I hope Fury wins! I think he’s great for the Gypsy/Travelling community. His wife seems lovely too.

Good luck lad!!

So pleased Usyk won, he's ace. Just as pleased that Fury lost, the comment about Usyk only winning because of the war? Anyone who has heard that comment and still backs him, embarrassing... Fury was knocked out on his feet, how did his dad not throw in the towel, watching his son only standing because of the ropes, getting continually punched in the head? Surprised the ref let that continue. Suppose its the same dad who headbutted some young lad from Usyks camp earlier in the week, an absolute tosser! Usyk showed himself as he always has, respectable. Can't stand all of Furys stupid mimicking during the match, even when he's losing 🤣

TheDuck2018 · 19/05/2024 01:34

Yeah I agree, can't believe the ref didn't stop the fight, Fury was out on his feet!

typical - not supporting your own. Unless you’re not here - makes sense

Ooohhhh. I see. Criticising someone with a legitimate view because they are not supporting their “own”. You’re one of “those”. Your user name is highly apt.

Eggplant44 · 19/05/2024 03:40

Delighted with that win. I find the Fury men disgusting.

Sorry but I think he is a rude, disrespectful and arrogant idiot and he is not worthy to be undisputed champion. I'm so glad Usyk won. I can't stand Fury and this is coming from a boxing and MMA fan.

And don't get me started about his idiotic father John Fury.

I mean those that are from the UK (not you) often slate it and slag it off and there’s no patriotic attitude. I don’t know of any countries that do this. As you’re not from the UK you wouldn’t know…. But it’s a thing!

Individual sports are different to team sports, because many of us have our favourites. Roger Federer's huge following was not just the population of Switzerland.
And anyway, "patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel" and in today's global community we can support whoever we want regardless of birthplace or passport.

LakeTiticaca · 19/05/2024 05:53

No thanks. I have no desire to watch grown adults battering shit out of each other for obscene amounts of money !!!

Tattletwat · 19/05/2024 06:23

I liked him a few years ago when he was talking about mental health but really gone off him in recent years.

For the OP saying people not supporting your country, it's boxing they are in it for their self and huge paydays it's not about country's, and if Tyson supported his country he wouldn't be fighting in Saudi.

If Tyson was a good man he would stop taking his idiot dad with him who is a bully and a coward who assaulted the smallest person in the room the other day.

Oh and OP don't say he is good for gypsy/traveller community as despite him calling hisself gypsy king he isn't a gypsy at all and I suggest you look up why maybe you shouldn't group them together.

sydsmum · 19/05/2024 06:46

Just woke to find out Fury lost. Made my day. I despise everything he stands for.

BringMeSunshineAllDayLong · 19/05/2024 07:46

skippy67 · 18/05/2024 23:44

I think you've got the wrong Tyson dear...

Oh yes 🤣.
Thinking he must be about 60!
Can you tell boxing isn't my sport.

cheesychipsontheoche · 19/05/2024 08:01

I try not to spend money on sportswashing events like this so watched a stream on Twitter for free. Usyk deserved that win and Fury is a bellend with all the grace and sportsmanship of a fried egg.

I'm sure there will be a rematch but I'd rather see Fury fighting AJ to see who's second best in the world after Usyk.

MountCaramel · 19/05/2024 09:20

Fury has taken his eldest daughter out of school hasn't he? Can't be doing with educating a young woman. The poster who criticised others about not supporting Fury as one of their one. I presume you don't have a problem with his misogynistic cultural practices.

If you watch his documentary you'll see Tyson wanted them to stay in education, it was Paris who didn't.

Fury Is an absolute embarrassment. All the mimicking and showboating and then saying Usyk only won because of sympathy for Ukraine…

Wish he wouldn’t have a chance at a rematch.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 19/05/2024 10:43

@Ciderlout

I don't think it's anything about not supporting their country when there are English people who were supporting Usyk. It's about them not supporting Fury - the person not the country . I imagine if it had been AJ in the ring people would be seeming a lot more patriotic.

He's paying £44 million in tax and an extra £2 million national insurance. The UK will get that again in October. It isn't to be sniffed at.

If we all do care about homophobia perhaps any help to the Ukraine should come with the allowing of single sex marriages and stop the abuses towards gay people in the Ukraine. Also stop major sporting events being held in strict Muslim countries and those were women don't have freedoms.

WoodBurningStov · 19/05/2024 11:16

Well that was a shower of shit, too much showboating and no boxing! Looked like a deliberate act by both parties to go all rounds and leave it open for another rematch - more money in everyone's pockets. Farce!

Infinity234 · 19/05/2024 11:31

Do you genuinely see that sort of trash faux 'reality tv' as a documentary?

Isitchill · 19/05/2024 11:38

Personally, I think that educating children in school, especially teenage girls, is lovelier.

lotsofpeoplenametheirswords · 19/05/2024 12:43

@Eggplant44 I see lots of things as documentaries. It's just a term for a television programme where people can 'learn' things about various different genres, topics, cultures, sciences, celebrity.

There are of course serious documentaries, light-hearted ones, spoof ones. I'm sure you can agree with that.

Last week I watched a documentary on the James Webb telescope. I watch Simon Reeve which I would term a 'travel' documentary.

So, yes, I would consider it a documentary. Is it a documentary that one would consider life changing or particularly informative viewing? No. But I guess you knew that!

pottymad · 19/05/2024 13:24

Never seen it never want to i think the so called gypsy king is first hand embarrassment to the traveling community.

CRINGE all the way.
