Tyson Fury is in deplorable shape...

You don't know much about the body, he is all of the 40-50+ pounds overweight he says he is and that is just over his normal fight weight (260 pounds) which is still 20 pounds over what he should weigh on fight night. In shape he would be like 240 pounds, also 10 pounds overweight would not change your body shape very much but Fury has a big belly on him right now.

 

Fury is fat even when he is fighting fit. As long as he can go 12 rounds I don't see the issue.

 

Tyson will be the richest traveller in history. He still has 4-5 fights in him at the big time.

 

Why 4-5?

Could be 1. Could be 15.

 

Fury said in a very recent IFL TV interview (one from the last few days) that he's "got 2 and a half stone to shift" so that's 35lbs...to get to his target weight. If he diets and trains hard over 10weeks he should be able to manage that.

 

Fact is Fury benefited from the delay in the first fight it meant he had an extra long training camp which saw him come in at 247lbs which for Fury was his 2nd lowest weight ever.

The delay in making the rematch this time will be detrimental to him though as he hasn't been in training during this delay like the first fight. Fury won't be in the same shape as the first fight, he'll likely be around 260lbs or above like he has been for his other fights in recent years.

Will this effect the outcome, possibly, but unless Wlad has declined more I expect this to be a harder fight for Fury this time around, though I still expect him to win.

Either way we shouldn't expect Fury to have a long career, his weight issues will likely see him decline drastically as he ages. He'll likely be past prime by 30, if not sooner.

 

Fury certainly looks like he's 40. Its good to see his body is also looking like that of a 40 year old.

 

Have you been living on Mars and just beamed down yesterday?

Fury was a lot heavier than that. Wlad rigged the scales.


You might also want to know that Wlad tried to make the canvas as spongy as David Haye's hair but was prevented when Peter Fury spotted it.

 

Even if they made the canvas spongy in Manchester it would not rival Fury's bouncy castle beer gut.

 

Classic! Lovely sense of humour.

 

Big men like him can take the weight of fairly easy. His body burns a lot of calories.

 

His mouth alone must burn a thousand calories a day.

 

He has the body of a Yorkshire pudding but can fight.

Wlad is a body builder who feasts on midgets.

Same result.

 

10 years after they retire Wlad will be about 100 KGs. Fury will be 150KGs.


Fury is by far the naturally bigger man.

 

Vlad is in much better shape looking good Beach ready and all that. Unfortunately for Vlad this is boxing not body building. He was in better condition last time didn't do him much good.
