Big John must be fed up, he passed on the Theo fight chasing the Mike Tyson fight, and then Iron Mike chickened out.
Can’t blame iron mike, Fury’s the hardest man in the country.
Yep , just ask him , he'll tell you ,, over and over and over again
Must be true then.

You gotta be fit to fight 3 minute rounds, add to that the heat from the lights, pressure of the occasion, you can run out of puff very quickly.
Tiredness makes a coward of everyman

I’d say he’d still smash that wannabe Theo but I know a few ex fighters in far better shape at his age. They wouldn’t be shouting about it tho.

I agree, I think Tyson has had a word not to give him any more bad publicity.

It finds out a lot of people the step up from 2 to 3 minute rounds.
The evidence he needs to hang them up, and keep quiet.
To be fair to him he had. What’s a man to do when an old bodybuilder fancies it?

Don't think he looks bad at all for his age tbh, I was expecting way worse reading about it
We see boxers slowing or shot as early as late 20s and early 30s, these blokes are about twice that, I think expectations are a bit high for some strange reason?
Though I do think if they fought a winner would come down to current fitness and not who boxed better/more 30 years ago

He lives on in his own in a very posh house.
Blur?
Very good.
There using Tyson’s name relentlessly to promote this ppv, aren’t they?

Remind me then, what was the reason the old bodybuilder called him out?

Well Fury has never been a shrinking violet, nobody can accuse him of keeping quiet!

I’ve never seen so many videos of him training. Maybe he’s holding his tongue until he’s fit.
