Any idea who will be in his corner, pal?
I did say on some other threads he was back training at his old gym just keeping his head down and when I spoke to him he lost a lot of weight, up to now he's still with his uncle but for how long I don't no it might be 6 months or two years but I do no 100% that he's sick of him and wants rid

Posted 2 hours ago. Could be anything with Fury but what do we reckon his news is?
He should retire and stay retired. He's too much of an unstable character. The only fight that would appeal is a vlad fight if he beats Joshua. People wouldn't have the patience to watch him fight a bunch of stiffs to get a ranking back. He was in a prime positon and just chucked it away. Most people will just roll their eyes at anything he does or say's from here on in. The heavyweight division is a complete joke anyway these days.
He doesn't have to worry about people not being bothered about watching him as he doesn't sell anyway. He was on Chisora undercards before Wlad.
He'd make a fortune if he fought Joshua, so regardless how he gets there that would be the target if he was seriously coming back.
Its amazing how PR works in boxing these days. The Vlad vs Joshua fight is an aging fighter well past his prime years, who fought duds for year after year when he was a champion vs a virtual novice of 18 fights, who has fought absolutely no one any quality. Yet the hype machine tries to convinc fans of another narrative. Whether its Vlad vs Joshua or Vlad vs Fury or Joshua vs Fury, the heavyweight scene is in an appalling state of affairs, relying on lots of BS to sell fights.
Joshua-Fury'd do fantastic numbers because so many crave seeing Fury lose. He'd do good numbers as the underdog against anyone. But that match loses mass appeal if Joshua loses to Klitschko.
He's unfortunate in that regard, but whatever he says about racism, he lost a lot of his former fans through his own actions. He's driven people away who — if they were racist — wouldn't've supported him in the first place.
I think someone like Pulev would be ideal
Perhaps Breazeale, Takam or Dillian Whyte, that kind of opponent would do to shake of the ring rust and see where he stands, before being chucked in at the deep end.
Is Ortiz too high risk....given his recent performances? I think he could probably be considered for a comeback fight right now.
Then the world's his oyster. Wlad, Wilder or Joshua being the obvious targets
I think Fury will be more popular in his comeback. A lot of casuals loved the footage of him in Euro 16 and attempting to jump that gate at Christmas. He's a very funny guy.
Could fight anyone at all in May just to show he can get through a camp, then the clamour for him to fight AJ will be huge. Would it be possible to beat that 90,000? If it is, this could do it.
face of BT boxing. Got a feeling they will get Khan-Pacman aswell.
