I don't reckon you would get much change from 30K for a return flight and that would just be for Whyte travelling alone
Depending on the craft £20-30k for that distance.

Sounds about right all in. I just got a quote on a return flight from Lisbon to London for £16k +VAT using www.aircharter.co.uk. Hawker 400XP up to 7 passengers.

Lol at the number of forum members very clued up on the price of private jet travel.

Boxrec is truly the Harrods of sports forums.

Google Luke Fury and you’ll see. It’s listed as his middle name. I don’t care what someone calls themselves personally. One of the best renamed himself Marvellous after all.

Well it turns out Luke is his middle name, probably, according to Companies House

That doesn’t mean that’s his birth name though, he could’ve changed it by deed poll as he was boxing under Tyson by then. There's a post on another forum from years ago where someone asks why Furys website and wikipedia have both changed his name from Luke to Tyson

That's fair enough but again it's what he uses now, that doesn't mean it was recorded as Tyson on his birth certificate, if may have been changed legally later. It isn't uncommon for people to use their middle name. I'm sure someone will dig into getting a copy of his birth certificate :OhYes:

Exactly, lots of fighters use other names, it's all nonsense. Sugar Ray Robinson's real name was Walker Smith Jr :lol:

Yeh and Barry is Kid Galahad.

Kell is short for Ezequiel.

Joshua’s middle name is Oluwafemi.

Teo’s full name is: Teófimo Andrés López Rivera

He could have be called Teofimo Rivera in the ring? Or Andres Lopez?

His wife has produced his passport? Who cares anyway? I have an uncle always called by his middle name. As said, Tyson suits boxing.

No one really cares, it's just the BS the media are spinning as to why Whyte and Fury fell out trying to create bad blood between them to sell the fight.

Hispanics usually have 4 given names and use the 1st and 3rd as their everyday name

So I think that in Teo’s case Lopez would be his dad’s surname and Rivera his mum’s and it’s customary to use the dad’s surname.

Yh makes sense. There’s a lot of similar cases like this with other people too.
