How long (realistically) till we see Tyson back in the ring?

I see your point, but TBH I am not interested in AJ-Fury if Fury is not 100%. I want to see how AJ deals with Fury that fought Wlad. Making the fight just on a hype is not good for boxing IMO.Tyson is the guy that beat the guy 1st. He has a legit claim to being the HWT champ. IMO he appears unstable and you dont want to kill the fight by him losing.
Maybe before the end of the year put him in with a very easy fight to get him back and build interest. you have to be careful because he could mess things up given how unstable he appears.Comment

I said he was done but I think seeing AJ get worshiped as a god in the UK is going to get to him. I think he's going to be back this winter. The body starts to change in the late 20's/early 30's and, because he put his body through hell, I think he's going to find himself not able to get back to exactly where he was, pre-obesity. ******* use for months on end can fk up your heart a bit too.
So, I'm taking back what I said, I do think he's going to come back and I think it'll be fueled by jealousy of AJ stealing the spotlight.Comment

I get your point. I too want him to be at his best. I don't think Fury needs to prove himself in the ring. He did that beating wlad and, as i said, IMO he has a fair claim to the HWT championship.
I just don't know if he is stable enough in his recovery. The last shenanigans were very problematic.Comment

I don't think it's primarily AJ, I think it's more him figuring out that he is a loser without boxing.I said he was done but I think seeing AJ get worshiped as a god in the UK is going to get to him.

I think he is a kind of guy who fuels on people writing him off. He will never be AJ and IMO he doesn't want to be.
He ballooned in a very short period, so that gives me a hope he can come back.Comment

Eh, we've seen plenty of fat guys in the heavyweight division over the past decade or so. I think with an eight to ten week training camp he should be able to complete an eight round fight against a journeyman. And then hopefully use that as a launchpad to get back into proper shape like he was in before the lay-offComment

It doesn't have to be AJ, it can be anyone. What I'm saying is that he was the man a year ago and now he sees someone else in his spotlight as the world HW champ and the boxer that Britain is fixated on. I think that is a big motivator for him. He feels like he beat Wlad with no scares, why should be let someone who just struggled with the same opponent steal his spotlight.I don't think it's primarily AJ, I think it's more him figuring out that he is a loser without boxing.
