A mate of mine, who's a traveler, came to see at work today. It's the first time I've seen him since this fight was announced. After catching up and talking about our respective families, the conversation went like this.
Me: Are you going to Vegas for the Fury fight?
Him: No. Tyson'll be the only Gypsy from Britain going.
Me: Why?
Him: Coz he's the only one without a criminal record.
Made me chuckle.
Classic!

If he was fighting Kabayel I may have attended, since I will be in town.

Eff me, Fury has absolutely romped it with that ESPN deal! Good on him. Whoever is signing the cheques for that network must be a numerically illiterate nutcase. A lottery win for fighting Tom Schwartz. Crazy, easy money.

Peter Kadiru is only fighting for $1000? I think he's a salary fighter for SES as well, he's highly thought of in Germany.

Who knows. The purses listed by the US commissions aren’t always final. The bout is probably be aired in Germany, if he’s on TV there he might get more.

Thoughts on Fury's weight? 18st 11 is a fair bit heavier than his recent fights, though he looked in good nick. Trying to finally put some muscle on that beanpole frame?

Yeah, it's free to air in Germany on a regional channel which has a contract with Schwarz. Quite random.

I thought he looked fleshy around the middle and lower back.

Doesn't matter a lick now. Might when he has a heart attack or stroke in his forties.

One of the running jokes through the Alan Partridge series, alongside Alan’s past addiction to Toblerone when he was “clinically fed up” was him telling people about his “fat back”.
It always makes me think about Hillman Imp and his brilliant Gypsy John Partridge “expose”

Could be worse.
Joe Louis' lineal title was on the line against a 3-3-0 (1) opponent.
