    I've just finished watching this on YouTube.

    Fury didn't look happy to me. He seemed quite downbeat and when he smiled, it didn't appear genuine.

    I hope he isn't struggling badly with the comparatively quiet life after the fight and that there aren't problems ahead for him.

    Sly dig at Haye there with the toe comment.

    As for the interview it was fine- you have to remember even live tv is scripted to an extent. He was on there selling the last episode of the ITV show and not talking boxing in depth like he usually does with media.

    I've seen him on This Morning and similar programmes before.

    His demeanour here was different.

    I hope I'm wrong.

    Probably wanted a lie in. I mean who wants to be up at the crack of dawn to go on this morning?

    LOL and he's hardly gonna start calling out fighters and trash talking opponents on a show like that.

    Responses from people who've actually read what I've written would be greatly appreciated.

    He did seem a bit subdued. Personally I think it's just down to him being on his best behaviour because of the type of show he was on. He's very media and self aware of how he comes across these days IMO.

    He probably just wants to spend some time with the wife and family. Who the **** wants to talk to Phil and Holly at the crack of dawn?

    I thought he warmed into it, looked a bit tired and you could see the bags under his eyes. He described it as an anticlimax, which is understandable but as the interview went on he seemed far more comfortable.

    Was waiting for Phil to ask what he thinks of homosexuality now...

    I did think this too - his demeanour was different. But as Paris touched on, perhaps that's because they caught him on one of his bad days.

    When he climbed the mountain against Wlad it was downhill from there because everything he'd set out to achieve was done.

    He then fell off the wagon but eventually came back with the aim, drive and hunger to beat Wilder and become world champion again.... winning the WBC that was the one belt he's never owned.

    Now he's done that, I just hope he can stay on the right track and keep his mind straight because there's so much more his talent can achieve.

    He’s bipolar. If you know someone with Bipolar you’d see this is pretty normal. With a big high (Wilder win) come a big low which is the point he is at now. I think people sometimes people forget Fury has a genuinely diagnosed medical condition.

    Obviously Fury otherwise he wouldn't of gone on the show.
