Comments Thread For: Video: Fury's Father Erupts - EPIC Rant on Racism, Media, Joshua

[- Ram Raid -]

I think John Fury should take a back seat as, despite his rants being pretty funny to me, it's certainly not good in a PR sense. The respect he's looking for is never going to happen, the public will never accept the Fury's like a Joshua or Haye. They don't have the backing, sponsorship or any media training and people are not used to that in sport. They will have to clean out the division before getting any respect from boxing fans never mind the public

There's an adeptness to John Fury when he's playing a certain type of game that has accrued him an amount of respect in some circ!es. The problem is that it's not suited to the world that his son now finds himself in. I agree he should take a back seat, but he won't.

Whilst his views on an anti-traveller sentiment are valid he'll use that to create a beleaguered atmosphere of The World Vs Team Fury. That'll be to their detriment. He's more often than not, hardheaded, dogmatic in his approach and prone to bouts of paranoia. If he was able to take a back seat he could contribute positively, particularly in terms of motivating Tyson to add a certain longevity to his career. That's not the kind of man he is though. He'll try to take over and dominate. He'll cause friction within the team and without.

It's a shame because Peter has done a fine job in the main since taking the reigns. John may well stear them towards the rocks. Whether he's more asset than hinderance all depends on how well Peter and Tyson can keep the old dog on his leash. That's easier said than done.

LOL nice rant. Pure entertainment.

On the real doe, you can't say anti-gay **** & "woman get in the kitchen & make my supper" type **** & expect to be the guy sipping the Pepsi in the commercial a few months later. Cmon man. Fair enough on being real, but if you are too real or got some mainstream controversial takes on realness don't be surprised they don't put you on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here. Fury can repair that damage, but it takes effort &/or time or he can wait for the guys who want a more flawed guy representing them &/or their product. But mainly lets not act like Fury is a victim of racial bias. He's a victim of being a lil bit of a ****head bias.

And I say this as a fan of Fury. I like him as a boxer & a man & I'm okay with the more controversial things he says. I understand that I & others got less than perfect stances on any & every possible thing under the sun, but I'm under no illusion this doesn't have side effects to ones life & blowback on ones opportunities.

I have no doubt that Fury has faced plenty of anti-traveller hatred in his life, and that it is part of the reason he gets crap coverage compared to Joshua. But it's not the main reason.

The main reason is that AJ is an Olympic gold medallist who looks like a Superhero. Whereas Fury looks like your uncle drunk at a wedding.

Well tbf if you're brash and outspoken then there's your reason why you don't get invited to quiz games (lol) or are not on billboards.

Tyson Furys dad is a classless ***** scumbag just like his son. I just wish Lennox Lewis had taken him up on the offer of a fight recently as we wouldn't be hearing **** from him.

[M Bison]

He's been fighting bums all his life yet he KO's the guy that Fury went the distance with in what one or two rounds?
He fights Dillian Whyte who is a tough fighter he has a hard night with him has to deal with a bit of adversity getting clipped but he came back from it and put Whyte on his back out for the count in dramatic entertaining fashion!
Now he's also added Martin to the list its clear as day that AJ is talented he has the amateur pedigree to boot with some heavy, heavy hands on him why should he not be rated?

Its about racism... so what angle is he going for here is it because he isn't black?
Wait, what... smh this guy so thick white fighters get props regardless Carl Froch anyone?
Gypsies aren't a race so not liking them doesn't imply racism and do you know why that is... me hating someone for them having the same skin colour ISN'T racist its just idiotic for a bunch of Neanderthal caravan living twats to sit there and spout utter bullshxt.
It's like a bunch of bronies get together they keep a close knit community marry within their own (******) and do whatever weird activities that they do to make themselves hated and when they receive the hate they're due they have a little hissy fit and shout racism now because you hate people who like my little pony does that make you a racist?
NO!

Easy to debunk these absolute ******s.

I could understand his rant.

[Razcal26]

He has a very valid point.

For years in the UK, the media has always had something against Tyson Fury. They've never taken any notice of him, they had undermined him constantly and belittled his achievements.

The most obvious was when he beat Wlad (he beat fcking Wlad ffs) and the English media were downplaying his win and saying crap like Haye or Joshua could have done it if they had the chance and that they were better than Fury.

Disgraceful. It's gotta be the Gypsy thing.

John Fury recently left prison after doing a stretch for gouging out a mans eye at a car auction. Tyson Fury has made ****phobic rants followed by sexist rants and now is talking about slapping Joshua like he would his *****. So yeah people dislike them in the UK and it's not a "gypsy" thing it's because they are lowlife scumbags.

I saw a lot of praise for his achievement after the Wlad win.

I do think that he could be taken more seriously by some parts of the media though but when you have played the joker your entire career then you have to expect to be treated like one at times.
