    I seen Tyson Fury has agreed to pay Mick £1.5m in an out of court settlement. I am glad about this. Even though I am a big fan of Furys I think Mick deserves it for everything he done for him, non more so than spending nearly everyday over a 2 year period fighting to get his boxing license returned.

    It has a good ending. Mick whilst not been the best at promoting fighters dos seem like a really nice guy who is very loyal to those he considers friends.

    This is good news for Mick to get it finally resolved. Wish him all the best with his two cards coming up when they are rescheduled.

    Since Fury is on speaking terms with Haye - has he talk to uncle and cousin yet?

    Agree mate. He played a key role in developing Tyson, Froch and Barker. He stumped up his lot to get Hughie a world title fight. Glad to see Hughie rewarded him by keeping Mick on as his manager (and Mick was happy to step aside as promoter in Hughies best interests).

    I believe he had 2 fights left with Mick. Couple of media outlets reported it mate. Tyson properly knows Mick deserved the money.

    That'll sort out Mick's breakfast bill for a couple of weeks.

    In all seriousness that's some great news to read. I always admired their relationship and Mick deserves it for steering Wlad to a world title.

    Mick is a proper boxing man who gets too much stick just because he is fat.

    Good man. When you hear he was looking at losing his house over the hughie parker fight, it's great to hear hes had some luck.
    Hughie could have won that and it would have changed his misfortunes a lot IMO
