My money's on a right prick.

He's a boxer, so yes, prick.

right prick.

Both? He's an excellent fighter, but a really awful human being. I don't see how those two things really merit an 'or'

What's he done?

I'd say both...

It going to be a total borefest of a fight.  Jab, jab, hug each other and both fall into the ropes, repeat on a loop until Wlad grinds it out.

Yes Fury is an utter cunt as well

Anyone know where I can watch this online? I realise it's pay for veiw but I'm tight, teamfury

Any decent odds going on this? Normally there's at least one bookie offering something silly but I'm not seeing much

Tyson should lose but he's gonna go for it quick time and has a big reach so has a chance.

Found an Acestream link for it if anyone wants it (You need Acestream installed on your PC)

Rod Stewart. Jeez.

Probably done everyone a favour with the mic switched off to be fair

As he lives in Morecambe we have the pleasure of him on the local news quite regularly... The nicest thing I can say is he is a very peculiar and complex character.


They seem to be trying to get their excuses in early today.

This hasn't been the pasting of Fury I was hoping for. I'm pleasantly surprised

Well, I didn't see that coming.

We are going to have an Adrian moment here in a minute.

It wasn't pretty, but he done what he needed to do!

He doesn't seem to know his wife's name...

lets be fair, Klitschko has been a cut above for years and Tyson had him from about round 2.  Joshua looks a better long term bet but well done to the cunt tonight.

Joshua v Fury for the championship at Wembley would do serious business. Wilder might get him first though.

Paris is easy to forget...

Klitschko was poor. Took him till last round to properly go for it, should have gone for it from round 9/10 onwards. Superb from Fury though, one of the best British boxing performances ever

Few more fightd for both yet before that. You are right though, promoters will make a killing as ever.

To Boy.Arrogant Prick at times. Nuff Said. Called a draw me self at the end but glad to see it called OK. Will be a rematch at Wembley no doubt.
MONEY MONEY MONEY.....

Door couldn't be more wide open for Joshua now.
Its almost like a vacuum sucking him in. Inevitable champion

Won nearly 400, cheers Tyson!

Won't he be too busy at Northampton?

think Joshua has been immense, but I think he has a couple of tricky fights to overcome before he gets a shot at fury.

if Joshua is as good as he looks, fury will sidestep bin for a bit anyway

Stripped of his IBF title http://bbc.in/1m9d6dL

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

That's a bit harsh.

I think the fact that he has now taken to talking about himself in the third person makes this entirely fair!

I think it's bad that even a sports website can't write an article about him without mentioning comments he has made.
He's world champion and all everyone seems to be doing is getting on his back.
I don't agree with his comments, but he's a gypsy, they're brought up completely different to the rest of us and that's what they believe in. They're very religious and think women should be at home with the kids cooking and cleaning. That doesn't mean it's right, but that's how it is in his community.
Also, he's getting stick for saying Jessica Ennis slaps up well in a dress? I'm sure most blokes have said ten times worse down the pub.

The other Tyson is somewhat of a beloved figure figure these days despite being a convicted rapist.

Fury is a bit of bellend but at least he has a bit about him unlike so many of our leading sportsmen. Usual storm in a teacup about his comments/opinions

To me, sexism and homophobia are a bit more serious than being "a bit of a bellend"
I'm glad he's been stripped of his title.

He hasn't been stripped of a title because of the comments though, it's because he is fighting Klitscho again before fighting the mandatory challenger.

Yeah, I know that. I'm just glad. His views are dangerous. No one would be making excuses for him had he been racist.

Hmmm. A racist, sexist, homophobe. Now who does that remind me of on this forum..?

He's been stripped of ONE of them. I think he won 3(?) belts from different Boxing organisations when he won.

I think it was obvious which one I meant!

complete and utter bell end.

but also a complete and utter waste of police time and money investigating his remarks. though I guess they are duty bound to do so.

Apathy at his comments are bizarre - he's clearly a bigoted arsehole and a complete waste of oxygen. Unfortunately he has the right to say what he wants, and we all do. Easiest thing is for the media companies to not give him the inches/air time but he's a good story.

Should he be on the SPOTY list? Yes. Should he be allowed to think and say what he likes (unless a criminal offence)? Yes. Is he a complete and utter cockwomble who should be widely ignored and derided, and will be the second Klitschko destroys him in the rematch? Yes.

One thing - I don't like the title of the thread as he's clearly both and they're not mutually exclusive.

Spot on in every respect.

Except for the Klitschko destroying him part.

