    Really honest with himself and the fans. I'm tired of fighter who know they have no chance to win but act like they have confidence in themself just to hype a fight...

      Tyson has a very mature head on his shoulders, i am impressed with him and his honest outlook. Props.

      The issue is his power, i just don’t see it. Work on that jab, tighten up the defence and make sure you’ve got 15rds of fuel in your tank and he can go far.

      Good lad.

        he has become one of my favorite fighters.i have all his fights & the dancing to the ring,trash talking he could beat the klitschkos after his first fight,punching himself was all brilliant self promotion to get his name on the map.it was very difficult to see if he actually had any talent,especially after the 1st mcdermott fight(i thought john won) but he regrouped & started being more serious & working with steward & the klitschkos has helped him immensely.he has wins vs mcdermott,zack page & chisora but now has a solid jm in front of him.firtha is big,aggressive & can take a good punch.what holds firtha back is he is marginally skilled & doesn't have ko power.he is a heart & soul fighter with limited upside but he comes to fight & fury won't push him around.firtha is always in boxing shape because he is a road warrior who takes fights on short notice like page,gavern & rafael butler.this is a very good test for fury.i see a 10 round UD coming for tyson in a hard fought battle.

          Tyson Fury should avoid a Klitschko fight for a while. Sorta Like what Povetkin and Helenius have been doing. These guys are just good prospects, don't have enough experience, and would be easily disposed of in a Klitschko fight. Unfortunately, the HW div. is in a very sad state right now, because these prospects should have no business being in a title fight at all.

            this might sound crazy

            and there's also a chance that im completely off with this based on his genetics alone

            but i don't think i am off.

            fury could lose 30-40 lbs in half a year.

            easy. the kid is 23 years old. he's 6'9 with a huge reach.
            weight will just fall off of him by the lb if he starts eating right
            and more importantly less.


            the leanest of meats and fish and then nothing but fruits, veggies, and other super healthy whole foods. like a weight class boxer, only without the starving and drying out.

            his loose skin and body type honestly looks to come from a horrible diet
            simmilar to arreola
            he probably eats junk food. big men have big stomachs that will pack huge amounts of food away if they get used to it.


            good for him
            he'll notice a huge difference if he drops even 20 lbs
            and again, with that height and his high weight being so high, there's no reason for him to stop there

            40 lbs
            he should be 225 if he wants to seriously contend with a world class HW (if they even exist outside of the klitschkos)


            look at arreola
            that guy has already lost close to 30 lbs and he's still got at least 15 or 20 do go. probably more.

              the problem with fury is for such a big guy he has no pop in his punches

                Props to him for being honest saying he would get knocked out, then he says he "was the fastest HW since Muhammed ALi" Sure you were

                  Tyson Fury is fast becoming my favourite domestic fighter, gotta love him!!!

                  Now, back to those 10 punch combinations he was on about.........was it in the ams against a 5ft 11" 15 year old who wasnt punching back?

                    The fact that he still employs his uncle as his main trainer is a big problem IMO

                    He needs to cut his family out when it comes to his career, and try and get with Steward full time, he trains in a converted barn with a roof that looks like it's going to collapse FFS

                      He will be again.

                      Steward said he will be working Fury's corner in the future, but not for Saturday's fight.
