Fury rant on Channel 5 at Price

[john welsh]

allegedly needs to promote fury!

[jBacca]

Im assuming top man is where he bought his "shirt" and not directed at Fury.

Have to say im the same as Bacca, I neither liked or disliked Fury before this whole charade, in the past ive defended his ability and choice of oppoennt. The one thing I cant defend are his actions over the past 3/4 days. He's come accross as a right tool. Pressure on Hennessy now to get Fury a decent opponent for December.

It doesnt show boxing ina great light either, and should the fight occur we really need a strong security team there to ensure the sport isnt tarnished. Hard enough to get boxing venues full as it is without having a 1970's football reputation tagged onto big fights.

Robert Smith has said the BBBoC are looking into it all.

Fury is a tit

Fury promotes himself! His antics and remarks make more of a splash than a poster or advert.

Can you imagine how hostile the crowd will be should the fight happen. Scousers and gypos wont mix well.

It's a route back for Audley! Have him fight Fury in Liverpool and for once the crowd will be behind him!

[oliverfennell]

Not sure why anyone is saying it's funny, much less "comedic genius". I'm all for a bit of trash talk but essentially saying "you're gay and I'll knock you out" is about as creative as a Charlie Zelenoff response vid.

Yeah because Manchester is a million miles away

The obvious point I was making was that Fury will be such a villain if he fights in Liverpool after his trash talk against Price and Bellew, thus the fans there will be rooting for anybody - even Audley Harrison - to knock him out.

Well, exactly. Tyson Fury made a right prat of himself. And I don't see how anybody can see it differently.

Exactly...and it seems he's hell bent on continuing to make a prat of himself too.

Fury carrying on with all the twitter abuse. Getting quite nasty now and he's coming across as a tit. Eddie Hearn the latest in his sights.

They say boxing doesn't build character, it reveals it. Both Price and Fury have revealed a lot about their character this past few days.

I've never really liked nor disliked Fury. He's come across both well and poorly in the past. This whole chirade is turning me heavily against him. There's nothing funny about his tweets, just a bunch of swear words he keeps rearranging for his deluded fanbase's sake.

I was a big fan, he's gone down a lot in my respect because of this last few days, there banter and then there is abuse.


I was always a price fan to boot

[IRLangmaid25]

Price tweeted in reply:

"It's a great feeling to defend your British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles.

"It's even harder to succeed when you're fitting bathroom suites day in, day out.

"But when you've got Tony Bellew at home looking after you, it makes it that bit easier."

Even if they do row about the football!!.

Handsome Eddie owning him though...thus making Tyson Fury look an even bigger idiot than what he obviously is.

Especially with this little beauty after copping a right load of abuse.

@Tyson_Fury hold on..I'm just going to get my kids to translate that..I'll be right back..

But that’s what’s funny about it.

Come on Oliver, you can't say you didn't find his rant the slightest bit amusing? I mean he's hardly the second coming of Peter Sellers. It's not the Homophobia or his tepid threats of violence, it's the fact that he's such a fool and that he looks like a teenage Japanese skateboarder.

That's not the same thing as him being a comedic genius. Bottom line is, he made a right tit-head of himself. Granted the best thing to do with the crap he was talking is to just laugh it off, but it don't change the fact he was acting like an idiot.

I assume you're joking, but I can actually see this happening.

Lots have people have said that Harrison is finished & can't come back from this, but I heard that after Williams 1, Sprott 1 & Haye too.

He almost certainly will be back IMO & he will talk himself into a big fight of some description.

Harrison's like a massive bowel movement that you can't flush down the toilet, no matter how many times you pull the handle.

I wouldn't be surprised if Audley did come back somehow, but I think people are getting really tired of him now. And at 40, he doesn't have that much left in him, surely.

When Audley was on the BBC, he had a massive fanfare, but there were doubters almost from his debut. I was somebody who watched all those early fights, wanted him to win and posted on his forum. But plenty of fans, particularly casual ones who expected him to be fighting Lennox Lewis from his second fight, were slagging him off. He was slammed by the press for a decade, and the more obvious it got he was struggling at the professional game, the louder it got.

Yet somehow, when he fought Haye, almost everybody forgot that they'd been slagging Audley off all this time, and the PPV sold to a lot of homes. People suddenly thought Audley had a chance of winning, for some reason. When he didn't, people felt let down by Audley again. And now this Price beating has basically underlined that even part-time fans aren't going to be fooled by him any more. (God knows why they were fooled in the Haye fight, let alone now.)

Saying all that, I think because he's so used to people slating him, he won't listen and will return for one more final final comeback. Let's hope it's not Tyson Fury on Channel Five, because that would undo the novelty of boxing being on terrestrial television for a lot of people.

It would mean he'd fought on BBC, ITV and Channel Five though.

Agree oliver. I found it funny in same way as jeremy kyle "guests" are funny.

Where has the plumber thing come from, has tyson just made that up?

Where has the plumber thing come from, has tyson just made that up?

A few years ago (pre lottery funding I think), Liverpool City Council sponsored/gave jobs to amateur boxers Price, Smith and Bellew.

Reading between the lines they were just sponsored by the council, but to be politically correct they had to say that they also worked for the council - Price was described as an apprentice plumber (although I am not sure how much "work" they did ?).

[mourneman]

Nobody should be surprised by anything Fury does, he is as mad as two spoons, what about him bringing his own 'security' to the Chisora press conference, classic.

Never heard that one before. Every day is a school day.