Agreed

The question was probably more to do with whether Fury could back up his pre-match hype

It's fine to say these things if you were raised differently.

Ahhh it's just a generation thing

Why are people expecting enlightenment from a boxer? He hits people. He's good at it.

There's a difference between expecting enlightenment and expecting him to just be a decent human being.
I expect the latter from most people regardless of their career.

Only because we're omnimedia victims. Expecting acceptable behaviours only creates dull media poodles out of people that don't believe what they're saying.

Fury's only qualification for talking about anything is that he hits people hard. As someone said further up, when he talks about society he's no more interesting or relevant than the bloke in the pub. Just tune out. Or hit him.

Tyson Fury responds to Sports Personality of the Year criticism - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35055146

As an aside a few more people know who Greg Rutherford is now which I suspect was the desired outcome.

I don't want to censor anybody. I'm just suggesting he's a cunt.

Greg Rutherford is hot 😍

he's undeniably a cunt.

Amen sister! His girlfriend is also ace and writes an amazing blog

Oh, and Fury is an absolute C U next Tuesday in my opinion

I'm starting to want Fury to win the very unimportant and immensely boring sports personality of the year. Used to be a good watch,must got too much like a massive love in in recent years.

Rutherford's made himself look a bit of a tool. But he won't lose much sleep about that. Wish I could jump into a sandpit as well as him.

You want a homophobic sexist to win cos you're bored of a competition that never meant anything to begin with?

Fury is a prick

I couldn't careless. The idiot is obviously so far out there with his views I'd like him paraded as a 'village idiot' rather than banned or hushed up. Used as an example of what stupid looks like. Same with Trump, no way should he be banned.

i realise the 21st century struggles with these views and prefer to deal with them by not allowing them, it's a shame as I don't think its a healthy way to deal with opinions like Fury/Trumps.

It's more the hypocrisy of a lot of the writers and supposed boxing fans. They seem to ignore what a lot of previous sportsman have said for example. Holt from the mail for example has listed Ali Holyfield and Tyson as his heroes while slating Fury. Can't pick and choose who you want to go for in my opinion

He is ginger???????

He could be applauded for his stance were it not for the fact that;

a) he was happy to complete and win medals in India (which have in turn boosted his career) where homosexuality is banned...

b) has made such a song and dance about the whole thing handily around the time voting started.

The one positive I can see of Fury winning will it will bring the topic to a wider audience and also further illustrate what a cockwomble Fury is to a wider group, plus it will have a certain morbid comedic value to see how the BBC deal with the whole thing.

Frankly anything to stop Hamilton winning it again!

He writes for the Mail, he doesn't have  heroes, he will just hate everyone!

Tyson Fury: Police rule out hate crime action - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-35067337

Intrigued to understand what is the difference between a 'hate incident' and a 'hate crime'.

I agree. Like PP said, unless it's illegal I don't advocate censorship of any misguided and bigoted remarks. Doesn't mean I'm happy for the man to win something though.


Never! Hot ginger people are strawberry blonde ;)

That said other than this guy I know (who isn't famous but I'd give a solid 7/10 to) I can't think of any others.  :girlgiggle:

Who is his missus JFW?

I'm ginger and I'm sexy as fuck

Exactly Dave!

His missus isn't famous herself but they have a little boy a similar age to mine and she writes an excellent blog on the kind of honest side of being a mum.

She's also very hot!

Apologies Dave, clearly there are exceptions to every rule :)
I better not look up her blog though, the bf's already a bit worried..

I reckon a lot more blokes are attracted to ginger birds (myself included, I understand my username may make that somewhat ironic, but when I first registered on here 10 years ago I had hair) than women are attracted to ginger blokes.

Greg Rutherford looks like a ginger Barney Stinson.

That is definitely true in my experience (though women are usually called redheads, rather than ginger. What's that about?)

The NPH comparisson is a good one  ;D I've never noticed that before.
I'd wager Mr Rutherford looks a bit better in speedos though  :girlgiggle:

Redheads are amazing

wiry lady gardens in my experience..

Redheads are the sexiest breed out there; wiry lady garden is great for an itchy nose - Male gingers on the other hand are just unfortunate.

Redheads: wiry lady garden
Gingers: ???

While I'm making flash cards can you give any more advice?

Beware false flags. The true redhead is a pale creature, albeit not truly terrified of the sun like the ginger. The ginger burns if exposed to the merest hint of sunlight, as its life giving energy is abhorrent to their kind.

And beware. They have agents everywhere.

Day walkers!
