      This sounds terrible, but it's generally accepted that Irish traveller communities operate outside the law.

      They can bring violence, home-robberies and defraudation with them when moving to a new place. Also domestic abuse is rife within these communities – stats here

      I've had several personal and business troubles with travellers and each instance they had moved onto property illegally and/or threatened unprovoked assault. I accept this is likely the bad bunch who are the most visible, but shockingly these were large groups of families with lots of young children.

        Lmao at Fury getting heat just because he was a gypsy.

        Things Fury did to hurt his popularity

        1. Attacked David Price repeatedly, when price was a popular UK boxer and nice guy

        2. Attacked Lennox Lewis, Britain's best ever boxer

        3, made racist, ****phobic and sexist comments at various times

        4. Signed to a fringe promotor who did a terrible job of publicising him for several years

        5. Was proven to be a drugs cheat

        6. Attacked Anthony Joshua who is very popular

        For Fury to do all of the above and claim he's a victim is sheer hilarity of the highest order.

        If you want to play the villain, you can't expect adulation.

        I accept Fury has bipolar and swings between moods etc explaining some of the above but it is what it is, the guy turns heel and face more times than the big show

          Thanks.Its just to often people are quick to criticise others without having been in their shoes.Hence look at Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweathers background. Real serious stuff .

          Hence from studying our personality's are a mix of genes/environment though some people have more propensity to go astray than others.Its these that need harsher discipline which often boxing provides.Hence as your more likely aware gives a outlet for their energy and calms them down.

            It is what it is though .I remember as well when I was young there were problems with travellers camping illegally by a school leaving lots of trash/defecating wherever.

            Like anything though I dont think you can tar them all with the same brush but there probably is a higher percentage of this group that are deviant compared to other social groups.

                Well why mention it in the first place?

                I wouldn't be surprised if he made the whole mental illness thing up because it sounds better than him just enjoying his money.
                I thought I saw that he actually did this. Did some charity event in Cardiff or something. Could be wrong.

                  Not got a problem with Fury personally. I'm not into loud-mouth fighters. Never have but that's just my preference. I can't knock people for being fans because the guy is a great boxer in an era of OK Heavyweight punchers.

                  Fury managed to time his comeback and use the mental health route when it was flavour of the week but I think he'd already done too much to damage his iamge with the UK. Talk about ***s, Women and ****sexuals is literally in the headlines here and it goes down like a shit sandwich. I think its only a matter of time that he self-destructs over in the US too. No offence to our cousins across the pond but they are too forgiving and love someone when they are on top. If Fury loses by KO to Wilder, fans will run to the hills and say I told you so, then Fury does one Oprah-style-show and all is forgotten; Fury was the victim. Stereotyping I know, just my perception.

                  I read a decent article in the Radio times (of all places) and the writer there said that its like Fury doesn't know himself. He presents so much BS to the public that he's forgotten which parts are an act and which parts are the real Tyson Fury. I feel sorry for the guy if thats true.

                  Wilder by KO, 8/9. Fury flies back to Morecambe.

                    I think Fury has turned a hill though due to his faith.Hence he's always been religious and his psychologist attributes this to his saving grace in why he never took his own life.That and his children and never wants to go that dark place again.

                    Likewise its heartwarming when you read this by Wilder :

                    “Like [Fury] said, you have to nail him to a coffin for him to stay down… And I love a fighter like that.”

                    I still have Fury edging it though.
