    Sounds to me like the whole medically /mentally unfit is a bunch of BS


    Tyson Fury just don't want to fight and has no professionalism, discipline or focus

    There's a difference in being "mentally unfit" and lacking a professional outlook on your career

    I get the hate thing and lack of respect I totally do. But heres the thing. You cant go your whole career (In the limelight) Being a disrespectful **** and then cry when you're on the receiving end. Fury wants to have his cake and eat it, figuratively and literally judging by the pics.....

    It kind of makes you appreciate what Muhammad Ali did.

    If he doesn't want to do it anymore, then just vacate.

    It makes you appreciate what Deontay Wilder has done. He's made four successful title defenses after winning the title LAST YEAR, despite the fact that he's broken his right hand TWICE and his mandatory got cancelled after Povetkin popped a drug test.

    Wilder could have SIX defenses by now if his hands hadn't been broken or Povetkin showed up.

    Tyson Fury will never make four successful title defenses. He couldn't even finish camp for his first defense. And all he suffered was a twisted ankle and people "being mean" to him.

    Who knows if Joshua will make it to four defenses. The majority of heavyweight champs in history never did.

    Why the hell did they do the press conference two weeks ago. They clearly knew he wasn't ready.

    The guy sounds depressed but he needs to be stripped.

    If he's genuinely depressed then he's done the right thing by pulling out of the fight and seeking help. The whole "I don't get no respect" thing doesn't wash though, he used the platform of the HW title to express some very extreme views which brought dislike and disrespect upon him.
    You can't behave like a clown then complain that no one takes you seriously!

    Yeah this isn't s fighter who has serious mental problems. This is a fighter who just lost all motivation and doesn't want to fight.

    He has to get stripped of all titles.

    Exactly. In today's world you have to behave a certain way if you want to reap the awards. Tyson could of played the game and kept certain views to himself but decided not to and because of that even though he was HW champion blue chip endorsements stayed away.

    He can't complain about that as companies can't associate themselves with someone who is such a PR disaster.

    Fury made himself a target for the media.

    If what Peter Fury is saying is close to the truth I doubt we'll see Tyson Fury in the ring again.

    But...we are talking about Tyson Fury...and who would ever know with this guy?

    How much did Fury get paid for the first fight?

    Peter mentioned that firstly Fury hasn't been able to secure himself financially and Secondly the rematch was worth £5-6 mil for Fury which to me seems pretty low.

    I am shocked that team fury have no idea why the big endorsement deals have not come his way.

    They really do need to hire PR agency to change his image

    I think he might be bipolar.
