    Tyson needs to stop ****ing around with his career, and more importantly his health.

    I've been following him for a few years now, and the guy yoyo diets like crazy, something that is very hard on the body and on the heart. He needs to get down to a healthy weight and maintain it year round. He can still probably eat anything he wants but he has to put the work in the weight room, and if you've ever seen fury camp training on youtube , you'd know that he is half assing it, so much so that it's pretty cringeworthy to watch.

    His camp consists of him jogging like an old lady, seizuring about with a 5 pound dumbell, an doing half reps of pushups

    I was shocked to see a successful pro fighter train like that

    how many stories have you heard about Wlad gaining 50 pounds in between fights?
    NONE. thats why he has been the champion for so long. professionals stay in shape all year around. its called discipline .

    So true! I can't beleive that this is a professional boxer's training. I train harder than that 5 times a week to stay in shape while not being a boxer and being 10 years older than Tyson. He needs a different trainer and conditioning coach and a normal frickin' gym.

    You are so damn right :yep

    The footage from the training camp is so ridiculous that I am just hoping it is some sort of joke or performance. This is not how you train for a world level :nono

    Even Tyson thinks he might get upset tomorrow, towards the end of this video when Kugan asks him for a prediction of the fight, he says he might get knocked out in a stern no bs voice. No sarcasm, no joking, no smiling, nothing, he straight up admits he might be kayoed

    YES!!! My eyes are bad but I just can't see that Fury has EVER come in the ring in particularly bad condition.Hes not Brad Pitt but I don't think he can fight as good as Fury.Fury is 6 foot nine.Your reference to the Mc Dermott fight is a good one also.He fights well in the late rounds.Like against Chisora and Cunningham.I think he could be trying to kid a few people.It wouldn't be out of character.Wouldnt be too vain to take his shirt off,either.Hell have to on Saturday.Maybe not pre Haye condition,but not obese either.Anyhow,I think he wins by knockout before the 5th.

    PS.For the people who talk about how a heavyweight looks,I usually refer them to Bruno/Witherspoon.

    I think its a joke. He wore a heavy sweater, maybe concealed some stuff underneath to pump up his weight. Seems like a Fury thing to do, we'll find out tomorrow.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he took his shirt off Saturday and surprised a few posters on this thread,knocks Abell out in 4 or 5 rounds and then tells everybody what he put in his pockets and under his shirt to kid them.It would be just like him.I have also heard him talk about being knocked out before.Peter often says any heavyweight can be knocked out,also.Its just the way they talk,and its true.He sounded as confident and as *******s as ever to me.

    He is way overrated, weak dirty puncher, with a weak chin....How many opponents has he had WHO is around his own size or age....Nuff said.

    He will soon be exposed.

    What kind of joke is it though? There's no reason for him to do that.

    This is one thing that I'm wondering myself. In the vid interview with Cougan he looks lean enough...so this may all be a joke on the public / and a mind game to play on Abell...but we'll all soon know for sure. If it isn't I think there's a real danger for him to get KO'd. I've just watched the fight he had with Pulev and he's the kind of fighter that is dangerous for sure. Fury has a very suspect chin and he's now in with a banger. Now Abell might only last 3 rounds or so..but for that time he's gonna be swinging and if one lands its goodbye Fury. If he can keep Abell at range and wear him down I see it going mid to late with Fury winning. But if he's really as fat as the scales indicate then it might be a short night and a who lands first type fight. Fury's chin definitely concerns me here tho in that kind of a fight.

    If Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham, neither big punchers at HW, can put Fury down, then Abell certainly is capable of it.

    If Fury has any brains and saw the Pulev fight, he'll go hard to Abell's body right away and that should win him the fight.
