    Same reason as Joshua changed to Anthony ‘stay humble’ Joshua from big femi the enforcer and drug dealer. Generates public backing and the ‘frank Bruno’ effect.

    Tyson genuinely does take his mental health advocate role serious and has been low as low. However he understands the importance of the power of the media now.

    When he beat klitschko he was mouthing off, public hated him despite a legendary win. Now he’s back he has the perfect story and does not want the public to turn on him again

    How he feels about wlad in all honesty? He always talks **** about him but I think he rates him extremely high and why he ran from the rematch against wlad. Was he afraid of losing or was he still on stuff?

    He respects him as a champ but I can honestly tell you he ALWAYS disliked Wlad.

    He hated wlads camps, they were ridiculously strict...even bedtime rules. He was extremely rude to some of the fighters he brought in to spar, Richard towers (remember him) being one of them. Sometimes he would literally just tell people to p.iss off out of camp during a spar.

    Wlad is quite possibly the most fake personality out there. Even more so than AJ.

    I know Michael hunter is everyone’s darling at the minute but he was a complete suck up to wlad.

    Fury, like he said, only really wanted to beat Wlad. To turn the tables on him for once. Wlad telling fury ‘you want everything i have’. All fury wanted was his soul.

    And he got it. Wlad will never let it go

    This is a really interesting insight, thanks for this.

    One thing I would like to know is what happened with that supposed donation Tyson was planning to make from his Wilder purse. He said things to the effect of planning to donate the purse to homeless charities. Do you know if that happened?

    I saw Tyson answer an interview question about this the other day saying he doesn't like to brag about any charity work he does, which is something I agree with. It's a bit different though if he makes such claims before the Wilder fight and then appears to have reneged on them. Do you know the truth there?

    I do know he donates to various charities and that is a fact.

    However it isn’t millions

    Just something that popped into my head.

    One of the toughest, roughest (in a professional way) spars I have seen tyson in was with a guy called kem Ljungquist.

    That guy had chin and some engine, especially for a novice. Really nice guy too

    Severe bacterial sinitus infection following c.ocaine and alcohol binges

    It’s much better now though, and he won’t mind me saying this. It’s public knowledge

    @Eggman thanks for all that very interesting insight. He doesn't seem very fond of the scouser boxers haha.

    Who do you reckon Fury would say was his toughest opponent?

    And what really went down when he pulled out of the fight when Ustinov showed up in shape and he freaked out?

    Although he would probably say wilder now.

    Regarding Ustinov, he did have a family incident, but he didn’t expect Ustinov to show up in condition. It was a fight he didn’t need.
