Apparently Paul wants the rematch, so Fury will earn millions more for an easy night but where will he go.from there? Surely he ain't gonna fight for a british title for 20 grand or whatever

On last nights showing he will never get in the position to fight for a British title.
I had Fury winning comfortably last night but if he was half way to being decent he would have done a demolition job on Paul. Paul for all his talk is what he is (a YouTuber who is a complete novice to boxing).
Fair play to both though, they’ve both made millions from something where there skill set would not earn them a £10.

Tommy is never going to get close to even the British title, but has earned more than a lot of genuine boxing champions.
Will he avoid the proper challenges of guys who can actually box or go the KSI route and face much lesser challenges for much bigger money?
The longer he carries on pretending to be a boxer the more risk his value on the celebrity scene diminishes.
So anyone outside British champions aren’t boxers? He’s about where he should be for his experience. Obviously he will take the celebrity route, he would be mad not to. That fight was easily the highest profile in the world this year. Is he going back to York Hall to prove himself?
I know he's a Fury .. but considering his true fighting man pedigree .. he really is gash isn't he
What exactly have you misread where you think I've said anyone outside of British champions aren't boxers?
Quite bizarre that Mick .. but Tommy is half brother to Tyson Fury so I can see how that will have altered your eyesight some ..

How original using Tyson to try bother me. You clearly don’t watch any boxing other than tv if you think Tommy or Paul are anything other than average 8 fight boxers.

Before last night, his biggest win, he was 30th of 107 active boxers in the uk according to Boxing News. How many are 'Gash'? 90?

It's not like you to be defending a Fury's honour on BoxRec. I knew before I even clicked on it that you would be supporting Tommy. But you're never biased, I get it.
I must have been the only one on a hardcore boxing forum to have been expecting an 8 round typical fight… everyone seems disappointed it wasn’t on a Leonard v Hearns 1 skill level.
Also Keith, you’re not alone. I usually know exactly what you’ll write, too.

I never quite said that and aren’t interested in arguing with you. I’m surprised you didn’t see the fight for what it was.

I didn't watch it, so I could I 'see it for what it was'.

Here’s a tip in case you do. Don’t expect a top level elite match. Or an Olympian in his first 8 rounder.

For someone of such esteemed fighting stock who been laying out sparring partners left and right with his dynamite power punching he is gash..
For a novice boxer he is reasonable and normal I'd say.

Unfortunately it being a big success will just create more and more of these “fights”. I find it all cringy that Fury’s team were celebrating like he just beat Canelo,. Laughing all the way to the bank
A 10000 sell out crowd, no two ways about it, it is going to change boxing. If it gets rid of one sided fights and mismatches because all people want to see are two evenly matched fighters then that's good.
No-one wants to watch a 60-54 fight ever again - the sooner boxing realises this then the sooner the sport can be saved.
The answer then is to make pro fights more equal in ability, not overpay and idolise YouTube stars in place of them. All this does is create more and more fake celebrity grudge matches. For me if they want to do it then fine but when they start calling them great fighters and paying them life changing money it just feels like a big money spinning scam.
Yes, you agree with me hence your first point.
Secondly, people want evenly matched fights which is why folk tuned into watch Fury vs Paul instead of Mayweather fornicating around in the exhibition - more skill was shown in half a round of that fight than the whole eight rounds of Fury vs Paul but so what?
Who's calling them 'great fighters'? I haven't heard anyone say that about them.
If people want to pay money to watch them then what's wrong with that?

(What is the recent trend for mentioning Paris Fury about?)
Oh my, you're in for a treat.
It was recently revealed on Boxrec, that the reason Tyson Fury is not motivated to take on Usyk and possibly go down in history as the first to unify the HW titles since Lennox Lewis is because......*drum roll*....Usyk is not much bigger than Paris Fury.
Tyson Fury honestly views him as no real challenge because the man is not much bigger than Tyson Fury's wife.

I'll tell you what, going in Love Island was a masterstroke from Tommy, he'd have never had got this fight if he wasn't a reality star
He would have got a Steve Wood ticket deal like everyone else.
