    Joseph Parker's ex trainer claimed Parker has “never threw a punch outside of the ring from anger in his entire life.” He said that was the difference between him and a guy like Dillian Whyte in terms of fight mentality.

    Is it though? I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't, sure he talks about how he will go bareknuckle with boxers out the ring and this and that but he probably got by growing up based on his size and reputation of family. He wouldn't even jump over the guard rail to defend Billy Joe Saunders' father.

    I don't think he's cut from the same cloth as guys like Dillian Whyte, Dereck Chisora, David Haye or even Usyk, that's not a bad thing though.

    I just feel it’s nearly impossible to not have been in a fight being a gipsy and growing up in that family he has (most older men have been in jail), especially with that mouth he has. Seems like Fury have no record at the Police though so maybe.

    I know one that used to get into loads of street fights and that's Nigel Benn

    He was a squaddie and stationed a few miles were I'm from as young lad

    Not to anyone's surprise, he was very handy with his fists, or so I have been told

    You can see it in his fighting style
