    And he still beat him

    Proof:

    And i'm pretty sure in October 2015 a few weeks out from the Wlad fight he was off his face also.

    So that's two of his best performances and he wasn't even 100%.

    How can anyone compete with this man?

    Seems to be a loophole drug because the testing agencies never seem to flag it.

    Coke & Weed shouldn't be prohibited.

    Not sure this is proof. Sure, some may think he comes across under the influence but my read of it is that he spent so long under the influence that he retains some of the tics and mannerisms of one who is so.

    I can understand cocaine enhancing your performance in the ring, but pot?

    Pot helps some people focus and react. When I played football I played with a guy named Stevie Johnson who ended up playing in the NFL and making a couple of pro bowls. He smoked a little bit of weed before every game. He swore by it

    I think it's required if you're named Tyson

    The day before he fought Wallin he was interviewed when he was having his dinner. Iirc he said that the night before Wilder 1 he had 4 pints of lager. Claims that for a 19stone guy that has little effect on him, and talked about the old school fighters who would have shots of whiskey between rounds.

    He was drinking Diet Coke in that interview also, and was questioned about whether he thinks the chemicals in it are bad for him but he dismissed it and said it’s just a non sugar soda.

    That obviously wasn’t his best camp, he apparently overtrained with Ben and his team, and ended up going life and death with unknown Wallin.

    You can tell Fury subscribes to the traditional way of doing things, enjoys himself with a bit of weed, Coke or a few beers when he feels like it.

    If he were to get complacent like that against Whyte or Joshua they could punish him and hand him his first L. Doubt he will underestimate them though.

    Cocaine is hugely performance enhancing

    If he does drugs he'll get KTFOed soon. Boxing is a dangerous sport.

    Where's your evidence?? Wilder got banged from pillar to post by a clean athlete. Just can't accept it because he's a white man. That's the truth

    Nothing wrong with a little coke. What destroys your body is the alcohol that usually goes with it, the lack of sleep, the binge eating, the come down pills they take. A bump before an interview is okay.

    hmm... and here I thought it only made you better at video games and listening to music. Seriously though, I can definitely see the focus aspect....

    As long as you don’t abuse the drug on a regular basis leading up to fights then it shouldn’t affect your performance. Every now and then won’t hurt him.

    Well he did get knocked out but was giving a long count that saved him.
