    He will get fatter and fatter ,that is a given, but fade away? Not while there is one microphone or social media screen left. He has the same addiction to celebrity as that knob Chris Eubanks Snr

    What has Wlad-Joshua got to do with it? The only relevance I see is that it's an eliminator to perhaps challenge Fury if he comes back, or an eliminator towards finding a successor.

    Fury is champion, that's the point. I don't know how much money Fury will make. I guess if he comes back to fight the winner of Wlad-Joshua that would be a huge fight.
    I don't really think the money potential is relevant though. Fury's the champion. No one can take that away from him. It's not a popularity contest, it's boxing. Every boxer is aware of the situation. While Fury is sitting around 25-0 and saying he'll be back next year, there's nothing anyone can do. The championship remains with him.

    They all do.
    Haye and Joshua are even worse for it in this country.

    Hope he somehow loses every penny he earned and has to go out selling carpets to make a living

    The thing with Tyson Fury.... he's not de pressed with the ion just because he wants to do drugs.. just because you wanna do something that makes you feel better.. doesn't mean depression..

    That's why they should at least legalise cannabis.. it's not a PED.. and might as well legalise PEDs in all non fighting sports.. Ben Johnson didn't cheat in my eyes..

    Some restrictions are just plain ridiculous.. Povetkin didn't cheat cheat.. he took it in 2015 and something that's a medicine back to normal health.. it's not a PED.. it's a medicine for a dis-ease..


    Like Sharapova etc.. won all those titles with it.. legally..

    Fury like Ali has relinquished his title, he is now an ex champ.I commend him for his straight forward action.When Jeffries,Tunney,Louis, Marciano , retired did they remain champion? Of course not

    No he earned his £££, I hope he keeps the bulk of it,but unless he spunks it away, I have doubts he will be back in a ring any time soon.

    I don't see Joshua popping up all over the place talking b*llocks and dressing in Batman suits, but then I don't go on Twitter.Haye has done his £££ and is now conning the gullible casual fans ,his defences were ridiculous farces and his non effort against Wlad lost me ,he is just trying to cash in with a big pay day,then retire again I couldn't give a good f*ck what he does now

    I think gluttony is a year round occupation for Fury.

    I think it is clear to anyone with half a brain he vacated before he was striped, lost his license and banned for multiple cases of drug and PED use. To make him any kind of 'Champion in recess' would be truly criminal.

    Just as I thought, he has now been suspended by BBBC.

    The British Boxing Board of control confirmed his licence was suspended "pending further investigation into anti-doping and medical issues."

    The amount of Estrogen on display here is quite comical considering this is a boxing forum, the bitchiness and jealousy is off the charts! Most of you need to go an wash your vaginoes!

    I hope the champ gets himself healthy and in the right frame of mind and then we will see if he want's to come back. Good luck to him.
