I just rolled my eyes and took the dog out lol Love island, you tube fame but rank novices headlining a sold out fight... madness... but here we are.. The unfortunate thing is real fight fans are turned off by this so Tommy who wants to progress as a boxer is instantly seen as part of the circus...or maybe the quick cash is better than coming up through the ranks the old fashioned way...I suppose you can't blame em for cashing in, just not my cup of tea at all...

NEWKID 26,212 Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 I saw a picture in the paper this morning of all the fury clan and all the hangers on in the ring with Tommy, and he was holding up a belt... the pic was like he'd just won the world title... f***ing embarrassing for all of them really...surely Tysoe can see this is a pair of novices in their early fights, abd this is a load of bollocks, but he's right up there lapping it up lol...

Poor lads winning British titles and challenging for world titles ending up broke and one stint on love Island and marry the bird off it and your the biggest draw in boxing before you've even really started... My Mrs told me to shut up about it last night.... I was embarrassed my girls drawn into it...but thats the way of the world lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,897 Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 As said I've never watched boxing really... ......so playing devils advocate..... The fights before the main bout were really good... and even a complete novice could see the difference.... Maybe that's a good thing, got people watching and taking an interest. The most impressive part for me was a young lad, Martinez, who actually lost on points, yet he is the boxer who stuck in my mind and I'd like to see him fight again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leave it there, there's a good lad. Fury ain't gonna fight usyk for undisputed, and he ain't gonna fight joshua, who has NO belt. Fury's next fight will be another farce, and more of a slur on heavyweight boxing, than he's already made it!! Looking more and more like it I wonder what his fans make of his latest demands it looks he's trying to get out of this fight any way he can with his latest demands and he said don't rule out another wilder fight ffs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
