring a heavy/wife had a ‘babby’ due/he’d had a long drive from Haslingden etc etc’ Grant told him to ‘shut his mouth’ (or similar) Fury makes some noise about ‘taking it outside’

    You didn’t say that to Frank Grant.

    Fury leaves the building Grant follows him outside stripped to the waist in the pouring rain and starts screaming at Fury to fight him, Fury gets in his van muttering about being knackered from the sparring, once again evoking his heavily pregnant wife and the impending ‘babby’, Grant kicks the van door tries to open it, Fury drives off.


    I didn’t see this sadly BUT I do have it on good authority from numerous people who witnessed it, Fury went to Leeds to spar with Tom Collins and Carl Gaffney, LIGHTHEAVY Collins knocked him clean out wearing 16oz gloves.

    By way of conclusion Gypsy John Partridge (it’s true I swear) is a liar, fantasist, bully and NOTHING like as hard as he would have you believe.

    If Fat Mick has any sense, he’ll keep John well away from press conferences, cameras, interviews etc.

    The funny thing is, so many of the details are both random and correct. Celebanski having a Bradford boxing gym and was manager/trainer of Frank Grant who was from Bradford. Frank Grant beating Herol Graham is a borderline world class win, so he was obviously a serious operator. John Fury was known to goto Yorkshire boxing clubs. Frank Grant has history for exreme levels of violence too

    https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8025893.king-of-the-ring-jailed-for-vicious-beating/

    The bloke who wrote said he was a southern boxer (I think), visiting northern boxing clubs and he reckoned none bald John looked like Elvis

    Fair play, that’s some proper deep lore. I don’t doubt Fury Snr’s got a violent past either – by his own telling he’s done the Borstal/prison thing and “found God” inside (or at least that’s the version in his book). But he comes across as a classic sociopath type, forever reinventing himself and forcing his way into the narrative to stay relevant, mistaking noise for signal.

    It’s Tate vibes: loads of posture and “aura” until there’s any real accountability. The moment he has to walk his talk in a ring, with rules and someone who can fight back, he comes unstuck. Then it’ll be “just an act” or “I’m playing a persona to create buzz” – but it’s not, and his type rarely change. Funny thing is when Dillian Whyte took the **** and called him Steve Bunce he just stood there and ate it, but if that had been someone smaller like Sunny Edwards or Parsons he’d have been straight on the attack.
