Fury was the clear winner, but doesn't look like he will go beyond domestic/European level. Unless he stays in this lane, be hard to imagine him going to small arenas fighting fellow prospects for local area titles and getting 5000 for it when he can get millions fighting youtubers.

Rematch with Jake Paul then he'll fight KSI and then retire with £30m in the bank and do a reality show with his other half Molly Mae

Yeah something like that. Who can blame him?

Realistically if he had any hope of being a top boxer he'd have sparked that clown out within 30 seconds.

Yeah I'd be surprised if Fury went back down to getting paid a few thousand pound for fights which fighters of his level would get at the moment when he's getting paid millions from the kind of set up from last night.

Fury isn't too bad a boxer but could you just imagine Jake Paul in against even someone at just below world level? Fair play to the both of them for making the sort of money they did last night. Bet Tommy wished he signed the contract to double his money now.

Thought they did sign the double or nothing contract? Either way, Tommys an ok boxer who we would never have heard of if it wasn't for his brother- would he even have got on love island? He seems a nice enough lad so all the best to him.

Tommy looked like he was shiting himself with nerves. He never agreed to the double or nothing purse bet, it was Daddy Fury came in mouthing saying he would take the bet!

Anthony Joshua seems to be increasingly losing the plot

He's on the radio doing interviews on talksport crying about how he isn't respected . What has he done?

Him/his promoter have openly admitted he's back to fight a few journeymen and get the confidence levels up.

He's a big bag of sh*te with no mental toughness to be the best, I hope this Franklin dud knocks him out

Sick listening to him yapping. His best ever moment was beating an old man in klitschko and even that could have went either way

Should sell that out, should, fingers crossed, give her a proper pay day and maybe go out on a high, nothing to prove and at 36 she isn't getting any younger and blows to the head (at any age) isn't great.

There will be plenty of pundit work and other TV work to pay the bills

When you see the price's Hearn's comments on Croke Park not working etc really don't make any sense. The only thing that make's sense is that he wasn't confident he'd draw the crowd to croke park.

His complaint's were around the fact that the extra security costs would cost a million more than wembley. But he'd have had 70,000 extra ticket sales in croke park at an average of €100 (that might be on the low side given the large premium area in croke park) plus lot's of extra merchandise extra. A sold out croke park would have generated a much higher profit.

Think he was saying he always craved the respect of others but now is saying that won't be the case.

Of course he has mental toughness, in a hard sport and got to the top, don't do that if you are weak.  What has he done? Unified the heavyweight division and won a lot of fights until the recent losses. Don't think you could label his win over Klitschko as some crap win either, Fury is lauded for beating him not so long before that. Klitschko was in top form that night and looked good.  I also think he is due a tune-up fight - been in title fights since very early in his career, fought nearly all the top fighters too. Just compare his resume with Furys, night and day from when it comes to calibre of opponent.

Bang average boxer who Fury would eat for breakfast. Fury obviously not at the level of the greats of years gone by but he's best around at the minute by a mile
