Very interesting interview. The big lad has been very unlucky. He reckons he beat Fury on their first fight and Danny Williams too. Have to agree.

Even Fury's dad has gone up in my estimation because he said Tyson had been beaten by big John McDermott on their first fight.

Terry O'Connor has come up with some"interesting" decisions over the years.

I seen both those fights as they happened and I always said McDermott had the better of him and fury struggled with him, but fury has done better as he’s got more experienced as he has shown.

First fight Fury had left his trainer Hughie and gone back to amateur coach Steve Egan and there had also been very little sparring for this fight also Fury came in at his lightest ever weight 17st 9lb. Hughie had been at Fury over poor discipline and diet. Fury never took Mcdermott serious despite it being only his 7th fight and it being Mcdermott’s 30th fight and was calling him Mcmuffin and despite being the best fighter he had faced up to that point Fury thought he just had to turn up for the win. Fury had not been past 4 rounds in a fight at this point.Fury even went on holiday before the first fight iirc  and should have lost. Fury trained properly for the second fight and this time came in nearly 2 stone heavier and probably did what he should have in the first fight and stopped Mcdermott. Mcdermott was also unlucky not to get the nod twice before the first Fury fight, losing both times against British Champion Danny Williams dropping a majority decision in the first fight and then lost on a split decision in the rematch, both fights Mcdermott should have won imo .
