I'd echo others' thoughts here - he's a rough fighter and it's the ref's job to keep it rough, but clean. A fighter should do what it takes to win. With that being said, for all the dirty fighter talk, Fury took over the third fight when he established his jab, not his tactics. His jab neutralized Wilder, his rough approach is what punished him once he'd taken over
Would you consider Fury a "dirty boxer"?

Fury definitely resorts to some rough stuff (I'm thinking that forearm to Cunningham you referenced), and it isn't always pretty, but dirty might be a stretch. When I think of dirty fighters, Golota and Mike Tyson come to mind. Mike Tyson is probably the dirtiest ever. I mean, he repeatedly tried to break opponents arms, injured an opponent with a late punch, and bit off a hunk of a freakin' ear. Of course, there are degrees to everything, but Tyson Fury isn't dirty at all when comparing him to truly dirty fighters.Comment
