Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: I've Stopped Training, Taking Time Off Until a Deal is Done

Gotta feel for Fury he beat Wilders a** the only fight out there for him is AJ and they f***ing around with details. Fury will get motivated again and will beat AJ bet on it

His people should've got him a fight in between. Fighting Joshua coming off an 18 months layoff can't be good. Inactivity is a fighter's worst enemy so it's good he's speaking up. I think this is all gamesmanship though, maybe he's trying to give Joshua's camp a false sense of security to make the deal faster?

Fury fights tomato cans he won't fight jodhua he knows if he does he'll be in a real fight

If he truly is putting down that much beer daily, it is not a good sign that he'd be capable of staying away from other substances in the future. Ain't for me to call the guy an addict, but has he not called himself one at times, or at least had drug use that led to legal problems (or just boxing problems?) Video of him running into the water at the beach a few weeks ago or whenever that was certainly looked like a guy who's been tipping them back aplenty. Of course not all drug addicts/abusers/users are created equal, but my personal experiences over nearly twenty yrs of throwing my life away and being in and out of treatment centers has convinced me that more of us than not, regardless the drug of choice, are created equal. Again, if these sorta things are legitimately true, and with this whackadoo who the hell will ever really know (unless he's found somewhere after having pulled a Chris Farley or something) we likely won't know. His business anyway. His business and the British paparazzis that is

I don't believe him. I dont believe he is doing 10 or 12 pints a day. It wouldn't be a bad idea to ease off the training though if he's been constantly in camp since last
March.

For those saying Fury needed to keep busy, me and Wilder agree. But Fury wanted no part of that signed agreement.

Busy, busy, busy.......

You can't take Fury’s words serious, the guy is a pathological liar.

Reminded me of his interviews just before he pulled out of the Wlad rematch. Can't tell with Fury, is it mind games, is he losing it again or is he lacking confidence now that the AJ fight could be a reality? It was a negative interview either way.

A lot of people are playing this off as mind games.

I just think it is a way of Fury dealing with being favourite at elite level,against another elite level fighter.

It is a new experience for him, nobody knows how he will deal with it 'The only time he was in this very same position, was Kiltschko II'.

Fury has always been the underdog in all of his biggest fights at elite level.

“I’ve been out of the ring for a bit, so I’m back to square one again, basically,” Fury said. “I’m not training any more. I’ve packed in at the moment.

Besides all that, he also said "I sparred yesterday (Thursday)".
Maybe he's doing the same crap as Silly Hoe.
Hope his scrotum is ok?

The last week Fury has sounded very different.

What has changed?

Earlier in the week Joshua had said Fury can joke around with the pre-fight antics all he wants. Joshua is there to close the show.

That level of reason and confidence, I think, has Fury a little off edge. Like Joshua is not one bit worried about him and has a clear vision of the fight. I think Fury is trying to disrupt that vision and throw him off a little. Ask for more money last minute maybe? Or a warm up fight.. See what that does to Joshua.

Fury does not want Joshua having a clear vision of this fight anyway.
