Being nosey ,,, please enlighten
Fury turned up looking for sparring, looking to beat up on smaller guys. Grant jumped in, he didn't care for no one, ended up hammering Fury and Fury jumped out.
Then he starts saying that he wasn't fit/injured etc and could hammer Grant on the cobbles if he wanted
So they went outside in the pouring rain but by the time Grant got his top off Fury had legged it to the car and sped away complaining he had just had a baby


Who is Frank Grant?

Frank Grant was a come forward hard man whose best win was against Herol Graham, becoming the only British fighter to beat him.

Real Name:

The family name is actually PARTRIDGE not Fury.

Bare Knuckle ‘Career’:

Clearly these events are not recorded but as far as I know (and I’ve confirmed this with another Fury cohort) John was known to have a grand total of TWO organised bare knuckle fights, one was broken up by the Police, in the other both Fury and his opponent shook hands and called it a draw as they were both knackered.

Boxing Career:


NEVER scored a stoppage or a knockdown.

Beaten by a part time Rugby player.

Was ‘old manned’ in a Central Area title fight by the ancient cokehead Neil Malpass.

Was rendered unconscious for almost ten minutes by the relatively light hitting Akinwande.

He took a four year break after the Akinwande loss then made a comeback and took on Steve Garber (someone he’d previously beaten) after a decent first round he was systematically outboxed for two rounds before throwing his arms up in surrender and returning to his corner.

Sparring Stories:

He came over to John Celebanski’s gym in Bradford to spar with the aforementioned Steve Garber (this was after their first fight, before the second) Steve suffered a badly cut lower lip after two rounds and curtailed the sparring. MIDDLEWEIGHT Frank Grant asked if he could do a few rounds with Fury. Fury most insulted that a mere Middleweight would dare spar with him went in heavy, the sparring was ‘heated’ to say the least and Frank absolutely battered Fury for two rounds.

In the changing room Fury starts muttering about ‘not being fit/thought he was sparring a heavy/wife had a ‘babby’ due/he’d had a long drive from Haslingden etc etc’ Grant told him to ‘shut his mouth’ (or similar) Fury makes some noise about ‘taking it outside’

You didn’t say that to Frank Grant.

Fury leaves the building Grant follows him outside stripped to the waist in the pouring rain and starts screaming at Fury to fight him, Fury gets in his van muttering about being knackered from the sparring, once again evoking his heavily pregnant wife and the impending ‘babby’, Grant kicks the van door tries to open it, Fury drives off.

I didn’t see this sadly BUT I do have it on good authority from numerous people who witnessed it, Fury went to Leeds to spar with Tom Collins and Carl Gaffney, LIGHTHEAVY Collins knocked him clean out wearing 16oz gloves.

By way of conclusion Gypsy John Partridge (it’s true I swear) is a liar, fantasist, bully and NOTHING like as hard as he would have you believe.

If Fat Mick has any sense, he’ll keep John well away from press conferences, cameras, interviews etc.

According to Tyson in his recent Rogan interview he has just changed everything in his team, cause he was kinda tired of the routine work with previous team, what became a part of him having troubles after Klitschko bout. So it looks like, there's no bad blood in the splitting of Tyson with Peter.
