Didn't Dirk say hall of fame promoter Fwank was an amatuer? Ok, mate, he won't even know how to apply for a licence....

No - team Fury having not been in contact with the board for over a month and the General Secretary of the board themselves saying Fury was a long way off getting a licence, all whilst Mick is silent and Tyson is tweeting about how he's fighting Joshua with no warm ups.

Normal people look at that and laugh. Warren isn't even Fury's promoter and he's stepping in as a third party on his behalf.

Your point?

On a British forum with a personal interest more towards heavyweights Fury is naturally going to be mentioned a lot. I dare say there would be loads of references to Joshua as well.

Like or loathe him Fury is clearly a relevant figure in discussion around domestic heavyweight boxing from a UK angle.

Didn't Fury have to have a date or fight lined up pretty soon to keep the Ring mag belt? I imagine this is why dates are being thrown about now.

RIP Amir khans comeback if Fury is put on the Belfast show.

cant see W@rren/Frampton needing Fury on the card in Belfast, ticket sales should do fine.
The London card with Flanagan will probably need the boost, I reckon there is more chance he ends up on there...

you've made over 500 posts on Fury, I don't really need to make any further point, your animus speaks for itself.

of those 500, approximately 300 say pretty much exactly the same thing.

Fury needs a fight announced this month or he'll be stripped.

There's obviously the issue of who the opponent is. There seems little doubt he'd not be realistically able to defend the Ring title against Gary Cornish.

Agreed, half of them probably wouldn't stick around for Flannagan's title fight too lol

1) Fury doesn’t have a license
2) Fury is fat
3) Fury is homophobic
4) The Klitschko fight was boring

Did I miss anything?

IF he comes back, and that's a big IF, I could see his return fight being against Kamil Sokolowski. Someone who's durable enough to give him rounds without really troubling Fury.

theres all sorts of suitable comeback opponents they could find who dont have 4-12 (1) records. i assume his comeback wont be a free streamed small hall fight like 'dont call it a 5th comeback' price vs kamil was

Joshua should front Fury with the line from the movie Love Honour and Obey ...

He does look better (not easy to tell as he's dressed in black). Anyone want to hazard a guess at current weight? 21st maybe?

He's looking a lot slimmer, however, if he's lost that much weight that quick, he'd have to be starving himself whilst training, no way can you healthily lose 7 lbs a week. You would be shedding a lot of muscle mass.

I'd guess they are exaggerating, if not, I'd be pretty worried about his physical condition.
