Comments Thread For: Fury: I'm Named After [Mike Tyson] And Now I'm In The Opposite Corner From Him, It's Crazy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tyson Fury had to laugh at the irony. The unbeaten two-time and reigning lineal heavyweight champion has taken great pride in his having been named after former undisputed champ Mike Tyson. So, it came as a bit of a shock when he learned that his next fight would come with the Hall of Fame legend working the corner of his opponent, former UFC heavyweight king and pro boxing debutant Francis Ngannou.

And Mike was a fury fan but probably Mike thinking if you want to call yourself after me and not fight your fellow boxers I'll train a guy to teach you a tough lesson and reduce that ego.. I know Mike was one of the people told fury believe in yourself....you got to believe your the best but unfortunately fury heard I'm the best but dont need to prove it lol...
boxers don't do well in mma and mma guys don't do well in boxing rings...Mike Tyson is a real character and regardless of whether he was a great or not he knows boxing..... I don't understand fury ????? Joshua is ripe for the taking and Fury's going to let wilder do it for him.....usyk is so hard to evaluate but I bet wilder will jump at the chance

Mike is a sellout and is doing this for a paycheck. What's he going to teach Francis?
This is all planned to drive up the PPV buys from casuals.

Yeah you could well be right.....what's he going to teach Francis ????.... I don't know tbh......depends what you mean......Mike has nothing to teach or Francis knows what he needs to know ??..
mma very different to boxing...... I doubt fury would last a round in mma ..... Francis is a fights and a mma fighter but he's not a boxer....he may have been trained in boxi g and use it as part of his skill set but mma isn't boxin..... Mike can possibly train him in boxing but yeah what can he teach him that'll prepare him for a fully fledged boxer????.. but why fury doesn't stick
stick to boxing boxers I don't know.

Ppv sales is obviously a lot to do with the antics but fury v Francis aside which is a nonsense.... All of a sudden AJ the only one who's actually regularly fighting.....he'd still be champ if he'd fought this regular before

Wouldn’t the sell out be the guy avoiding actual pro boxers for a money circus fight ? What do you care what he’s teaching him isn’t the issue Fury actually having planned this fight all along he literally said he was fighting Ngannou a year or so ago even started the ball rolling right after he invited Ngannou in the ring after his Whyte win then led fools ( there’s plenty of them ) to believe he wanted Joshua or Usyk when he’s been saying he doesn’t want undisputed fur years now .

You Fury fans make as much sense as he does ,Fury literally put this entire thing together and your mad at Mike ,yep you’re a Fury fan that’s for sure bet you won’t call Fury a sell out even though he consistently states he can’t be bothered fighting top ranked guys right even mentioning Jon Jones after this one. Wonder who you’ll blame then ? .

[GrandpaBernard]

It’s alright. I’m sure they’ll pay their respects and hug it out after the fight

I agree.
. Tyson fury Vs Francis ngannou,..then Tommy fury Vs ksi?
Tommy fury Vs Jake Paul.....with Logan Paul shouting abuse during rounds at ringside.......boxing's becoming like WWE....then someone will get hurt bad or killed because, as Tyson, Tommy, Francis will say talk is talk to sell tickets but once in the ring or octagon it's real....Logan Paul screaming high school insults at Tommy fury during his fight with Jake Paul.....I questioned what I was watching....have I been done into believing this is real when it's fake or is this fool shouting abuse when his brothers in a boxing ring...

Let's see it for what it is an exhibition that fury will win but in a way that doesn't embarrass Francis and they both get a big pay day .... Fury needs to surrender that WBC Belt....these millionaire greedy guys are making boxing into WWE.... Until someone gets hurt and then boxing will be the victim.....

Fury is a great boxer but I'm sorry I'm going to let rip, he doesn't feel he needs to prove it... He says he's a advocate for mental health????? Maybe...no doubt guy is a warrior.....but retire and have a few exhibitions or fight real boxers or even go onto MMA abs fight Francis on his terms and see.....cause In Between messing about with talk and contracts and then getting pussed up you looking like you need the help not give it .....end of sermon....lol apologies if you'll join me in hym number......l... apologies I do get passionate

[A.B Counterhooks]

Lol you def cant make this stuff up. I wonder if Tyson could actually teach francis a thing or two to apply it on the ring or he was brought just to hype up the show and sell more ppv.

Correction: your name is Luke, that does not sound like Tyson to me. Your name is Luke “Tyson” fury and all but Tyson are diddycoy names that are made up somewhere along the 9ikey generations of smelliest.
everyone, his name is Luke. Can’t even get his own rediculous name right and one other thing, Mr Tyson to you was called Mike.
