    I havent praised Fury,I've just said if he beat 3/4 Ring ranked top contenders as you asked he would have done better than Vitali,who never did!
    Dont talk about guts you big fanny, you bailed out of fighting a 64 years old man.You have as much guts as you have honour, and honesty,none whatsoever!

    Wrong, Fury tried to box for Ireland, but they denied him as they could not find any Irish ancestry

    So if any English person spends a lot of time in Jamaica then they`ll be considered Jamaican then? What about all ex pat`s in Spain or Dubai? Lewis does not have a Jamaican accent where the hell is he going to get a Jamaican accent from a lot of street kids in London have slight Jamaican acents but Lewis has a Canadian accent.

    Fury is of Irish Traveller descent. His paternal grandfather was from Tuam, which is also the birthplace of his father. The Furys are ultimately of Gaelic origin, deriving their present surname from Ó Fiodhabhra. Fury's maternal grandmother is from County Tipperary and his mother was born in Belfast. Despite strongly identifying with his Irish heritage, Fury has had problems in gaining dual citizenship because his father's birth in County Galway was not recorded civilly in the 1960s, as Irish Travellers at the time only recorded births through baptism with the church rather than officially with the state.

    As an amateur, Fury represented both England and Ireland. Fury represented Ireland three times at international level. He was based at of the Holy Family Boxing Club in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and later switched to the Smithboro Club in County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland. In a double international match against an experienced Polish team in 2007, the Irish team lost 12–6 overall; Fury, however, was victorious in both his fights in Rzeszów and Białystok. In another Irish match against the US, Fury won his bout by knockout.

    Ghul doesn`t care about guts cause he thinks Akinwande had guts in the ring like Fury has displayed.
