Hardest 70 year old on the planet!

I'll be honest. I think I could take him.

He looks and sounds like he is more interested in doing this for the TV show. If Mak is not also in "exhibition" mode and if he is actually any good - he might be worth a punt.

Fury doesn't seem to be taking it seriously.

The fight is still 2 months or so away. Did he seem to be taking Wladimir Klitschko seriously when he showed up dressed as Batman?

He had a trainer to prep him for Klitschko.

At furys age and inactivity level, any fight could be a banana skin.

Probably not, but i might have a small punt

Come to think of it, this is the John Fury emoji.

Theres needs to be a 'headbutting a teenage midget' emoji.

In the training pic I saw Tyson showed less muscle on his arms, shoulders and thighs, but fairly slim on his torso. He might train enough to regain that muscle, but at his age, that's a lot of work.
I wonder if he took a weight loss jab?

The native Free Roaming Fleetwood Wild Boar has been known to have Ozempic as part of its diet, so it could very easily be ingested accidentally by any North Western man who enjoys the delicacy.

You don't get tested when your retired.

Not yet..

If Fury wins, his fans'll have it as a good win over a dangerous monster. I'd have agreed with that a few years ago.

But should he lose, they'll say it proves he's past his best and that's why the Usyk losses don't count.

Bored by fifth retirement, Tyson Fury plans to fight into his 40s

The former heavyweight champion has been struck with fighting fever once again and will return from a fifth retirement to face Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Netflix will stream Fury-Makhmudov as the main event of a card presented by The Ring.

Fury, 37, will fight for the first time since losing a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024. And if his words end up holding weight, fight fans will be able to watch Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) for years to come.

“It’s been an unbelievable year away, but all of that becomes a bit boring after a while, and here I am, back at work,” Fury told The Ring. “I’m very happy and can’t wait to put on a show. I’m in good spirits. I’m deeply rooted and invested in the sport. I don’t think that will ever go away, even when you’re 60. Probably [I’ll be fighting into my 40s]. Roberto Duran did, competitively. Who knows? I don’t think my family will like that, but at the end of the day, if you do something you love, you don’t work a day in your life.
“I’m doing it for the love of the game. This makes me tick. Yeah, the money is good, too. I love training, and I love fighting, and that’s why I’m back at 37 years old. The great Archie Moore was defending his title well into his 40s ... if you’re a fighter, you’re a fighter, and I have proved many times that I am the fighter that I say I am.”

If Fury gets past Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KOs), a long-anticipated bout against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua could be next, if Joshua decides to continue his career after surviving a fatal car crash that killed two of his friends in December.

“I have a dangerous man in front of me [in Makhmudov] who’s every bit as dangerous as Anthony Joshua,” Fury said. “Probably a bigger puncher, I’m not sure. But equally as tough. I have a very dangerous task ahead and I have to be very careful and do my best, or else I’ll get knocked out.”

During press conference Monday in London, Fury elaborated on why he’s lacing up the gloves once again.

“I suppose the biggest turning point in this comeback, for me, was a tragedy that happened with Anthony Joshua,” Fury said. “I was on holiday with my family in Thailand for Christmas, just to get away from the rain, and then I heard all that bad news that’s gone on and I thought, ‘You know what? Life is very, very short and very precious and very fragile and anything could happen at any given moment and you should never put things off until tomorrow or next year or next week because tomorrow is not promised to nobody.’

“I came back for one reason only and that's to make boxing great again. Since I retired for the fifth time over a year ago, boxing for me has gone on a downward slope. It’s become quite boring and boxing is at its maximum potential when Tyson Fury’s actively fighting … so believe it and I’m coming back to make boxing great again.”

"I came back for one reason only and that's to make boxing great again. "

He could get hats made

They’re good ones. Mike Tyson was a similar age when he boxed Danny Williams.

Ha'way mickey, there's no way Fury loses to this lump. Besides, Tyson had a load more miles on the clock than Fury at this age.

Did he? Prison preserves people. Look at the condition of the pair Keith. You have said countless times about Fury and his love handles, etc, now you want us to think he’s in better shape than Iron Mike at that age?

That's conditioning. Miles on the clock is how much damage they've sustained. The rapist had three heavy stoppage losses and was taking a beating from Holyfield before the bite.

Tysons been beaten handily by Big McDermott and a debutant, hasn't he? Should have been stopped by Wallin and barely won a round against Usyk... go look at a photo of him from 2016-17 and tell me any heavyweight who's put their body through more.

He only out landed Usyk in one round of the rematch, so you nailed that one.

Style of fighting allows longevity as well at the top level.
A tall, long limbed fighter whose easiest way of defence is to out-jab or use their height to move away from punches will last longer in a career than a short stocky fighter whose defence is shaped around constant movement with bobbing and weaving whilst having to work more to get on the inside to deliver punches.

Are they using the old Olympic style amateur scoring now?
