Fury:"I'm soaking my knuckles in gas for 5 minutes a day for Wilder

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-7966413/Tyson-Fury-says-soaking-hands-fuel-toughen-ahead-Deontay-Wilder-rematch.html Tyson Fury has fuelled anticipation for his rematch with Deontay Wilder - literally - after revealing he has started dipping his hands in petrol for five minutes a day to toughen them up. The 'Gypsy King' is working hard ahead of the second bout with WBC champion Wilder as he looks to take his world title belt on February 22, and the heavyweight has been trying a number of new methods to give himself the edge in Las Vegas. He has ditched old trainer Ben Davison in favour of SugarHill Steward and has even claimed to be masturbating seven times a day - but now his preparations have taken another strange turn after he lifted the lid on a new idea to strengthen his fists. Fury promised to knock Wilder out in round two, and he said he had taken advice from bare-knuckle fighter Big Joe Joyce to ensure he hits much harder. 'I was speaking to an old legendary bare-knuckle fighter from the travelling community, he's called Big Joe Joyce,' he said, speaking to journalist Gareth Davies. 'He told me about dipping his hands in petrol, to toughen them up. 'So for this fight I'll be dipping my hands in petrol for five minutes a day during the last three or four weeks of the training camp to really toughen them up. It worked for him, so I'm going to give it a try.' Fury responded by predicting an ambitious stoppage in the second round. The war of words between Fury and Wilder is well underway, with the US fighter mocking the British star for switching trainers and telling him he had 'pillows for fists' and vowing to 'rip his head off'. 'When you have power, there's no way around it,' Wilder said. 'You can't prepare for it. I gave this man a concussion the first time, he doesn't know how he went down or how he got up. 'This is unfinished business that I will finish. I will knock him out. I'm the king of the jungle. I'll rip his head off. I'll knock him through the ropes.' 'You are going to sleep in two rounds. I keep having the same dream about round two. I am playing poker and I get dealt the number two card. He is getting knocked out in round two, 100 per cent.'

That has “I’m gonna float this idea to see if I’m the only one” written all over it ha. Tom Jones says he used to do it in his heyday, before sex, to stop him from getting AIDS... true story Fuk it, I might try it later

Everything gets absorbed through the pours and enters the blood stream not to mention you'd be sitting there inhaling the fumes. I don't believe he's that stupid...at least I hope not.

Is he doing this before he pleasures himself as the other articles have reported? Gas would in theory dampen the hands. Wilder said use the proper lubricant. It’s all making sense now.

Entirely believable but one question though.... does he soak them before or after masturbating 7 times a day?

Like almost all forms of Irish Traveler bare knuckle it's nothing but a misunderstanding of the past. They claim to fight like the oldens, except those rules are easily read and the Travelers don't follow them at all. They claim their techniques are like the old'ens except it's warped all to ****. The nugget of truth here is the old bare knuckle guys used to resin their skin with rosen .... treated tree sap. Jack Dempsey used to do it, that's why he looks like he's an awful tan sometimes. He used to do quite a lot of bare knuckle traditions, soaking, training, fighting. He was hardly a real gloved boxer in terms of technique or practice. Anyway, my point is, no, drying your skin out with gas is just stupid. Firstly, it's not tightening the skin the same manner. the old BK guys are forming callus by allowing hot sticky sap to lightly burn their skin. Hydrocarbons can tighten the skin but all they are doing is releasing water as they evaporate. Who knows how a crew of van dwellers go on to gas. How on god's green earth they think soaking their hands in gas has anything to do with BK era....your know, well prior to gas cars or the ICE, I have no clue, but, there is a nugget of truth. I seriously doubt there is any science for it, but, there is hardly any science in boxing at all. "science" comes from a guy named Mendoza who added fencing techniques to boxing and called it science, which, is why the 'science' of boxing can not explain power.....real science, kinesiology - the study of human mobility, explains power just fine. So, point there is if there is any science to a petrol soak it's not boxing science....it'd be the energy guys who know that. For refinery accidents and stuff like that....surely they know the effects of soaking in their products....or at least the theoretical effects as that is an illegal test to actually test. :lol1: You're not allowed to give people cancer in the name of science. Good breakdown man. Agreed, this basically feels like a shred of real bare knuckle history, wrapped in myth, that somehow got last in translation on the way to the caravan park.

Check the video he basically got the idea from a Juggernaut666 clone with more hair and a mustache. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/bare-knuckle-boxing-legend-big-16800731

Damn, he sounds desperate going to extremes. Who soaks their fists in gasoline when ten ounce gloves will be covering them up? Must be something from the bare knuckle days of the 18 hundreds.

I wish there was a sane sensible person that could tell Tyson hes increasing his chance of cancer tremendously. Oh well I guess he thinks better to die soon than to die today. That right hand is something from the tale of shakazulu. Yoooo yall be cracking me tf up lmao

It should be obvious that it's to have the gas soak into the tissues which damages it horribly but in the process the scar builds into a crust like leather skin. Which is why hes trying to use it to toughen his knuckles. Its the stupidest thing beyond stupid & I've seen Tyson do some stupid sht like 7x a day jerking his gerkin it would damage his entire arm tendons doing that 7x a day everyday esp. a pro 6.7 foot boxer. Likewise gas is as toxic as it gets & can actually derail his entire career & life let alone the fight. This is yet another one of Tysons "you better be lying about this otherwise you one dumb fck" Sounds similar to the tale that Bruce Lee would launch his fists into buckets of rock and pebbles to toughen the skin.

Gasoline soaked hands and furious whacking sessions multiple times a day... One day that friction is going to ignite the whole works on fire.

Damn_Wicked

Fury mentioned how he's been wacking off 7 times a day. Most of us are thinking, "Won't that drain you? How da F@ck will that give you energy?" ....But Fury's secret is that he's doing a Juan Manuel Marquez ...He's been drinking his jizz. He's putting every drop back into his body. The guy is a fricken genius! On fight night Wilder is gonna hit Fury so hard that Fury is gonna explode all over Wilder. Wilder's gonna run, screaming out of the ring ...out of the arena, and Fury will win by default.

Tyson must be off his meds again. Then again he acted like a loon prior to the Klitschko fight. He can soak his hands in brine, horse urine, or whatever other old timey tactic he wants, it won’t give him any advantages beneath the handwraps and gloves.
