http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/36152683You have to think Fury is actually speaking the truth. I don't think he gives a shit about boxing and doesn't actually enjoy it at all. He doesn't give a fuck about his PR image in the slightest even though potentially it is costing him millions over the next 5 years. You just think he is taking the easy cash whilst it is on offer and not going to change his beliefs (most of which are totally out of order in 2016) but fair play to him in some ways if he is keeping it real. So few don't sell out nowadays in modern sport and stick to their beliefs/roots.

18 minutes in and I'm in hysterics. Fury still has his red IBF belt on display refusing to acknowledge AJ as the champ. Wlad dropped an f-bomb. Then there's the first media question where the Irish radio lady must be a plant. Tyson and fat Mick look thick as thieves when she's accusing Wlad of cheating. |

So few don't sell out nowadays in modern sport and stick to their beliefs/roots. Giving too much of a shit is why Wlad couldn't pull the trigger in the first match. It's why he fought like a nit despite having an ATG laggy coach (Manny Steward RIP). Now he needs to change the habbit of a lifetime in order to win the rematch. Your onto something with the PR thing. You're thinking like Eddie Hearn. He's not leaving a penny on the table with AJ. Hearn's already name dropping AJ as SPOTY. He's also the only one with a vested financial interest in winning the award and SPOTY is something Hearn can use as leverage when it comes to negotiations with Fury and how to divvy up an 8 figure purse. Meanwhile Tyson and Fat Mick are having the time of their lives at this presser. |

Funny, always thought he was a cock but at least gave me a bit of a laugh with this stuff..  |

Looks like Ward v Kovalev fight is going to happen!
I THINK Ward wins. People forget how good a boxer he is, and while Kovalev us a beast, I think Ward will beat him on points fairly handily

Hughie Fury - Fred Kassi is listed as a 10 rounder on Warren's running order. I still like Hughie on points but not as much as earlier today when I lumped on.

*12 it was indeed 12. Hughie Fury romps to a TD after an accidental clash of heads. He really does looks a class act. |

Lack of punching power obviously an issue but that should develop a bit as he matures but he will box the ears off of most heavyweights at the minute. Last night also confirmed just how bad Breazeale is. |

Tyson Fury claims he will retire after the Klitschko fight regardless of the result.
Tyson doing Tyson things or will he Jack it in?
Personally think he gets smeared all over by Wilder and Joshua and knows it. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he does retire just so he can bang on about how he is the best heavyweight of his generation without having to prove it.

I can't stand the lumbering, horrible, bigoted moron. My views are absolutely influenced by this.

No chance he retires. He also takes Wilder to school if they fight. AJ may be a different matter though. |

Surprisingly the US media seem convinced James Degale never bet Porky Medina. Without watching every round I preferred the work Degale was doing. Degale vs Jack is a tough one to call though. Degale's old bad habit of coasting looks here to stay.
On paper it now looks like Gilberto Ramirez has the best win out of any current super middleweight.

Amazing that the only person in the whole world who thought Chisora won that fight was one of the judges. How can that happen?

Good performance from Crolla but the overhyping of Barroso after stopping a shot Mitchell was unreal.
