Tyson Fury plans to become a qualified doctor after boxing career

[Ruthless-RKO]

Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he intends to pursue a career in medicine once his boxing career is over.

"I had a choice and I chose boxing first but, after boxing, I am going to be a doctor," Fury told The Sun. "I made that decision a few years ago. I am going to be a doctor and I am going to help people.

"When I have finished in a few years, I'll still only be in my early 30s. Then I'll study for the next seven years to be a doctor.

"If I'm 40 and a qualified doctor, I'm still a young doctor. That is what I intend to do. I studied very hard at school but I turned to sport because that was my calling - and I've got to the highest level in that.

"Whatever I put my mind to, I do well. I think doctors and nurses do a fantastic job, they're underpaid and without them we'd be in a lot of trouble."

Fury has had issues involving mental health and his weight since he defeated Klitschko in a shock points win in Dusseldorf. However, the British fighter insists he is back to his best after a long period of inactivity.

"I can't say exactly how much I've lost, but I've lost a small person," joked Fury. "It's more a case of mindset than the physical work. If you want to do it in your mind, you'll do it. There's been no rocket science, just dedication.

"Losing weight is not a quick fix, it's a lifestyle change but training is very good for mind and body. I'd recommend it to anybody.

"But even in the past, I was very inactive and it's mostly been weight-loss camps before fights. I should set up a boot camp to get people's weight off. A reality TV show perhaps?

"I don't think I'll get affected by ring rust. I feel as sharp as a razor, fast as a laser."

Tyson is as mad as a jar of pubes! Good luck to him though.

I thought travellers all left school early before exams etc...?

If he genuinely wanted to do it he would probably just set aside 100-200k and get the best tuition at a good college that would want the publicity of him graduating so would make it easy for him. Ain't gonna be cheap but he'll have a few quid to spare at that stage I'm sure.

Won't happen.

End of thread.

This is awesome.
He'd be an amazing GP.
All the travellers that came to my school generally only came for dinner. They would turn up about 11 and fornicate off by 1.
There was one lad who was in the last year when I was in the first year. He was fornicating massive and had 1950s style ginger hair and a full on mans beard.
He would literally turn up at about 12 in a horse and trap thing and park it in the staff car park. You could see him arriving from the Maths block.
He made no effort with uniform. He'd habitually wear a grey and burgundy, horizontally striped sweater, grey trousers and black winkle pickers. Massive belt buckle obvs.
All the teachers were scared of him and whilst we would get detention for just trying to get in the staff car park, they'd all look the other way as his horse shit everywhere.
He became a surgeon.
A tree surgeon.
Well, he badly cut trees down and didnt take the mess away.

The first Gypsy in space

[CharlesListon]

In 1995 he charged me £20.
He hadn't grown since school but was still imposing.
He had scant regard for health and safety and no PPE.

All true. His name was Freddy. He lived on the site where Tony Docherty the former pro lived. Tony's Dad was the King of the Gypsy's in the area. There was two static sites in the town and another two about 20 odd miles away down in Cardiff. Since leaving school I got to know a lot of the travellers well, through boxing. Some top lads.
I think Freddy and his family were of a lower status.

[CharlesListon]

Tyson has ADHD I reckon

100%.

What's happened to his voice as well?

On a serious note though, if he does have ADHD, and he gets medicated, it’ll help him focus much more, and in assuming he’d get an excemption?

I never doubted the validity of the story mate. I remember having to train once outside on a Saturday, a lot of the boxing gyms shut in the afternoon and I was having a fight soon so needed to train. Me and my trainer rocked up near this open space, we didnt realise there were a load of caravans nearby. Literally within a few minutes, like a swarm of bees they were round us watching me do the pads. Then one geezer comes over with a roll of cash (I swear to you) asking if I fancied fighting one of their boys.

My trainer (who was a little more street wise than myself when it came to gypsies) politely declined and told them I had a fight and couldn't afford to get cut but maybe next time.

Must admit I was a little worried, more so about my car. I drove a micra at the time (which I couldnt afford to be broken into or stolen etc) and one of the kids was sat on the bonnet, when I said get off he stands on the bonnet, pulls his pants down round his ankles and showed me is intestines! Sounds like a clip out of snatch I know!

Very wise not to get involved. There has been a few contests like that around my way over the past few years, with some big money put down. I went to the Derby once in about 2006. The travellers set up camp on the right hand side as you go into the course. They had lads all along the routes to the course, charging people a fiver a time to park their cars on land that they could have parked on for free, but the best bit was the arranged fights. All of a sudden they set up a ring with scaffold poles and rope and swarm around and watch two or three fights.
We were firmly told we couldn't watch, so fucked off and watched it from a slight hill the other side of the racetrack. Couldn't see much, but there looked to be a couple of half tidy fights.
A lot of the stuff you see on Youtube is shit though.
