Worried before the fight about Peter Fury's absence?

Post by dookus »

Well, I was too, and it turns out this wasn't lost on Uncle Peter either:

This may be a problem for any future Fury fights in the US, seeing as his trainer's going to struggle to get a US visa (unless he hires Lionel Hutz or something) and he's too stubborn to listen to anyone else

Peter fury says it was incompetence on behalf of some of the team (presuambly hennessy's men) that prevented the visa waiver being granted so he thinks it would be ok in the future. He must have been having kittens the way that fight went last night.

I take it that according to this thread that people are blaming Clifton Mitchell for Tysons performance ? That is ludicrous coz I have always held the view that the trainer is only as good as the boxer I may be wrong but if the boxer chooses not to listen or isnt up to the job the easiest person to blame is always somebody else and in this case that seems to be what has happened

I would have thought it was the years as a Category A prisoner that prevented the visa.

He has no chance of ever getting a visa to the US if he has been inside.
