I hope that is inaccurate and Roach is not the cut man. He has Parkinson’s ffs need a steady hand for cuts. Although I don’t anticipate cuts being a factor in this fight.
Just brings me back to Eubank Jr against Groves when Sanigar, who also suffers from shaky hands, didn’t do the best job of closing Young Christopher’s cut.
Maybe Ben could help? I know its not ideal but one concern I had is that although Fury is a far better boxer, Davison was seriously outgunned in experience by Breland and co on the other side. Roach is a second pair of eyes with massive experience and the chance to tap into that far outweighs the downside. Or that's how I see it, egg on my face if cuts become an issue and blood on Tyson's!
Doubt Roach will be a cutsman at all, but as one or two others said another astute pair of eyes to offer insight and add experience. Not a bad added marketing spin too for the US market to sell some extra PPVs.
You can basically go buy a machine gun legally in America and go on a mass killing spree, which is what these nutjob yanks do and nothing gets done... Yet John Fury is not allowed in because he has a criminal record for beating somebody up!!!
I think he will have his brother Shane, Freddie Roach, Ricky Hatton and of course Ben Davison in his corner on fight night
Roach also bit someones eyeball out in a streetfight, not sure what the connection is, but there's definitely something there
We desperately need Kugan to go to Manchester and get an interview out of Big John on the decision to deny him the visa. No doubt he'll go on a 10-minute rant accusing Donald Trump of conspiring against his gypsy heritage to keep the title away from Tyson. Throwback to this amazing moment when Big John Fury challenged Lennox Lewis out of the blue and claimed that he outsmarted the Ukrainian President and that Piers Brosnan had been on the phone wanting to speak to Tyson.

Don't think not having BJ Fury in his corner hurts him as much of not having Peter there. I do think it's strange for people to have issues with this though. I know the US has a whole lot of flaws, but this is one thing I agree with.
If its true that Trump wants to meet Tyson, maybe he could put a word in and get Big John's US Travel ban overturned!
