What was with the ridiculous "Apollo Creed" Red White and Blue outfit? The constant shout-outs to America after it was over?
Face it, NO American fighter would come into a British ring dressed as a Beefeater. NO Puerto Rican fighter would enter a ring in Mexico wearing a Sombrero.
The Gypsy King has nothing to say about bringing his next fight back to the UK? He's that much of a sell-out to the American dollar?
That he postured and mugged against a guy with almost no experience and a shorter reach was also ridiculous.
I give him credit for singing fairly well. He also seems to have more confidence than when Steve Cunningham dropped him. He even has people thinking that no current Top 10 heavy can beat him.
But he sure was being a Yankee Doodle Dandy wasn't he?

It’s a great marketing plot for him, it’s not like he has a massive following in the UK, his boxing skills would be more appreciated in America to be honest. He has a deal there and he is trying to get their monies, so what do you do?

Tyson showed appeal to American boxing fans, unlike Joshua in his debut, who was mainly seen as a stranger. Americans notice Tyson's gesture. He should have a good career on this side of the pond. He has a personality.

Cant blame Tyson Fury for spotting a gap in the market. America needs a great Heavyweight to be proud of cuz they havnt got any at the moment. They sorta have Ruiz but Ruiz dont want to be seen as an American so Fury is jumping in to see if he can tap in to this massive American $$$$$$$ market if it still exists.

If he continues his journey to the 2nd step, expect to see him coming to the ring in blackface.

Fury has gone rogue. His ho-mo phobic, misogynistic, jew baiting beliefs and his drug dealing uncles and ex-con father mean nothing to him now. Its all about mom and apple pies and trying to shaft the yanks out of much money as possible.
