Serious? I just listened to an interview with Frank from about an hour ago where he said the undercard is as announced. I don’t rate Romero as opponent anyway but jeez!

Agree, he's in decent shape for him. Genetics have just given him the biggest set of love handles ever to mount the heavyweight throne, which he'd have even if he had AJ levels of body fat

I’d imagine the other senior guys at Top Rank are looking forward to him completely stepping aside. He’s put his foot in it plenty over the last 18 months.

Bob’s also now not coming over to the U.K. for the fight due to covid.

I think it will be Fury who things are not well with more than Frank. Frank is desperate for Tyson to stay signed to him and will do anything Tyson says for the privilege. Rightly or wrongly Fury won't stand for Kinahan getting slagged by Arum IMO.

It was interesting hearing Tyson being asked about Kinahan. Basically said it’s not his business so he won’t talk about it. Seemed quite awkward but it shuts it down.

Frank seemed stressed today in the couple of interviews I watched of his.

While it's fun to hate fwank, from me at least is mainly a joke, I want him to have enough money to get Joyce and DDD out, and Mabey spend more than 1000 bucks on an Ava opponent...

I also don't wanna see Whyte dragged through the courts the next year, which is going to happen unless this does surprisingly well.

If this loses 5 million, is that the end of frank? Gotta be close.

I feel like the kell brook amir Khan fight had more hype, but I could be wrong.

I like this intensity of questioning, just not to a fighter fight week. This is what promoters/MTK should be copping.

Fury is great at deflecting. Saying things like "hes not my dad" or "im not close to anyone but my wife and kids" is a pretty slick way of sounding like you are denying being close, but also not really ruling out being close... Then muddying reality with random anecdotes, like the ukrain/klitchco not being his buisness, or what the interviewer spends his moeny on not being his business. Fury is better at it than most politicians, who do relentless media training to steer interviews without dummy spitting... i wonder if fury is very media trained or just a natrual.

that said The "non of my business" when its literally your business is a bit of a laugh though...
Or the "bob can spend his money on what he wants" like bob was just donating to the Kinahan foundation, rather than it being Furys managers fees. But fuk it, keep saying stuff enough and it sounds true.

Truth is the public will give fighters a much easyer run for dealing with kinahan than they will give promoters, so fighters really just need to Not fuk up and they will be fine.
