Re: Fury fight off
Alexander Krassyuk of K2 promotions said of Fury's withdrawal ;
"Of course, when someone from your family is experiencing health problems, it directly falls on you. All of our thoughts are with this gentleman [who is ill], and we wish him the quickest recovery. But it seems that Mike Tyson once said that if you are a professional, you have to treat everything professionally. This means that you have to do your job to the end. Whoever you are - a boxer, policeman or firefighter. If something happens in the family, and the police officer says that because of this he will not protect people from criminals, or for the same reason a firefighter refuses to extinguish the fire - it would not be right. This is my opinion," Krassyuk said.
"Ustinov very polite person. He told me that during weigh-in - Tyson looked into his eyes and [Ustinov] saw that he was not sure of himself, and [Ustinov felt] something could go wrong. I can not criticize Tyson. He is a boxer, and he makes his own decisions for his career. But, as they say in the British media, such a solution considerably undermines self-respect. I fully knew that this fight would not be easy for [Fury] because Ustinov was in good shape."

Re: Fury fight off
.....oh yes, the Irony Mike Tyson.
Re: Fury fight off
Didn't Tyson fight very quickly after his mentors death? He was a true professional early days before he was spoilt rotten.
Re: Fury fight off
Just checked he fought 3 days before his death and 9 days after.palooka wrote:Didn't Tyson fight very quickly after his mentors death? He was a true professional early days before he was spoilt rotten.
Also still no tweet from the furious one
Re: Fury fight off
His origin?DavidPayne wrote:I didn't describe him as that, but he is more loose limbed than one would presume based on his stats and origin.
So it's not just the boxers that are stiff in belarus then?
I've got a vision in my head of everyone in belarus walking round the shopping centres like ed 209 off robocop.

Re: Fury fight off
I hold the view that such things are his personal business. If he wants to come out, fine, more power to him. Such bravery should be celebrated. But if he wishes his private life to remain private, that's fine too!mullenman wrote: hope he comes out soon

when people are paying their hard earned cash to watch him fight and pulls without any real explanation questions have to be answered...he was the main attraction and without the paying fans the bills would not be paid..

Well, there's one person who can parse my sense of humour, I suppose I should be grateful for small mercies.

Re: Fury fight off
It has been explained, Hughie went into hospital for an operation, a blood clot developed in his leg, it spread to his arteries and he's now in a critical condition in intensive care. That's from a statement put out by Peter Fury 3 days ago.mullenman wrote:Datsue wrote:I hold the view that such things are his personal business. If he wants to come out, fine, more power to him.

Re: Fury fight off
That's the official statement, but plenty of people apparently close to the Fury family have hinted it's not the full story, which is why so many conspiracy theories are being bandied about.expe wrote:

Those people were probably lying trying to look like they were 'in the know'.

Re: Fury fight off
Cant believe fornicating idiots on here are still making fools of themselves cause they don't know the real reason
Seems like loads of people now know the truth tho ,as loads have PMed me knowing the real reason yet FairPlay out of respect have not posted it
What i find really funny tho is the Fury haters that also know the reason and won't post it because it will exonerate Fury an stop all the new hate being thrown at him since pulling out
Fury has gone up a peg in my book keeping mum an taking the flack on his shoulders rather than his family come under even more pressure than they already are with the uncle being really ill .

If loads of people knew, then someone would have blabbed by now. They would have at least made a fake profile (possibly for their own privacy if this really is that big) and posted this so called truth.
It wouldnt stay a secret for this long if multiple people knew, it just doesnt work like that in reality, especially if it is not damamging to his character and would actually 'exonerate' him. And exonerate him from what exactly, pulling out of a fight because a loved one is critically ill? I dont think anyone needs exonerating from such things!
