The Boxing thread

39 punches from the fake Fury in the whole six rounds, he’s just living off the name and is a disgrace to boxing as a sport

And he's as plastic as a rag as they come

John Fury comes across as a total dick as well, making out he's Mr angry all the time ,kicking tables over, threatening anybody who gets in his way. All a show I know, but it's just pathetic

Credibility as a supposed pro boxer has gone out the window for me regarding tommy fury

I knew he was a limited boxer, as much as that ksi bloke ducked low and clinched, fury has basically sold his sole for money - his choice like i know

But he has done a dis-service to actual boxing (and lets be honest actual boxing i thought couldnt get any lower), fury only just scraped that win and the fact he calls himself a pro-boxer is laughable

Here is where boxing needs to get itself in order - Tyson Fury, the lineal heavyweight and current WBC champion hasn't fought since April 2022 but is getting in the ring with former UFC champ Ngannou instead

The WBC should have demanded Fury fight to defend his belt, and if he refused he should have been stripped of the belt...this is the difference between UFC & boxing, the UFC govern their sport properly making fighters fight the best - no ducking or hand chosen opponents to negate a path to a title shot (which is what boxing managers currently do) boxing has shown itself as not being able to govern itself, and has only itself to blame for its current diabolical state

This current misfits boxing is only damaging the sport further, not that those involved are bothered as the money keeps rolling in

What a state boxing has become when you have one man introduced as " the undisputed Tommy Fury" versus " youtube megastar, influencer and musician "
Imagine Ali and Frazier turning over in their graves

I know its partly an act but john fury just comes across as an absolute simpleton . Just a total oaf.

The WWE model is the way forward for boxing to make big money now. John Fury is an on-screen persona designed to draw attention, and he does. Same with Tyson and a lot of his antics. Tommy is drawing on the family name and uses that well to make good money despite not having anywhere near as much boxing ability as Tyson, or personality as John.

The Logan Paul's and KSI's of this world are, again, personalities who appeal to a particular audience. Kids love them. They may actually be half-decent athletes who look after themselves, but as last night showed, boxing? Really? Adults tune into these things with a morbid curiosity to see how the car crash will unfold.

The sport of boxing is the victim here but also can only blame itself. For too long it's been quite dull as a competitive sport. Too many belts, big names dodging each other to preserve their legacy rather than booking the big fights people wanted to see. Not creating personalities that draw crowds in and become pop-culture stars (Ali, Eubank, Tyson). As great an athlete he may be, but let's be honest, Anthony Joshua is a personality vacuum.

The current promoters don't care though because they're creating a new model that makes THEM money. And lots of it.

Why?

Because they are mentally challenged.

A lot of it is on Tyson. Tommy is only there because of him and him being present ringside gives him some credibility. And 1 and a half years since he has fought a real fight is a joke.

For the whys n wherefores you cant really slag tommy fury. Earning millions for an exhibition fight. Fair play

Him n his clan are minging though
