    Does Tyson Fury still have fans?

    Who still supports him in his twilight years?

      Big fan of Fury inside the ring. Truly elite HW, not just only skill wise but has also demonstrated incredible heart, toughness, will to win etc.

      However, as a person, he’s an attention w****, far too much talk not enough action, far too many lies and false promises. Just shut up and fight.

        I think most people feels the same way

          He wasnt well liked or respected in his early career either. People used to cite him punching himself in the face, the gift vs McDermott, getting dropped by Cunningham while ****ing around etc and he was just looked at as a bit of a clumsy goof who represented how ****e HW had become. He built up goodwill when he came back and for what he did to Wilder but hes basically pissing it all away again. If you're gonna talk tons of **** you need to walk the walk consistently too, if he was demolishing Usyk, AJ etc while talking **** it'd be a different story and people would love him.

            I like his fighting style. I don`t like his attitude and the fact that he fights under the level of his closes opposition.

            My main problem with Fury is he only fought 3 guys worth a damn.

              Don't be fooled by the commentary in the Mcdermott 1 fight. I thought Fury won 6 or even 7 rounds tbh. Fury then though was hardly what he became. At least 20 HW's at that time would have beaten him.

              That being said, he used to be up for fighting anyone and be funny, now his ego has got to the point that he is only willing to fight with everything on his terms and it is getting quite boring. Chisora 3 was an absolute joke that he deserves a lot of criticism for. Can't knock him for the Whyte fight and many on here thought style wise Whyte could cause him a lot of problems, but the difference in skill level on display was incredible.

              But the whole him sending 20,000 contracts out a day has become tedious. I've been a huge fan of his since 2011, when he beat Chisora the first time, but fair is fair I have to call him out on his bull**** as I would anyone else. The fake charity donation was bad as well. I know people do make private donations, but when you state publicly that you are donating, then you have to prove it publicly as well, and let's be honest, we all know that charity never saw a penny of the Greedy King's money.

                I'll tune in when he fights, because he is a real talent. His schtick outside the ring is tiresome and tedious, however. He's definitely tough to love.

                    I don't care for his antics outside the ring, but I'm still a fan of his as a fighter.
