Every youtube video title for the last five or so years: <Insert moaning title> "I don't have time for this sh**" "He's a f***ing clown" "I don't give a f***" "Promoters are sh**" "It's a load of sh**" "It's all bollocks" "Stop f***ing around" "I'm not a liar who talks bollocks" "My circle is getting smaller, people are clowns" Every youtube comment for the last five or so years: <Insert adulation> "the realest of the Fury's" "The only Fury who talks sense" "Tyson should never have left Peter" "Spot on as always" "Top man is Peter" "Peter is clearly a man of god" "God bless you Peter" "Could listen to Peter talk for hours" "Comes across so well does Peter" "One of the best trainers in the world; Tyson was mad to leave him" "I like how everyone appreciates Peter Fury’s honesty and boxing knowledge" "More of Peter, please" Can someone enlighten me as to why Peter Fury is so adulated? As far as I can see he hasn't done much and has he ever trained someone from scratch? If he was so good surely Hughie Fury would have been able to throw at least one straight hand in the last ten years. Every "straight" right is thrown at a ninety degree angle.
Peter Fury doesn’t get respect for silverware — it’s presence. Calm, measured, cuts through the noise. Especially when the loudest circus act shares his last name. Peter earned respect long before boxing. He never had to fake the hardman act — John did. All bark, all bravado, living through his sons like a helium balloon full of ego. Funny thing is, when Peter was guiding Tyson, John stayed quiet — almost came off sensible. But then came Instafame, and all it did was crank up every worst instinct in him. It didn’t change him — it just exposed what was already there. That said — yeah, Hughie’s still out there looking for his man strength.
You need to say something of substance to cut through the noise. It's the same mundane, moaning stuff and lip service.
Its thanks to people cut of the same cloth as Peter & John Fury that britain conquered half the globe
That’s the problem with YouTube and social media — it’s oversaturated. On any given press day, he’s having the same conversation ten times over. And when you’re on the podcast circuit like he is — like most of them are — it all just becomes noise. Add in his past, which predates boxing, and there’s plenty he can’t say even if he wanted to. And let’s be honest — beyond Hughie and Savannah, he doesn’t really have a stable to speak of. But he still gets clicks — so the grifters keep calling, the questions get louder, and every YouTuber’s circling, hoping for that one bit of clickbait they can chop, title, and farm for views.
You're right. It's definitely oversaturated. It's tedious. Listening to the same stuff over and over has turned me off it. I think Adam Smith is the worst. The man never seems to tire from parroting the same **** over and over. The talk/action ratio in boxing is obviously lopsided, surely more than any other sport.
If Ben Davison or Joe Gallagher had been training the Fury cousins when they both apparently ate their own body weight in Boar meat and failed PED tests because of it, you'd literally never hear the end of it. Because the trainer at the time is a guy who has spent several years in Cat A Prisons for being a drugs kingpin, he's classed as ''a man of the people'' ''real'' and ''salt of the earth.'' The same mindset of certain people that helped local 'Hard Men' like Lenny McClean and Roy Shaw become best-selling 'authors'. A bit embarrassing really.
I think @boxberry92 has nailed it above. If you watch all these channels and see Peter Fury saying the same things again and again then mere familiarity is going to breed contempt, just as the saying has it. I don't watch much if any of those channels so see far less of him, when I do he's usually an interesting watch, in part because, as once again Boxberry points out, the guy has some charisma and presence and that performance in Germany with his nephew remains one of the greatest achievements in British boxing history, doesn't matter how entertaining the fight was etc. They went over there with everything stacked against them and they won the big title. Big respect to Tyson and Peter for that, no matter what kind of circus show that's gone on subsequently.
Exactly. It’s not just fighters and pundits echoing each other — it’s a PR loop for the promoters too. Every retired boxer and media guy has a channel now, and the space is just saturated noise. That’s why cards like tonight’s get missed — too much chatter, not enough focus. Adam Smith could commentate in his sleep, and Barker’s not far off. Boxing’s all foreplay, no fight — and half of them start a podcast before their gloves are dry. Same guests, same recycled takes. Even Peter and Parsons have shows now. Give Dave Allen a little more mic time and he’ll be the next philosopher flooding your feed. I unfollowed most of it ages ago. Kept a handful, but the algo still spams the timeline. These days I just mute and block — otherwise, it’s nothing but static.
