Thanks for sharing this. A good interview. Seems like a good bloke, too.

That is a nasty looking cut. Pretty freakish accident to get a cut like that his a proper headguard on. Luke Partridge is one unlucky bugger

Usyk and his team crying like bi**hes today

Looks very clean along the edges though, no jaggedy bits, so hopefully stitched together quite well.

All that training for Ngannou?
You taking the proverbial?

So he trained hard and then put in that performance?

If that is the best he can be - do you give him a chance against Usyk then?

Sounds like Fury was given a take it or leave it ultimatum by the Saudi's for the 18 May date:

He was eating biscuits for 10 weeks BigPrecious.
He's got about 10 kids anyway.

There's a special thread dedicated to you John. You appear to be ducking it as much as you're a ducking Egan and Negus

Does the Partridge thread with Frank Grant still exist?

Pigg at his finest

No conjecture, gossip, rumour, badly researched online ‘articles’ FACTS from someone who knew John (we had the same manager at one point) and had the misfortune to spend time with him on many occasions.

Real Name:

The family name is actually PARTRIDGE not Fury.

Bare Knuckle ‘Career’:

Clearly these events are not recorded but as far as I know (and I’ve confirmed this with another Fury cohort) John was known to have a grand total of TWO organised bare knuckle fights, one was broken up by the Police, in the other both Fury and his opponent shook hands and called it a draw as they were both knackered.

Boxing Career:

NEVER scored a stoppage or a knockdown.

Beaten by a part time Rugby player.

Was ‘old manned’ in a Central Area title fight by the ancient cokehead Neil Malpass.

Was rendered unconscious for almost ten minutes by the relatively light hitting Akinwande.

He took a four year break after the Akinwande loss then made a comeback and took on Steve Garber (someone he’d previously beaten) after a decent first round he was systematically outboxed for two rounds before throwing his arms up in surrender and returning to his corner.

Sparring Stories:

He came over to John Celebanski’s gym in Bradford to spar with the aforementioned Steve Garber (this was after their first fight, before the second) Steve suffered a badly cut lower lip after two rounds and curtailed the sparring. MIDDLEWEIGHT Frank Grant asked if he could do a few rounds with Fury. Fury most insulted that a mere Middleweight would dare spar with him went in heavy, the sparring was ‘heated’ to say the least and Frank absolutely battered Fury for two rounds.

In the changing room Fury starts muttering about ‘not being fit/thought he was sparring a heavy/wife had a ‘babby’ due/he’d had a long drive from Haslingden etc etc’ Grant told him to ‘shut his mouth’ (or similar) Fury makes some noise about ‘taking it outside’

You didn’t say that to Frank Grant.

Fury leaves the building Grant follows him outside stripped to the waist in the pouring rain and starts screaming at Fury to fight him, Fury gets in his van muttering about being knackered from the sparring, once again evoking his heavily pregnant wife and the impending ‘babby’, Grant kicks the van door tries to open it, Fury drives off.

I didn’t see this sadly BUT I do have it on good authority from numerous people who witnessed it, Fury went to Leeds to spar with Tom Collins and Carl Gaffney, LIGHTHEAVY Collins knocked him clean out wearing 16oz gloves.

By way of conclusion Gypsy John Partridge (it’s true I swear) is a liar, fantasist, bully and NOTHING like as hard as he would have you believe.

If Fat Mick has any sense, he’ll keep John well away from press conferences, cameras, interviews etc.

Usyk playing it cool as ever :

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/68216146

genuinely unflappable isn't he. His class just makes Fury's antics all the more embarrassing. I think most Brits will be backing Usyk.

Reading that Fury as a 10 million pound forfeit clause for the Usyk fight. If he pulls out he has to pay 10m to the Saudi backers

If he doesn't pull out, maybe he could donate the £10,000,000 to charity.

I think the money goes to charity

he's good at forgetting to donate promised to charity.

I hope this happens on the 18th of May, I really do. I have a feeling it won't.
