So Lauren Price has done more?

As an amateur far more and they tend to heavily reward amateur boxing. She won Olympic Gold, World Championship Gold, Commonwealth Gold. Also was a world champ as a kick-boxer and represented her country at Football.

Also, importantly, she’s got an extremely clean record and has previously dealt with the royals. Prince William gave her a birthday cake for last birthday!

I think you'll find Tyson has a very clean record.

I fully agree with you but not everyone does and I’m sure some of the people deciding who get honours don’t either.

It wasn’t a question of whether Tyson should get awarded something. I personally think he does deserve it.

It was a question of why he didn’t and unfortunately there are potentially several reasons. Lauren Price was mentioned and you would have tough task finding anything to hold against her.

Fury's past with failed drug tests and silly comments won't be an issue because he's been squeaky clean since he came back. Look at Linford Christie, he was a right cheating twat and was awarded an MBE and OBE.

I think all the lads on here would find it hard to hold anything against her!
It wasn't meant to drag Prices achievements down. Just Tyson's are a bit bigger.

maybe he doesnt even care about honours, unlike some...

banjo wrote: ↑02 Jan 2022, 06:04 What exactly does getting an honour mean other than a bunch of extra letters in your name? Does it get you any freebies? If not then what's the point?

he didn't want SPOTY so can hardly see him wanting an MBE/OBE either
