    I think he's right in that instance.

    As for other stuff he said from years ago, I don't think he ought to lose his job over it so long as he issues a sincere apology given that he would have basically been a kid. People educate themselves and change their opinions pretty quickly

    I agree with this to be fair. Said on a different post can actually see Fury finding it rather amusing on his insult.

    I would say for any wannabe boxing journalist, to not spend a night going through every previous tweet is naive. As someone is always going to take pride in knocking you over. Is an unfortunate fact

    I meant more the Hillsborough stuff specifically. You're right RE Fury, he wouldn't care in the slightest.

    If you're going to be a journo type you're likely just best off making a new account entirely.

    Fowler is such an attention seeking tosser. Just saying that for the pats on the back he'll receive from his followers. No other reason.

    Kugan will sack him if he gets pressured to by the scousers. I imagine Tony "Put them on the chair, publicly stone them" Bellew will have been in touch to apply pressure. Fowler, Price, the Smiths, RDJr... there's a lot of viewership from Liverpool and pressure coming in from MTK Liverpool. Umar called them bin dippers and they won't like it. He's toast.

    As others say, he's a fool for not covering his tracks before he became "big time". Had the best job where he literally jets around everywhere to watch boxing.

    See if I ever get a job in the public domain or some sort of job with a crazy salary I'm deleting EVERYTHING. I don't even have social media really but every single forum account is getting rinsed lmfao.

    Some awful spelling within those tweets.

    I am not a fan of Fowler nor Liverpool FC (TeamFitz, TeamPreston) but on this issue, I back him.

    Funny MTK putting pressure on someone to get sacked over tweets. MTK owned by the biggest drug cartel this side of the Atlantic

    The Liverpool stuff is what he'll get accosted for. Shame for the lad, had a great job gone because of his past actions. Lesson for us all there.

    Fowler boycotting IFL is a bigger loss to him than it is IFL and probably the same with a lot of the scouse fighters. Bellew it was probably the opposite way round in his peak but he has retired now. Can't see him boycotting IFL regardless, him and Kugan go too far back.

    Are a lot of Scousers not bin dippers then? Is it an unfair name and stereotype? Liverpool fans travel and stole for years, everyone knows that, my girlfriends stepdad used to work on the doors of a pub that was for away fans, he had the odd scuffle, the odd flare up but on the whole it was alright........except every single f**king time those scallies came down, "the only fans I've seen bring in a screwdriver to try and steal things from the pub!" Literally unscrewing fixtures to try and steal. I don't want to get caught up on Hillsborough but no other away fans ever died there, the policing was awful, terrible and it's horrendous what happened but that's what happens when you don't behave in situations like that, people get hurt, innocent people....then, of course, there was Heysel a few years earlier.....
