Just look at the picture! There's no doubt whatsoever he's coming back.

Still think he is a long way from fighting shape looking at his interview with sky.

They showed a clip of him v wlad and he was trim every where but at the moment he still looks quite lardy. He was also sweating like michael jackson outside a school compared to big daddy browne who didnt look like he broke a sweat.

Small stepa but i think were a good few months from a full return.

I think it's more than that Gil, to drop that amount in a relitively short time takes a lot of dedication. The endorphins involved in that amount of work should have him a lot happier in the head too.
Let's face it, love him or hate him, the slim pickings at HW means we need him in there to continue the momentum.

Anybody got any sources regarding a deal or just guessing?

Was there a video on of the sparring?

No doubt he's shown dedication to getting himself back into good physical condition, and yes the division does need him apparently. I just wish he'd get on with a fight announcement at the very least already.

I don't expect him to be fighting anyone unreasonably dangerous after such a long layoff either. I just wish we'd hear a fight announcement, and the ongoing will he/won't he crap will finally come to an end.

His biggest problem is'nt going to be weight , Alls he needs to do is get a good dieticen , stick to the diet and train hard , and just don'nt fight till he's fit ,, The biggest problem is that he's not with Peter , and he has'nt gone to a top trainer , getting your mate to fly to Spain with ya , and come hold the pads is'nt going to be enough .
Its the little tweaks while he's getting the weight off , and while he's training that do the job , , Its the little BAD HABITS that develop , while your training that cause you to become unstuck,,

Eubank JNR is a perfect example ., , who is telling him to straighten his jab , who's telling him to get the back heel up ,who's telling him how to get more reach out of his punches , Who's telling him he telegraphs his punches with his feet . which enabled Groves to spot the punches before they were thrown , .

Tyson is boxing at world level , ELITE world level , he needs a trainer who is a world level , proven coach , not a mate , who is gonna be OK at shouting at you , to make you do a few more sit ups , remember , practice does'nt make perfect .......... PERFECT practice makes perfect , And for that you need a coach who will spot any and every mistake you make in training , that takes EXPERIENCE .

Yeah it's a good point. Now he's shed the majority of the excess weight he needs the trainer situation sorted so the work can begin in earnest

I'm not saying he doesn't need an experienced trainer but Tyson does all those things naturally as he's been boxing from such a young age. Jr doesn't have it ingrained in him.

:salut: I'll say again coneye, I really enjoy reading it when you take the time to describe the technical details in training and fights, cheers. I've been going nuts over Eubanks bent armed jabs at his pad man every time I've seen it, it's like nails on a blackboard. Meanwhile if you watch BJS throw a jab even light heartedly he gets full extension.

I agree that you can't exactly compare Eubank and Fury for the reason you give Mickey, but I've always had the impression with Tyson that there are things he doesn't do perfectly but he's has got away with (and may not get away with forever), well mostly he's got away with them, when he hasn't been getting put on his arse by cruisers or unknown Serbians. Know what I mean?

Thing is Mickey , and you would know this , bad habits are VERY EASY formed ,REGARDLES of how long you have been doing it, not major habits , but just little bad habits , which an experienced eye can spot straight away , experience you cannot buy ,
Give you an example , when i was training lads , it was a bit of a standing joke with some of them , don't eat a donut he will know , the lads used to find it funny that with some, not all, but definetly with my top lads , I could look at them and say , you.ve put half a kilo on , they would laugh get on the scales and go, fook me he's right again , it was just experience of working with them for years , i knew there body better than they did , .. Same has i could be working one lad on the pads and shout across to another , your slacking of on that bag , hit it harder , they would laugh and say how the fook do you know you've got your back to me , answer would be , i can hear it ,, it was all experience and knowing my boxer .

I'm not saying this kid is clueless , , what i am saying is Tyson needs a experienced top level coach to fight at top level , When this lad he's got training him has been around for years and trained lots of fighters to elite level then make him your coach ,, Until then you can't just say one day , i'm pretty good at getting people motivated to train , so i think i'll train a world champ , AAnymore than you can say , my mate tells me i hit hard so i think i'll become a world champ boxer ,

Only trouble with Tyson is i can't think of anyone who could really handle him , except Peter , maybee Mckracken , but thaqt is'nt gonna happen .

Will Fury have a low ranked opponent as a come back fight? I’m not so sure he will.

So How about Fury v Whyte?

As critical as I've been of Fury I'd be fairly impressed and surprised if he were to come back against an opponent of that caliber in his first fight back after such a long layoff.

Hughie is fighting Sexton on 12th May, so it won't be him.

You think Fury will sign with Hearn? I'd be surprised. I can see him going with Warren.

Hearn may be at the wind up if he knows Warren is planning something with Fury for that date...
