Only just read that. Talk of headaches leading up to the fight. Rip. I feel for the opponent too. You wouldn't feel too good after that.

Anybody watch the cleverley fight? Braemar probably ahead on the cards but quit after round 5 with a broken elbow. Really strange ending.

"Boxing is the saddest thing I ever took part in, all a pile of shit, I'm the greatest, & I'm also retired, so go suck a dick, happy days  :D :D :D"

Tyson Fury


Is it real or a windup?

Typical noise-generating attention-seeking from someone of his ..er.. background.

Yeah i watched it. Cleverley seemed to throw punches by the plenty that wouldnt have hurt a child.  Was very surprised Braemar quit.

Not much sympathy for a man suffering from mental illness in this thread. This isn't something new with Fury, he's been battling the demons for a long time and his outbursts (and most likely his cocaine abuse) are symptomatic of this. I wouldn't be berating the man just yet and listening to a few comments from his close friends this week, he seems to be in a fairly dark place. I hope he can sort himself out and get back in action next year, as without him the division is much less interesting and whoever holds his titles will always have a bit of an asterix against their name.
That was never a square ball!!

You can have demons and mental illness but still be a ****!

Fair enough - but it depends how much of his media persona is due to his mental state. Most people with a mental illness don't have to deal with the level of media scrutiny that comes with being heavyweight champion of the world.

I know people who know him through boxing circles and they have nothing but good things to say about him. He has visited lots of the local boxing clubs here and apparently didn't act like some celebrity dickhead and took lots of time to talk and work with the kids in the club. He's a bit of a header but the media persona is very likely different to his normal one.

Interesting interview with Fury. Clearly not in the best frame of mind!

Bellew wins 1st Cruiserweight defence handily. The afters with David Haye was hilarious! Haye is a bit of a fraud.
