So his 'legends' exhibition fight is to champion mental health? I take it he's not doing it for the money then? I'd much rather him be honest and say, I'm doing it for one last payday.
I'd imagine it's the following That night against Kostya Tszyu When I beat Ben Tackeh I'm just a regular bloke me Citeh Joe Cortez I were winning that second round against Pacquiao by a country mile Same move every time I said maybeeeee
Tyson Fury has a Mental Health Champion rival. The thing about that gets me with boxing and mental health is that a lot of these guys do and say extreme things to try and get into their opponents head, to make try and break into their minds and raise some doubts, make them feel anxious, possibly make them unable to focus and potentially become depressed etc. It's a bit rich of them to then play the mental health card. The likes of Golovkin, Bivol, Usyk, they've all been strictly business, no trash talking, just getting through pressers like gentleman really and then doing the job in the ring, they get into opposition heads by doing the business whenever they fight.
There should be a mental health prizefighter for the sole rights to ever “champion” mental health in boxing. Tony Bellew Dave Allen Ricky Hatton Shannon Courtenay Tyson Fury Ryan Garcia Winner becomes official world men’al ‘elf champion.
Hatton was my favourite fighter 15 years ago, I say with a heavy heart he’s been a disaster since retiring. Lifetime of alcoholism has caught up with him and in his early forties he looks in his late sixties. Man needs to seek help to get off the demon booze otherwise the future looks hella bleak for the hitman. This exhibition against a fat old midget Barrera has all the hallmarks of an absolute farce. Hatton has been making noise about keeping the weight off this time but how much does he really want it? Intervention needed surely. God speed hitman.
