[SAPFO]

Have I missed something or is this current?

What's the story here and why does it matter about sparring gloves?

Watch the video

I did. 11 minutes I'll never get back.

[nfc90210]

What's the short summary for those of us who don't want to watch an 11 minute video?

[SAPFO]

The videos is a not that recent I believe.

A sparring partner of Fury, Nickolas Asbury, shows you what is allegedly Fury's tampered gloves after a sparring session..

There is clearly padding missing/moved from the glove in the video..

Barry Robinson allegedly later confronts Ben Davison....who allegedly apologises.....

They assume it is to give Fury confidence.....

They assume Fury himself had knowledge of it....




The videos alludes towards the accusation that elements within Fury's team had took padding out of Fury's gloves, so that he'd damage his sparring partners, and gain confidence from it. Asbury is now retired, and has decided to post it after the death of Patrick Day, his reason is to expose the dirty side of the game.

[SAPFO]

Surprised this has not attracted more attention

Wouldn't that be essentially assault and battery?

I agree - read this earlier today and thought the same

Along with PED use, this is probably the worse thing a boxer can do - and we know his situation with PED’s

The Board and everybody else will be too scared to investigate in case they find something

It should be.

[TheGman]

This needs to be brought out in the media,this will cause mental health to the people who get punched with padless gloves,and here is me thinking fury is bringing light onto mens mental health but behind closed doors he is allegedly causing it? If true this is worse than ped use.

[coneye]

I highly doubt Tyson would think , I know i'll tamper with the glove so i can hit him harder , feel good about myself , not get a decent spar , and get given a bad name if i'm caught .. However I would'nt be suprised if an inexperienced trainer , trying to look and be clever done it , and if he did his liscence should be SUSPENDED straight away ,,

[rhino222]

all very interesting...

from the date on a pic of fury with asberry it looks like nov 2018..this must have been in camp prior to the wilder fight.

but lets think about things

1. if the gloves were furys and his camp new about it...then im guessing fury would turn up to spar with his gloves etc in a bag over his shoulder. they would not be left there for examination

2. the gloves may not have been tampered with..they may well just be 'old' and well used. sweat inside sh@gs up the padding

3. if this is genuine, why has it taken so long to surface?

[danconnollyeire]

If Fury really needs added confidence by illegally hurting sub-par sparring partners then maybe he should stay away from Wilder

[adislav123]

if anybody of fury's team had anything to do with that this has to be explained by fury himself.

that shit is the worst! sparring or not!

there's a reason for16, 18, 20 oz gloves in sparring.

THE fornicating WORST!!! IF TRUE!

if he knowingly sparred a guy with padding removed,
i cannot think of anything worse & cant imagine it is true.

if it's true he should be banned for life.

[margaret thatcher]

DOES HE KNOW WHO THE fornicate I AM

[keirw]

Not sure how much confidence Fury would gain from knowingly using tampered gloves

I also doubt that he would have left them there if they had been tampered with and he knew about it.

It all sounds a bit odd. But if someone in Fury's camp (or indeed, Fury himself) did tamper with the gloves then heads should (but probably won't) roll.

[mickey1975]

Total rubbish. I once sparred in 14oz and a guy just watching told me to get them changed.

[ALI]

Would he not be risking damage to his hands sparring with little to no padding?

Seems like a pointless exercise, cant see what he wouod gain from it, nor can i understand why he wouod leave tampered with gloves lying around for anyone to find.

Sounds like horse sh*t to me.

[margaret thatcher]

Was this sparring in the UK? Who exactly thinks of bringing in a guy like Nick Asberry anyway.

[adislav123]

the reaction from the guy in the video seemed real.

if fury sparred him wuth those tampered gloves no way they both wouldn't have felt the difference.

FURY punching must have felt those gloves where fucked with!

the guy getting punched in the face must have noticed it!

. why wouldn't he not have confronted him right away?

also davidsons reaction is weird. what is there to sort out if it's bullshit!

what sick fornicate would stage that shit to get attention and discredit fury.

but what sick fornicate would cut open & remove padding from those gloves for whatever reason?

this shit is an too fvcking serious & weird allegation to not get explained and sorted out right away!

for fvucks sake! just can't believe fury wouldn't notice the second he put on those gloves that sumthin is wrong & then go spar with them a full session!??

[adislav123]

lawrence okolie's trainer has no reason to lie. they can't really have done that shit?!

there has to be an investigation. this has to be properly handled. fornicating criminal if true! fvcking stillcant believe it!

THE WORST! fornicate that! if he really sparred with them gloves, it's unforgivable! the absolute least shite move! just the worst!

if it's a retarded publicity stunt by some mental patient, fornicate that shit too! but what would anybody get out of it?

[Delta Jay]

That’s just what happens to Everlast gloves after a week or two. When gloves are worn out like that, you start to hurt your hands more than anyone else.

Why would you try and hit harder against a sparring partner wearing a head guard, who’s not as good as you, when you have a million dollar fight to train for?

Doesn’t make any sense to me

[JimStone]

Most likely explanation is what the above poster or Rhino mentioned I.e. the gloves being worn out.

He’s does have big hands, and does land a lot, if not hard, but plenty. Very plausible.


Would a more experienced team check the glove wear more frequently?
