Abell wasnt that bad; he was a southpaw who could punch a bit, and he was in his prime. This is more similar to Seferi and Pianeta level, worse than Schwarz.
Just seen a vid of Fury telling us about his next fight for charity and asking everyone to dig deep to help the kids of Thailand. Does he think we are all ****ing idiots? There is no way he will be fighting for nothing- just a paltry 2,000 ticket sales will be for charity (even if they end up getting that) If he really cared about the kids in Thailand why isn't he fighting in a bigger arena and then donating all the ticket sales? And if he doesn't think he could shift a lot of tickets fighting such a poor opponent why doesn't he fight an exhibition with someone else instead? They could sell loads of tickets and donate a hell of a lot more money to charity. And an exhibition will be as good a workout as a fight with Wach. Typical Fury move- trying to play the Martyr when he's just a money grabbing bullshitter
It just feels like a cover so they can all fly over and have a week of indulgence. Can’t wait to see Billy Joe knee deep down some dark Soi while Tyson tells us it’s all for the kids. The venue is about a 10 minute walk from where all the action is as well. If he was really over there for training and culture he’d be in Samui. Spencer is good mates with Jason Marriner, who lives out in Pattaya, so it wouldn’t shock me if there are plenty of people rinsing Fury in the background with “expenses” and all sorts. There’s also an established charity in that area with a long history of working with orphans and at-risk kids, and he’s not donating to them. So yeah, it feels like typical Fury nonsense. Charity wrapper on a jolly boys’ outing.
The fight is rubbish ….. but ….. I’d rather watch Tyson fight somebody than nobody. He was never going to fight anybody even half decent with the AJ fight maybe 3-4 months away. Should he not have bothered? Maybe yeah but tbh it’ll be a little bit of entertainment on a Friday evening
Surprised Big John hasn’t rolled up on Brian Jacks and tried to get himself on the undercard. Arguably, that would be more competitive than the main event.
Of all the places you could choose as a training base in Thailand he just happens to pick the worlds biggest red light zone. Blokes go to Pattaya for one reason and one reason only. Especially funny when Fury is supposed to be a happy family man and devout Christian.
I'm sure Tyson is just reading what's handed to him straight to camera anyway. Difference is, back in the day he might have been able to blag it. Pattaya has exploded over the last couple of decades, and not really for the better. I know plenty who retired out there in that golden period when the baht was 70 to the pound, and unless you knew what it was, most people here had barely heard of the place. Now everyone knows what Pattaya is. If you're a bunch of single lads on a boys' holiday then fair enough, it's a good time, no different really to Zante or Magaluf. But don't go there with the happy family man, devout Christian, "for the kids" routine and expect everyone to pretend they don't know what's going on. The bar girls will have a field day and make mincemeat of the rest of them when they all flock out there to watch the fight.
Its sounds more like an exhibition and some padding for his netflix TV show rather than a proper fight.. But I couldnt think of a worse place to go for someone like the Furys they will be into anything and everyone;
