Dear oh dear. I guess the fact that Fury hadn't fought anyone with a pulse in 3 years, was totally inactive for 2.5 years, abused the hell out of his body with industrial quantities of alcohol, drugs and junk food all throughout his inactivity, ballooned up to over 400lbs and had to shed 140lbs of it back off, and had been battling depression/mental illness, suicidal thoughts, came close to topping himself, and looked like garbage in his 2 tune ups against scrubs wasn't enough advantage for them for their cherry pick that backfired big time?

And now this on top of all that?

But it gets even worse. Donkey needed even more advantages over this drug-ravaged inactive shell of Fury. He had his spies in Fury's camp relaying information back to him as well.

'It’s unusual to hear of a boxer leaving a training camp at high altitude in order to find somewhere a little easier on the lungs, but that’s exactly what Tyson Fury has chosen to do, switching from Big Bear to the Wild Card, ahead of his December 1 WBC world heavyweight title fight against Deontay Wilder.

Fury and his coach, Ben Davison, will no doubt have their reasons for doing so. Perhaps, in their view, the altitude training they did do was sufficient – job done – and relocating was the wise choice as training camp started to wind down. Perhaps a change of scenery was required.

Opponent Wilder, however, sees – or should that be hears? – only negatives.

“He could not handle the heat and the altitude,” the 33-year-old American said. “He was so high up over there that he could not breathe.

“I have trained in Colorado and it’s similar, you cannot breathe up there. I lived, ran and sparred up there and it was hard when you are not used to it.

“That is why he has had to come down to sea level to have the best chance in this fight. Just being up there for two weeks isn’t going to be enough time to prepare for me. Either you have stamina, or you don’t.

“Most guys go to Big Bear to get their lungs to expand so that when they go back down to sea level they can breathe differently.”

Given the vast distance separating the two heavyweights, it’s surprising to hear Wilder knows so much about Fury’s whereabouts and the decisions behind moving from one location to another.

Then again, mind games and machinations are by now as synonymous with heavyweight boxing as knockouts and muffin tops.

“It’s funny, everything he has done or is doing, I have known about,” admitted Wilder. “He is in my country. I have eyes and ears everywhere.

“I have friends all over the world and when people love you, they love you and they go all the way for you.

“Once you connect with one person, they help you connect with others. Then you just have to wait for a phone call.”
