    Fury was trained in the uk.

    A couple of camps in the US dint make him a US trained fighter. Sugar hill might have added 1% to his game but the rest was peter fury.

    Your original quote claimed that Deontay Wilder was trained in America by Americans and I'm simply claiming so was Fury. To say otherwise is completely false.

    Yes this is correct. Excellent example was yesterday the Salas prepared Joyce and tactics against the Bowers prepared Dubois.

    Always? I think you’re misremembering a certain 96-year period where the UK went beltless and was irrelevant at heavyweight lol

    Fitzsimmons lost title= 1899
    Bruno won title= 1995

    It’s not the training it’s the Chins. The UK has a Monopoly on Glass Jawed hype jobs. Always have and always will.

    The USA doesn't have a takeaway anywhere near as good as Imran's. When Kell goes into blimpy mode, it's because he can be found at Imran's eating a chicken fillet burger and chips meal.

    Yet the UK are in a different world when it comes to producing top boxers compared to your country Nigeria who are terrible, have a population of 200 million and couldn't be any worse at boxinf.

    Even though the sport of boxing ranks extremely lowly in terms of a participant sport among the miniscule population of the tiny island of Great Britain, somehow we're able to completely dominate it's glamour division with an iron fist.

    The only people who box over here are the pros you see on TV or the 100 or so amateurs we have who coincidentally are also one of the top 3 most dominant forces in the unpaid ranks. We Brits don't punch above our weight. We punch so far above it that it's akin to Inoue sparking out the entire ranks of the HW division on the same night. Instead of folk getting all bent out of shape and insecure about our dominance why not focus all your energy trying to raise your game so you compete with our second tier on a more equal footing.
