Can Fury now just defend one of his titles or does he have to fight with all of them up for grabs?
It will depend if he can get agreements from the sanctioning bodies to be allowed to fight who he wants or will they insist he fights their number 1 mandatory challenger.
Normally sanctioning bodies insist on fighting 1 mandatory challenger a year and then the rest is up to the Champion. Sometimes sanctioning bodies have the same fighters as the number 1 challenger, then the Champion might have different times to fight the mandatory number 1 challenger too.

Vitali would have been far to big and strong and had a chin that would have coped fairly easily with the much smaller and lighter Tyson.
Once Tyson started to get hit in fights he became increasingly static and very easy to hit.

I see Vitali wearing him down and knocking him out pretty much the same way Lewis did.

Sadly, Tyson was only a good fighter when everything was going his way. He never fought his way out of trouble in a fight and simply lacked the heart and steel that a great fighter needs.
I was a huge fan early on and thought he'd go on to be a true alltime great, but he fell well short of that by the end if truth be told.
But the Tyson of 86-88 while he was with Kevin Rooney was very fast and hard and he did fight other big tall fighters like Tony Tucker, Bone Crusher Smith and Michael Spinks. I'd put Vitali above all of them and maybe his chin would have been able to take the early Tyson onslaughts like some fighters then did, its hard to tell for sure. I think most fighters would have been susceptible to the early Tyson onslaughts had they fought him during the 86-88 period with Kevin Rooney as his trainer.

Did you guys hear or see the Fury press conference today ??

Apparently Fury's dad has today challenged Lennox Lewis *!!
Fury senior used to box ( and bare-knuckle as well ) but never got really fit so he*reckons after a ten week training camp he will be more *than a match for*Lennox !!!!
Lewis should say make it worth my while and I will. At least 5 Milliomn I'd ask for otherwise not worth it, or maybe it is for slightly less?

Well Whyte beat him in the amateurs didn't he and did he knock AJ down then too? I think AJ and his camp have been implying that Whyte was only able to do so with the help of PEDS but considering how many wrestlers have died over the years from what seems to me to be as a result of using PEDS too much, I wouldn't be surprised if most boxers have used them at some point and thats how they got so big in the first place. Not saying its right, but I've never managed to get big muscle wise even with gym sessions.
Hey thanks for that. I didn't know their history even though I've heard background noise of there been some kind of feud. I went and looked it up on tube. The fight is here:

And it makes sense that Whyte was using PEDs. In the fight I saw he had the worse pair of granny breasts I've ever seen on a boxer!

Here's all round credit to boxing Wlad delivering a blatant headbutt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZIBYAHK1EA
Nasty. Credit to Fury for not making much of it.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Silly "aging bull" plank. Can see where Jnr gets it from. Lewis could train for ten seconds and still put Snr out for the count.

I've developed an irrational (or it could be rational) hatred of Haye. Dropped out of fighting Fury twice and then all of a sudden he's back on the scene like a vulture. I really really really hope the Furys don't give him the time of day.

i think if haye still has his speed then he'll fight the way he did against valuev and could get the win that way. would be the worst fight to watch though. i hope fury doesn't give him the match

Dillan Whyte was on Ringside Sky Sports some months back explaining that backstory and bitchiness from the AJ camp since and another boxer there said after Whyte had finnished "that was a great story that was too". He wasn't doubting Whyte he found it funny and the way he said it is when you/everyone realised how funny it was and the way he said it made everyone LOL. I'll check the fight out too.

Also Whyte when recently asked about the use of PEDS's and some criticism he's got over it decided not to comment on it.

Haye announced his come back last week before the Fury/Klitschko fight and he has an opponent lined up. I think he said he wants a shot at the title if he wins that. I think he should have stayed retired and has wasted 3 key years. Maybe he was enjoying his millions over the last 3 years but if he thinks he can be as good as he was before, I think he will struggle.

No doubt about it, once Rooney departed it was downhill pretty fast for Tyson.
H lost the one time great head and upper body movement and he started to throw single punches instead of the fast combinations. Along with partying hard it was only a matter of time before he was beaten.

He may well have been enjoying them too much, hence the need for this comeback...

Agree its ridiculous especially when the fight is just for the British title and will probably just be a routine win for Joshua. I am amazed this is on box office.

Its getting to the point that any even half decent fight is put on box office and considering how much people pay for sky sports anyway its a joke and just greed as you say.
It's a crap card. Fingers crossed it doesn't sell well, otherwise it'll just encourage more of this rubbish. This 'grudge' between Joshua and Whyte is just the usual fabricated attempt to sell the fight, albeit not as laughable as the Campbell - Coyle one in the summer.

Fury won't be fighting anyone until he gets a rematch with Klitsch out of the way.

I think it ill still do well. Joshua pulls strong ratings on Sky. They have seen this and are now cashing in.

Looks like Pacquiao has picked Bradley as his last fight Really dont want to see it again.

Khan will face Brook so for 2 years Khan has simply wasted his time chasing fights v Mayweather and Pacquiao.

I'm not reading through the whole thing but I think he has a year to face him.

I think Duva (Glazkov's promoter) might be playing games and trying to force the vacation.

I'm not so sure. A few months ago I was firmly in the Brook camp for that fight, but now I dunno, I just get the feeling that there isn't much longevity in him and Khan might do a hit and run job while Kell cashes with the big money it will inevitably make.

This opinion may or may not be down to his reputation in Sheffield, and the fact I saw him in Wetherspoons the other day looking like a right fat bastard, downing a few pints and then going off to the races.

So anyone gonna pay to watch AJ v Whyte? I do want to see the fight but im reluctant to pay for it because that then says I agree with it being on PPV when i absolutely don't. Plus the fact they're trying to build it up as a grudge match and mentioning the defeat AJ suffered years ago at the hands of Whyte. He's probably a completely different fighter now to then so he'll no doubt knock Whyte out within 3 rounds.

I'm watching The Gloves are off on Sky, with AJ and Dillan Whyte , its embarrassing, how old is Dillan Whyte, he sounds like a 10 year old child, saying how they should clear the room and fight in the studio, and "if i saw him in the street i would knock him out" , AJ is just sitting there taking it , but Whyte is embarrassing himself.

After seeing this i really hope AJ beats him easily

I've thought the same every time i've seen him on Sky in recent months. He's going to have to put some serious hard work in to get fit.

It's just what Eddie Hearn has told him to do/say.

Kell does blow up a bit outside of fights but I wouldn't worry about him getting fit. Before the Chavez fight was cancelled, kell was looking in great shape and shredded any extra weight.

Once he gets in the gym he doesn't cut corners anymore. Has the right team behind him.

Try 3 minutes.

Yeah maybe or maybe he's had his fill of chilling out? If he has had his fill chilling out, he may find out the hard way that he jsut doesn't have the tools anymore to cut it at the top and he looks way to small to be a contendor in the Heavyweight Division imo.

With the way he's splashing his money around again, I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd Mayweather ends up bankrupt even if he did make hundreds of millions from his fight with Pacquiao.

Brook will floor Khan once and for all. Can't wait for that fight.
Is the fight on then? If Khan hasn't got another opponent lined up then he may as well get in on with Brook. I would favour Brook on a punchers chance but otherwise Khan should be able to outpoint him if he sticks to the stick and move approach.

Do any of you post on any Boxing Forums and if so which ones? I'm not registered or active with any at the moment, which ones would you recommend?

Also were any of you on the Boxing Monthly Forum before it closed or BM closed the forum down that is.
