Fury v Chisora II

Joeseph Balls

Ah lads seriously, who gives a sh1t.
He comes out under a tricolour (albeit held back to front for some reason:rolleyes:)
Does it really matter?

You can go back and forward on this all day. Fury is English. Lee has more ties and claims to Ireland I would think. The lad boxed for us in Athens. He boxed in many senior championships. We can get caught up in individual cases till the cows come home.

Fury wanted to represent Ireland at the Olympics but was stopped by authorities. He had an English and Irish crest on his t-shirts at one of the press conferences. Think he can decide his nationality for himself.
Don't think we have a lot of top quality fighters here in Ireland so I'm happy to accept Fury, Macklin, Lee or anyone else who who wants to represent this country.

Mod warning: drop this tit for tat argument around nationality. It has gone quite far enough and there is nothing to be gained from it.

Fury behaviour to be addressed by BBBoC....
What did he say at the press conference? Anyone see it?

Fury's bad language seemed to annoy a few people. One journalist pulled him up on his potty mouth and Fury basically told him to **** off. He also refused to shake Chisora's hand at the end and seemed to want to fight him on the stage. I didn't think it was worth the BBBoC getting involved. Maybe this is the straw that broke the camels back.

He's an out and out idiot, disgrace to the sport. I hope he gets spearhead clean out by Del Boy.

Fury is a living legend.

Also, Chisora is 4/1 to win by KO and Fury is 9/4 to win by decision.

Not bad odds.

Both men are very hard to take to. Not an ounce of class in either!

I will agree that Fury is pure comedy.

AFAIK himself and delboy are actually friends, this is just antics trying to create hype and sell the fight.

Find both of them hard to take. Both actually looked in decent shape there & if they look well in the weigh in it could be a very good fight

Boxnation are doing a programme on both fighters called "Before the Bell". Here's the links to both episodes:

Just noticed Chisora saying "sorry mate would have been a very good fight we get it on next month don't complain about the money you give 10,000 to your kids". You don't recover from within a month with a broken hand,so there's something dodgy going on. I was gonna go over to this when it was first announced but the price of the tickets were outrageous. Would seriously be pissed off to have booked flights and hotel and this was just a cover up for poor ticket sales.

Anyone know if Aer Lingus refund in the 24 hour cooling off period?

Ash.J.Williams

The journalist that called him out reckons he'd like him to beat chisora just to see him get battered on his next fight

Mantis Toboggan

Wow, big set back for Fury this is.
First he's had to deal with Haye running scared, twice. Now this. Not ideal whatsoever the man needs a fight.

Frank Bullitt

Fury has been sitting idle for a while now, and at this stage in his career its not good.

Joeseph Balls

He reckons on twitter he'll be fighting saturday night. I'd say with the standard of opponent he'll get he may as well stay at home.
He called out Wilder on twitter too:D

Mantis Toboggan

Got new Opponent for Saturday. Alexander Ustinov number 8IBF number 9 WBA . 29/1/22ko 6"8 tall can't wait better fight than @dellboychisora

Then he tweeted this pic to show everyone were hes ranked so they think hes not a bum.

boxer.fan

For me this fight has just got more interesting. Ustinov is vastly experienced in ring sports. He is a much better Kickboxer than Boxer. His only loss is to Kubrat Pulev, who was probably his toughest opponent. I hope he is in shape & can give Fury a decent test. If Fury can't put this fella away then he is chasing his tail.

Anyone think the Chisora pull out is anything to do with poor ticket sales? I know Eddie Hearn deleated a tweet saying "surprise surprise" but he's always likely to have a go at warren.

Good to see Tyson will fight on Saturday night

Possibly but isnt the card still going ahead. I did see offers of refunds somewhere but not sure does that still apply now Fury has a....*sigh*....fight

Joeseph Balls

Yeah, this time Fury pulls out because his uncle fell seriously ill last night. Jeez it's a complete joke at this stage.
