And now I know if was Tyson's brother, I'm wondering if the fat guy next to him who was calling out someone in the crowd was his Dad. As you say, hitman, there's going to be hell when Fury gets knocked out. It's going to be mental.

It just gets better. So we've got:-
Fury's brother who got annoyed with McDermott so threw a programme at him during the fight.
Fury's Dad who tried starting a fight with someone in the audience.
And the 3rd guy, either a Fury fan or someone linked with the Fury's, who attacked another man after the fight (while he had a group of friends behind him, for support).

To be fair to fury's dad, the other guy was doing just as much gesturing etc - not too sure who started it!
When you watch the so called Gypsy bare knuckle fighting it is a complete joke and I mean joke with a capital J. They are just braggards and big mouths most of them and I would include the whole Fury clan in that and his dad John was nothing special in the ring or on the street. Just youtube it if you dont believe me and look at Jaws Ward....total sh!t and the other guy from the 80's/90's Dan Rooney...even worse.
I remember at the Kenna vs. Francis fight, on the undercard was Henry Castle and some of his fans are right morons, Mike Goodall announced the fight will be delayed for a few minutes as the doctor was back stage attending a previous fighter.
An idiot proceeded to launch his programme at Mike Goodall and shout obscenities. Mike (a hidden gem, always quick and good for a laugh) proceeded to belittle the guy in front of the crowd for objecting to a fight being delayed due to lack of medical staff, announced this is boxing and not football and called security over to turf the guy out.
There definitely seems to be something a little unsavoury about all this, I was a bit surprised at the article in boxing monthly, which was little more than a vehicle for Fury's father to tell us all how hard they all are.
Seems he slated off Mclean and Shaw ...shame Lenny is now dead hey he may well have had an answer to that (aside fomr the fact he is 20 years older than furys father)
As for being proud of having violent convictions that just about sums up the mentality Im afraid.
Thought they have come accross badly so far and they continue to do so.
This wont work in Tysons favour so maybe some of his family can use their brains before opening their mouths, it may actually assist Tyson boxing career.
its a shame really as my nephew likes tyson fury and i have told him i will bring him to a show, but if all this is going on will have second thoughts now.
