    I really hope it's not Briggs.
    Briggs is a tragic accident asking to happen.

    What a great talker this lad is. Wished they’d stop messing about now and give him his purpose back.
    I think we need to consider that although 25 stone sounds like loads (and it is), he’s 6”9...in relative terms that’s like a 6”0 Super middle having to shift about 3-4 stone. He can shift a couple of stone in over a month he knuckles down.

    Come on, Fury!!!

    Wasn't Shannon Briggs busted for roids unsurprisingly?

    Could agree more. I have always had no doubts he’s not took PEDs, you can hear the anguish and emotion in his voice at being accused of doing so. He’s a character in a half, and what a talent. Never met anyone who had met him that’s not raved at what a lovely guy he is. Cmon Tyson !!

    Seen TF has tweeted that he's shed "another 9lbs" already, he's done this many times, he's a known ballooner between fights.

    Honestly think that if we get a fully fit Tyson Fury back, he would have a field day with AJ as he did with Wladimir. Just throw out his long jab all night and dance around and that's all it takes against a big, slow, slugger like AJ. Wladimir can box and he couldn't deal with it. AJ can't and so I can see nothing but a Fury win (if we get him back to his best).

    AJ isn't gunshy. He isn't going to lose a fight vs someone throwing 10 punches a round.

    Undoubtedly true, but if you're referring to the Klitschko fight with the "10 punches a round" comment, Fury was only trying to do what he required to win the rounds, which that night...was throw very few punches.

    Had Wlad been able to get close enough to him and cut the ring off better and thrown more, Fury would have had more to counter/reply to, and would have done successfully in my opinion.

    Why did klit not throw ? He couldn't be bothered?

    No he's been a dominate champion for a decade and all of sudden he's gunshy. Don' think so. We can see he wasn't over the hill in the AJ fight .

    Facts are he toyed with a better version of klit than AJ did and has had no recognition just excuses from those who refuse to accept Furys top boy

    Great video. I could listen to the man talk boxing all day. Unlike the robotic, pointless, media trained guff Joshua comes out with in interviews. Fury speaks from the heart every time and is honest as the day is long.

    Totally agree.

    The reason there were less punches thrown between Klitschko and Fury than there was with Klitschko-Joshua is down to movement.

    Joshua moves backwards and forwards, limited head movement...he is there to be hit but he fancies himself in an exchange and is willing to take one to land his own.

    Fury’s footwork is exceptional, his head is always moving, he throws feints, he switches stances and is effective in both, he punishes you with the jab.

    If a target is moving all the time and hurts you every time you miss...well, you try to pick your shots more and throw much less as a result. That’s why Klitschko wasn’t pulling the trigger as much.

    Spot on, I've said it a hundred times, I'm sick of pointing it out to the idiots. It's the most obvious of things to anyone who knows anything at all about boxing. Tyson was kryptonite to Wlad. No version of Wlad gets near Tyson. I've a feeling the same could be said about AJ.

    Come on Tyson, get your arse in gear and show the world your greatness.

    Yeah I completely agree, Joshua hasn't fought anyone who will do anything other than stand in front of him either with their high guard or else in Klitschko and Whyte's case, get into exchanges with him.

    We all know Fury won't do that, he'll leave him frustrated and blowing and capitalise on his mistakes, many of which a big slow, slugger like AJ will make against a slick mover like TF
