If you could have steered Tyson Fury's comeback, would you have done it differently?

[W1LL]

And if so, how?

Personally, I think it a big blow he didn't unite with his uncle Peter Fury. I think that partnership would have given him the biggest chance of returning to previous form and toppling the current top fighters in the division.

Also his level of opposition has been terrible. His preparation for a big fight against Deontay Wilder is also terrible. Think he should have fought a few fellow big men and built up towards the toughest fights. Think a lineup like:

David Price
Robert Helenius
Charles Martin
Lucas Browne

Say if he'd reeled off a bunch of wins like this in a 12-18 month period, taking him into late Spring 2019. Then I think Luis Ortiz would have been the perfect name to make a statement against. From there he'd have been well ready to challenge for titles, would have shaken off all rust.

id be putting him in with some durable plodder next someone like wach if they are still around, then someone like washington/helenius , then breazele, then fight dillain whyte then fight joshua/wilder winner. id keep him clear of big punchers for the time being

[Randall Cunning]

The plan they were on was fine. The deviation from the plan we wont find out if it was right til after the 1st round vs Wilder. Whoever called it is either a genius or has questions to answer come December 2nd.

[daggum]

he got a 50-50 split and rematch clause for a ppv fight. boxing is a business. if you have no passion and cant even get in shape you can easily lose against anyone and ruin those paydays. luckily wilder was in a cherry picking mood so it was perfectly timed

I wouldn’t have changed trainer and actually going with Hearn would have made more sense in terms of building his comeback up sensibly. I know fury has a relationship gap but sometimes you need to put yourself first. Fighting two nobodies, performing badly , then taking on wilder - welll it’s just ******

First off, he should be with a coach who’s actually qualified to coach him. Ben Davison is nowhere near experienced enough to coach Tyson through adversity in a fight.
I think the a reunion with Peter is way off the cards but someone like Ingle, Booth, Hatton etc would’ve been a good choice for Fury stylistically.

As for opponents, I’d have targeted guys who aren’t exactly dangerous but who have toughness, resilience and can provide rounds. So maybe start with a Pianeta type and then fight the sort of gatekeeper level like Takam, Helenius even Chisora again.

Going with Hearn would be a terrible idea, it’d mean he would be conforming to playing second fiddle to AJ. He’d also give up all his leverage in negotiations.
Plus he’d then have to fight the likes of Bellew, Whyte and whatever other matchroom groupie before even being close to an AJ fight.

Bellew and Whyte would have both been high fights. I don't think he is ready for either of those yet though. A Dave Allen sort of opponent is more ideal for next target

[Boksfan]

Yeah Fury should have come back to his uncle and Pianeta should have been his first fight, Saferi circus was a mockery of boxing and should never take place if Fury got any dignity.

Dave Allen😂😂
Not ready for Bellew😭😭😭
You’re one of those are you?

The point remains the same from a business and career perspective signing with Hearn would’ve been ****** for Fury.
