    ...how about putting it on the undercard of a Tyson Fury fight?

    I have always been very moved at the story of how John Fury named his son "Tyson" because the doctors said that he wasn't going to make it, and John told them that he was and that he was naming his boy after the champ. I think it would be great to see the two Tysons together. I think people would love this.

    Mind you, just exhibition. Maybe against Danny Williams, who is lobbying for it.

    It’s pretty epic that you name your son after the heavyweight champ and your son becomes the heavyweight champ

    No wonder big John feel as though he’s mastered the universe.

    Yeah...at the moment the doctors told him that his son had no chance to live, he predicted that his son would grow up and be the champ.

    Just crazy.

    Should be inducted into the boxing HOF by proxy.

    John is a big man himself so his offspring would all have been naturally big anyway and all heavyweights.

    He had genetics on his side.

    John Fury needs to stop, it’s about Tyson Fury not him. He’s coming off as one of those parents who is trying to steal the thunder of there famous kid.

    They are a package deal. And insofar as their show is part comedy, John adds to the laughter.

    And the old Gypsy is useful because there is no doubt that he actually scares Eddie Hearn, as well as others. I wouldn't **** him off an risk losing and eye.
