Just listened to an interview from Tyson from earlier today on IFL.
He looks like he’s lost quite a bit of weight - much slimmer facially and he was also quite negative about the AJ fight. He said he won’t sign the contract until he’s got money in his pocket. It may just be more Fury BS but if it is true then it certainly won’t help the fight get made.
It sounds like he’s got some problems happening in the background and also said that he won’t ever fight in the U.K. again.
Anyone got a link?
It’s on the IFL page on YouTube - easy to find.

I’d been watching fury on his insta, out running, training looking motivated. Now he’s came out saying he’s back on the booze and won’t fight in the U.K. again. He doesn’t think AJ fight is next or imminent.
So much changed in a few weeks.

I think he was taking the piss with the stuff about being on the booze.

A couple of weeks ago he stripped off and dipped in the sea and looked well out of condition .

Now that I look at his instagram page he’s deleted most of it except the pic you mention and a couple others. He does look out of condition I agree. Strange stuff.

He is all over the place, one week he says he's great and motivated, the next not. Hard to know what's serious and what's not. He's smarter than I used to think and can play people, but at the same time seems generally a bit weird and bipolar too

Another great boxer who's prime years are passing him by .
I don't get a good feeling for the Joshua fight happening .

Their getting ready to shaft the public - it looks clear to me.
Watch out for an announcement that its signed - but both will have an interim fight first.

I think it was one of those interviews where he just wasn't interested, probably would have been better to have said no to doing it. It's gone down like a lead balloon.
He did say some odd things though, which is not unusual for Tyson, but it does raise concerns.
Saying Vegas is his new home, he'll never fight in the Uk again and he wants money in his bank before he signs up for Joshua. Then he mentioned giving Wilder the trilogy. He openly said a lot of stuff is going on in the background. He doesn't sound a happy camper at all, but he has his ups and downs so we have to take it all with a pinch of salt.
He did look drawn in the face to me, like he was ill.
I personally think he's seething over not getting a fight in December which was down to his promoters being greedy.

Sounding like Fury's #shat it, surely Joshua's privvy to negotiations so if Fury is playing mind games, who against, the public??
Just get the fight made ffs

Tyson doesn’t Sh!t it from anyone. It really wouldn’t surprise me if he goes for a warm up.

Agreed with him looking drawn in the face. I took it as he’s being training hard but has potentially been overdoing the cardio side of things given how strong he looked being heavier in the Wilder rematch.
Of course I’m only guessing!

Tyson needs an interim fight - it increases his chances of beating AJ significantly. He shouldn’t even worry about getting paid for it- the extra % he’ll get by going into the AJ rematch as the winner will more than offset any lack of earnings for a tune up fight.

He only lives up the road from me and I saw him out on his racing bike a good few times last summer, so he is, or has been, doing a fair bit of cardio but I think his diet strategy may be more to blame for his look and his mood.
To me he seems like one of those drawn, testy, frail looking ketogenic diet advocates. Keto is great at helping civilians take the weight off but it's not good for athletes. He'd fill out in the face and his mood would brighten if he took a few more carbs in.

He was supposed to fight in December, but he wanted too much money. Then he said yesterday he doesn’t want to fight behind closed doors. He is not going to have any kind of interim fight at a discounted rate - it doesn’t matter if he is earning £100m for AJ. It’s just not going to be something he will be willing to do.

Aye fair enough but he talks more sh1t than anyone in boxing, said he'd fight Whyte then changed his mind, his resume bar Klitschko and Wilder is mediocre and he's never made a single title defence, if he wants a tune up then fine but don't talk bollocks then blame the other side,

Not quite accurate their. Undefeated Del, Wlad in Germany, Wilder twice in America. What more do people want? Everyone knows he’ll fight AJ, no problem, but he won’t let the piss be taken out of him. I’d do a warm up bout.

Tongue in cheek from Tyson. Printed as fact by The Sun.
