    Do we think this is just a gimmick? Parker is kind of on the Fury gravy train in terms of being a sparing parter and apparently on standby..

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/b...Dillian-Whyte-camp-reveals-Joseph-Parker.html

    He has fought a full fight as a lefties before against Rogan, but no disrespect to big Martin, Whyte is a better fighter.

    Seems a bit of a unrequired risk to me. I know we all talk about Whyte's hook but he can hit with his right as well.

    Parker most definitely wasn’t lined up as a standby. If Tyson’s lips are moving, assume he’s lying.

    I expect him to switch it up during the fight. I have confidence in Sugar and Tyson that’ll they change things up quick enough if things aren’t working.

    Possibly be a good idea to go southpaw
    Will help to avoid the left hook

    If fury fights southpaw it means whyte will find it difficult to land his best shot the left hook

    At one point, a lot of his lying was simply to wind people up, but now I think that his ego is so enormous that he has generally mutated into a compulsive liar. The retirement talk is not even wind-up talk, at this point. He genuinely gets a bit annoyed when people laugh and tell him that he won't retire. Almost everything that comes out of his mouth is nonsense.

    Are you talking about Fury or Boris Johnson?

    Exactly. Plus he would be hitting Whyte with harder jabs.
