    It's a nickname, Sugar Hill is a district in Detroit.

    Fair enough. Added his own surname though. I know it's his uncles but still.

    Bud you know your boxing and are a good poster, but Sugar is very well respected and I think you are being unfair.

    He has forgotten more about boxing when he was working with and living with his legendary uncle than the likes the Ben Davidson will ever learn. Levels.

    Yes, fair enough (and thanks for the kind words) - didn't intend any ill comments on Steward, there's clearly mutual respect with him and Fury so I was trying to figure out who's really in charge. Did Fury pick a style and get Steward to hone it, or did Fury just put himself into Kronk and let them figure it out? Eitherway (minus Ngannou) it clearly paid off.

    Maybe it's just that mutual respect between Fury and Steward blurring the lines for us watching it from the outside.

    Story goes that back in the day Fury took a flight to Detroit and turned up unannounced asking for Manny Steward lol.

    That's where his Kronk relationship started. If you survive in that gym, you are tough and skilful.

    If Tyson gets the victory that would be two stewards twenty five years apart who've achieved undisputed.

    I think sugar hill knows the game. Hes actually similar to fury in that he sometimes acts like hes more clueless than he is. Probably because they know how good they are and therefore dont need to show it to everyone.

    Cant really fail to spend the time sugar did with emmanual and not learn loads.

    Sugar said he was retiring after Wilder-Fury 2 so he’s similar to Tyson in the talking bollocks department too.

    The vast majority of these trainers are made by the fighters more than the other way round, and most of them outside of self-proclaimed gurus like Boxercise are willing to admit that. I'd take a guy like Julian McGowan over a friend to the stars like Davison. Don't know much about 'Sugar' Hill, but I always felt like Andy Lee was the real brains behind the Fury camp over the last few years.

    I know Julian. He's into boxing. And has been for a long time. Has a lot of knowledge.

    The lengths that ogre will go to in order to feed his ego are unbelievable.

    One of the most shameless narcissists I've ever seen in my life.
