Hahahahaha you funny bastard, I can imagine tyson on sky ringside getting asked a question by Johnny Nelson about the heavyweight landscape and where he fits in. Tyson responds "Well you know me John boy there isn't a man born from his mother's arsehole that can beat the gypsy king, not even the ***s though they've already tried and failed." Nelson. OK tyson we're having some technical issues at the moment we will cut to adverts for those watching at home see you in a few moments.
Ridiculously charismatic but utterly unmarketable at the same time.
Can you imagine Sky trying to push this guy as a product? Like AJ? It would never work.
I'm actually surprised Matchroom wanted to sign him. obviously they will make concessions for someone who could generate a lot of money but still, Hearn said that his fighters are expected to act a certain way because of the corporate sponsors involved with Sky. Hence why they got rid of Ohara Davies.
I'm a fan but Fury is the last man you want if you want to keep corporate sponsors on board...
