    Why is Eddie Chambers in England living and training with Tyson Fury?

    Seems kinda weird, you'd think he'd be in the states training at the mayweather gym but instead hes in england living with the fury family.
    Anyone know why?

    Seem polar opposites, fury and eddie

      To make some money? He is sparring most of the HW here and getting himself in shape in case a fight turns up for him. The American HW scene isn't that big at the moment and the European scene is quite booming at the moment, I don't blame him to be honest.

        He's done jack since joining Team Fury. if anything, he's regressed - so, your guess is a good as mine.

          He's basically making more money being a sparring partner in England and fighting bad opposition than fighting good opposition in the US. He wrote on twitter that he got like 1M for fighting Klitschko and beside that only made up to 20000 a fight.

            Better opportunity I'm guessing. Sparring, gets a flow of fights on euro cards and.... I think he commentates sometimes.

              i guess he feels he can get more work in the UK, sparring wise and fighting wise. we all know the state of the HW division in america, take into account how big the country is and how what little talent there is atm is spread out all over the place i reckon you can get better work in england.

              doesnt seem a lot of british promoters are putting him in there with any of their guys though. i guess he isnt all that relevant anymore, i never though he was any good to begin with tbh. had some talent but was way too fat and limited to capitalize.

                In terms of making money he's better off in the uk, i could see him fighting Delboy (if loses to fury), or Price or even Anthony Jousha down the line

                He is probably more known in the uk than in the US. Also he's around good boxers such as Hugie and Tyson, it's a matter of getting him into shape.

                  Cause he likes the fish & chips in merry olde England. I don't see Eddie making too much noise since he was embarrassed by that 5'6 South African fireball. He's done for all intents and purposes.

                    Chambers has reinvented himself of sorts. As several posters stated, he's a fulltime sparring partner, he commentates and he's been getting fights here and there. Aside from Wilder and a few other names, the HW scene in the U.S. isn't very active. He's making a name for himself in Europe and will hopefully land another big fight
