The kid's still a novice he beat a seasoned pro & came through some tough middle rounds.
What he needs is a settled camp with a first class trainer who wont take any shit, he needs to take boxing seriously but if he is going to keep moving from one trainer to another he wont get beyond British level if at all.I'd have him out early doors 7 days a week running that waist line down a bit keep him away from fast food joints, send him to train in the states maybe take some learning fights over there & IF & it is a big IF he still wants it after that go the classic route of British, European, then start working on the top 10/15 in world.I have spoken to the lad at York Hall & he seems a nice well balanced guy he just needs that firm hand on the tiller

No wonder Warrren protects his fighters to such a ridiculous level when you get such a negative response from fans, probably the very same who moan about uncompetitive matches :roll: .

Thankfully Hennessy hasn't listened to the whinging....yet.

Fury has put his money where his mouth is and delivered.....I'm fully expecting Dallas, Price, Larry O etc to be tested in their 8th fights....which is : a 10 round contest against a seasoned British title contender.

I agree with Overhand....

He was beaten by McDermott initially, and though he was brave in the rematch the talk of being the next big thing - from himself and his camp - will come to nothing unless he gets with a decent trainer and gets in decent shape.

At this rate he will stay domestic level and go no further...

How many can we name?

If the desire isn't there it just isn't there. Guys who start out fat & lazy tend to finish fat & lazy.
Bah, let them be deluded and believe he is "amazing" and "he is still young" and "he will work on his cardio"
It will just be funnier when Fury loses to McBride or some other fat slob on national level.
