I guess my reaction is the same as Fury's. "Cool"

Never knew Tony Danza was a boxer though. Looked a lot more legit than Mickey Rourke too lol

Does the UK even have any real contenders? The only weight class I can think of having some English hopefuls is the ratchet drugs filled HW division. Hughie and Tommy Fury should tryout ; especially Tommy Fury. Even though Tommy is a light-heavyweight, his appearance in the Reality-TV series 'Love Island' will generate big ratings.

Boxing back on the Beeb at long last.

Of course he will.

Fury is the people's champ. The kingpin. The man to beat. The face of boxing. Boxing's cash cow. The golden goose.

How come he's only getting 50-50 out of Joshua? And that's only if he doesn't drop his belt...

That sounds about right.

Fury is the now the face of boxing and everyone wants a piece of the pie.

Fury as host and it being on the Beeb sounds too good to be true. That would be great exposure for the sport.

Let's be honest here, how likely is it that the SJWs who run the BBC would hire someone like Tyson Fury?

I just don't see it tbh.

I really hope this comes off we need some hope in Boxing right now
