    Now I'm just waiting for someone to come with the "but it's different for Fury, because he's bipolar".

    Fury and his furboys acted like right nobheads for years and now we're supposed to respect him? Nah, eff that. He did good in the Usyk fight but so did Joshua and even Chisora and they didn't nearly get knocked out.

    I'll give Fury respect when he starts showing some of his own, and not making disgusting excuses about the Uke war for his loss.

    Fury made his own bed, now he gets to lay in it.

    Fury was still suffering ring rust. No where near enough activity against top level fighters and didn't even bother training.

    Chisora and Whyte were sparring matches. Ngannou was his first real fight since Wilder 3.

    Hopefully Fury continues to train, and learns from this fight.

    At the post fight presser Frank Warren referenced Fury’s comments re the war in Ukraine and his belief that it swayed the judges.

    Warren played that off as a heat of the moment comment that should be treated as such and insisted that Fury be treated with due respect.

    So, basically , Warren asked that Fury be respected for Fury’s own, total lack of respect.

    And if we thought Warrens words were at least some sort of lead in for an actual retraction and apology from Fury, you know, after allowing sufficient time to reflect...well, no dice.

    Fury clearly didn’t apologise nor regret what he said. Fury has also said that he doesn’t care about legacy or what other people think.

    So really, where is the argument for showing Fury respect?...he doesn’t show it and claims he doesn’t care if it comes his way or not....

    Yeah, and Fury fans was making a huge buss out of AJ post fight reaction, which was terrible, bot i don't see any of them slamming Fury for his own.
    At least AJ wasn't delusional and didn't say he though he won by 4-5 rounds lol, and at least he didn't wish Happy New Year in May ....
    And at least AJ apology straight after the fight, and lately to Usyk as well.
    Hell even John Fury didn't apology, and was still making excuses for his headbutt.

    Tyson Fury is the last active fighter that should expect respect.
