    Is it definitely Sugar Hill?

    Forgive me lads I don't know a lot about him apart from that he's related to the late Manny Steward. I see he's worked with a few decent fighters including Chagaev, Stevenson and Anthony Dirrell.

    What's the opinions on him?

    he could get that Spanish Mexican Cuban type kid who masterminded young CHRIS’s schooling and retirement of toothless James degale?

    This mean we get to see fury in the iconic yellow Kronk shorts.

    The performance against Wallin was not down to Ben D completely. But he was terrible technically. He was doing things in the ring that he should never be doing given his lack of punching power on the inside and his skills as a boxer on the outside. He has power punching on the outside not on the inside. He played into Wallins hands.

    I'm a Tottenham fan and I can categorically say that mentioning AVB does not support your argument!

    In any case, Hodgson and Rodgers both played football professionally.

    Fury's recent fights have been in the US but he is not based there.

    He spends most of his time in the UK.

    But *he keeps saying he has 3 fights left; Wilder, and then another American and then a.n. other, so the next 2 are confirmed US based fights, which means Peter or John cannot realistically train him.

    * Disclaimer - he does say a lot of things.

    I don't think there's any PC issue in what you've said.

    After what he's been through, I think Fury will always be mentally fragile and trying to ensure he does not fall back into bad habits is probably an everyday objective.

    I think this may be harder when he is meant to be preparing for what he considers to be an easy fight but as long as he is regularly working out then I think he'll stay on the right path.

    Same as this there's not a hope in hell he got 15%, that's the only reason Tyson and Billy Joe went near him in the first place. Davison was never calling the shots. Mind you he did a decent job

    The signs have been there for some time, but with Wilder supposedly being set in stone but not yet confirmed and now the split with Ben, Tyson feels like a mess right now.

    I'm not disputing that.

    I'm saying he's not based in the US because he spends most of his time in the UK.

    But he's contracted to fight over there, so anyone taking him forward has to be allowed over there.

    One thing Ben certainly helped sustain was Tyson's mental health. Hopefully Tyson doesn't fall into old habits without him on board.
