    Where did I say they were? but if you were to remove all boxers who take them and all the trainers who encourage them to do so, they'd not be much left of the sport. Especially at elite level. Compare it to athletics. How many 100m runners in local club's final were doping? Very few. How many in the 100m final in the Olympics? Very many. It's a reality of modern sport. To get to the very top, it often takes more than what God gave you.

    He's also had a fair bit of HGH in his time (either that or he has Acromegaly) his brow and jawline have both increased dramatically over the last few years.

    He still looked at every journalist face at the press conference and lied.

    Said how Tyson was looking great in the gym etc etc. He knew full well that fight was never happening.

    Can't really disagree ,but I do struggle to believe Peter Fury wasn't fully in the loop every step of the way, probably more than id expect from a usual fighter/trainer set-up & if he didn't know then you could say he's been stitched up

    Peter Fury lied by saying Tyson Fury looked great in the gym but that's normal in boxing. 99% of fighters and their trainers say they are doing great in training when they are not doing good or not even training!

    I don't know if Peter knew the fight was never happening. I suspect he was hoping Tyson was about to pull himself together and get in serious mood for training.

    Realistically, as close as they like to say they are as a family, I'm guessing they are like any other family. In the real world, uncles and fathers might not realize how much their nephews/sons are f--king up until it's too late.

    I think he's been stitched up a bit by Tyson's erratic behaviour, but I agree he's misled others in interviews in an effort to protect Tyson and in a futile hope things would get back on track.

    I'd stop well short of imagining that he knew the fight was OFF much sooner than anyone else did though.
    This has all been building a long time, but the final implosion really was sudden I reckon.

    The Fury clan had a huge opportunity to change people's perceptions of travellers with the profile of a World Heavyweight Boxing Champion and boy have they made perceptions 1000 times worse now.

    Excitement to the division promised - took part in the worst stinker of all time and bored people waiting on the next fight.
    Discrimination they roar - then he regularly tweets homophobic and sexist comments.
    Fighting men they shout - then he cancels twice against an old man and bottled it against Ustinov.
    Depression they claim - next day in the Arena for the Crolla fight, out partying at weekends and taking the urine on twitter.

    Now he has admitted a criminal offence, hopefully the BBOC will terminate his boxing licence and put an end to a sad chapter in the World Heavyweight Division.

    Traditional perceptions of travellers is that they are thieving, crass, lawless scum. Con artists, strongarm intimidators, caravan thieves and drunken thugs.

    Tyson Fury has improved that image. Tyson Fury snorts coke, goes to raves and talks sh!t on twitter, just like the rest of 'respectable' society.

    Can't see him hanging onto his licence so he will be stripped next week.

    The knock on implications for the division are massive- I'd imagine Parker/Ruiz is very swiftly made for the WBO Title.
