    Or does he really believe he's going to beat Wlad?
    I was just thinking about it and Tyson has a young family, perhaps he wants to get a big pay day as soon as possible and that's why he's concentrating on antics and making a name for himself. I mean seriously, it's borderline delusional to think he can beat Wlad right now. With some extreme dedication, hard work, smart matchmaking etc he could be elite in a number of years but right now? :nut

    Fury's an Irish Traveller. Fighting is part of their culture.

    These guys have stand up scraps regularly.

    Boxing a tough game to earn a living in.

    He's in it because he likes fighting.

    He's actually said before "I don't care if I win or lose" he just enjoys fighting, bizarre mentality but it is what it is

    Fury is only 24, Wlad is 37. In a few years Wlad will retire and
    Fury will still be in his 20s, with a 10+ years of fighting ahead of him,
    if he wishes.

    So Fury doesn't have to beat Wlad.
    Fury can lose to Wlad, and still go on to be a very good champ.

    He may in fact win a belt someday, but we'll have to agree to disagree on the "very good" part.

    I like how two random gypsy street fighters have much better physiques than Fury, the professional boxer

    He's only boxing to get publicity so that he can jump start his singing career.

    Obviously all pro boxers want to make big bucks. There are fighters who want to be world champions as well.
    What I was getting at was is Tyson looking to "cash out" on a fight with Wlad? If he does get the fight soon and barring a miracle he loses, will he come back from it? How committed is this guy to being a world champion or at the least getting big money fights for long time.
