Will they let him box while he is pregnant?

Congratulations Tyson ... it's a straw-weight

Seems like a fudged deal to me. I cringed when I saw Tyson on You-tube before the hearing, talking about suing them (UKAD) for loss of earnings because I immediately thought they aren't going to find him not-guilty now after he's said that, and open themselves up to lawsuits which they would then be in no position to defend.

It seems this is the outcome designed to cover all the bases, and although it's a dog's breakfast, as a fan I'm quite happy. All I want is to see the best fighters free to fight, and although Tyson looks anything but a top fighter at this moment, I'm confident he will be motivated to get in shape to relieve that upstart weight-lifter of the title Fury never lost in the ring.

Welcome back big fellah.

The countdown just started until the next Fury mishap that keeps him from getting in the ring. To me, he clearly is a troubled person that needs some professional help. I don't believe he will ever get back inside the ring again.

[asdfjkl]

I hope Rico Verhoeven can make him champion of the world again, that would be an amazing story

I could see it being similar to Ali's comeback in that I could see Fury winning a few easier fights before losing to the guy that has come along in his absence.

The more I think about it the more it seems that Tyson Fury's biggest talent is his ability to foster self-belief and get inside his opponents head and do some pre-fight damage. As funny as it seems he does model himself on Ali.

Alas, as we saw with McGregor, that approach can only get you so far. I would love to see Fury fight Price, but I know he won't. He'll avoid him like he was Harvey Weinstein. He knows only too well that Price won't buy the bullshit and could spark him out cold. They both know it.

Price fights like he's scared of his own shadow these days. He ain't beating nobody of note ever again.

David Price has had obvious fear of the unknown/ confidence issues, and who wouldn't after his recent form. However, when he is in there with a known commodity like Fury, most of these issues will become irrelevant.

Besides, if Price is so shot, what better fight (known name/all UK) for Fury to re-estabilsh himself? It should be a walk in the park for a fighter of his talent, shouldn't it?

I'm nit the biggest a fury fan. But fury could step into the ring with Price right now when he is obese and still win.

The best heavyweight of his era, Muhammad Ali (who was 25 years of age at the time), was stripped of his world heavyweight title and had to endure an enforced 3½ year layoff before making his ring return, with a view to recapturing his world title against a new generation of fighters that were perceived to be better than himself.

The best heavyweight of the current era, Tyson Fury (who was 27 years of age at the time), was stripped of his world heavyweight title and will have to ensure at least a 2½ year layoff before making his ring return, with a view to recapturing his world title against a new generation of fighters that are now perceived to be better than himself.

Both men were unbeaten at the time at the time of their hiatus, both adopted an unorthodox fighting style, both men were extroverts, both garnered significant attention from the media, both were highly controversial public figures, both held deeply religious beliefs, both men were unusually large for their division, both faced significant problems outside of the ring and both men openly admitted to struggling to maintain their ideal weight.

The parallels are abundantly obvious and undeniable, even if it is possible to claim that one persons' situation was slightly more severe than the other.

Sure brah.

Just look how they both did against Christian Hammer, Fury toyed with him until he quite, while Price struggled until gassing and getting KOed.

Plus Fury dropped him in the AMs with headguards on while only a teen (much less experienced than Price). Since then Fury has won comfortably at a much higher level than what Price keeps getting KOed at. And if Fury can handle Wlad's power, he can handle Price's. Levels dude, no way Price can win.

David Price has had obvious fear of the unknown/ confidence issues, and who wouldn't after his recent form. However, when he is in there with a known commodity like Fury, most of these issues will become irrelevant.

Yes it would be, it was a walk in the park for Teper who isn't half as good as Fury. Fury would toy with him, probably drop him, and stop him. I wouldn't be shocked if Price failed to even land a jab.

If they pick Price that's fine for an easy comeback, if they pick someone else that's also fine.

Fury gained 10 stone in weight and went on a 2 year bender,that's the difference.

[jamamb]

ppl get so up tight when comparisons are made btwn fighters of different levels, but reality is there can still be clear similarities , as there are some here with fury and ali.

for another example lets say some guy throws rolling left hooks. its perfectly reasonable to note how dempsey did the same. its not a comparison in ability or resume ffs!

[geronimo]

Glad to see his comeback, i like him as a boxer and is a funny guy (hoping he will not speak about politics or society).

You can't deny there are significant similarities though? You can pretend otherwise, but it's nigh on impossible to deny the points I've made.

If he stops sniffing blow, trains and loses the weight, he can crush wilder and Joshua.
Look what he did to klitchko.

I agree,there are,but he is in such bad shape now,it will take a massive effort to get back to fighting weigh,he may do it or he may fail and vanish into the sunset.

[Thomastearns]

It seems pretty unanimous then. Tyson Fury should take on David Price for the easiest comeback fight. The People's Champion could predict the stoppage round, showboat as much as he wants, and even conduct interviews in-between rounds in true Ali style.

Done and dusted. Isn't it?
