Tyson Fury

I have never heard of him, but that is the coolest boxing name I have ever heard.
I heard that he is a fuking tank, But don't know if it is true or not :confused:
I've heard he's more name than substance. Still he's young and marketable and if he's on the M.E.N bill then that might make him a Warren fighter.
Here's a BBC story on him from 2006
BBC SPORT | Boxing | Fists of Fury
Seems like a good prospect. Should be playin front row for someone!
I hope the british media doesnt hype him too much too early, and let him develop quietly.
Never seen him fight but hopefully hes good cus he has a kickass name;D
There is a little video from a couple of years ago here.

Just hope he's not too big 250+ lbs at 18 is big.
Seems to be a lot of fighters downfall.Quote:

Mike Tyson had a mans body at that age, this kid Fury still has lots of puppy fat. It is way too early to compare this chubby white guy to 80s Iron Mike.Quote:

In the video it talks about him going to the 2012 olympics, now he has turned pro?
As far as I am aware he hasn't turned pro yet. He is also not even no1 rated british superheavyweight. David Price of Liverpool is. He is also the Olympic team captain.Quote:

Does this mean boxrec is wrong again?
Probably! Unless he is pissed about not getting an olympic spot and has decided to turn pro. I haven't heard anything though. He was beaten by Price in 2006 in the national championships.Quote:

Just found this. He has turned pro. Like i said it was because he was pissed at not making the olympic team.
Hell hath no Fury like Tyson spurned - Liverpool Echo.co.uk

Can't blame the lad for going pro to be honest with you, he's a big lad at six foot seven, and had a very good run early on in his amateur career.
He did let the hype which started to build up around him get to his head a little when he started trash talking David Price, but if Steve Egan sets him firmly in his place, a boy of his size and with decent boxing skills should be able to do well in the British scene at the moment. We can judge further after that.

Eh....I'll have to see him in a pro fight before I evaluate what he can do. Would love to see some more depth in the heavyweight division.
Seen a bit of him but not much...
I know his pops was a HW contender and he named Fury after Mike Tyson.
Thanks for the Info guys
...KO-ing Audley Harrison is no great feat.
As for KO-ing Wladimir....Fury hasn't even had a PRO fight yet...and here I was thinking the David Haye fans were getting ahead of themselves :rolleyes:
Correct, kid thunder could KO FraudleyQuote:

Do you kind of see why saying "He'll KO Wladimir Klitschko" [51 (45 KO's)-3] is just a tiny bit premature???? I hope so or else I am going to neg rep the crap out of you for as long as you're on this site. Hell even fighting Audley as his first pro fight and KOing him would be extremely impressive but let's not start this "Tyson Fury is going to beat anyone and everyone" bullshit

....I don't care he's big enough to post on the site then he's big enough to get negative repped until he learns right from wrong. (if he continues)
Great fighters EARN their way to the top (unless they are Ali or Floyd Mayweather and then they talk their way up ;D [we'll see who bites on that one]) and seeing how Mr. Tyson Fury has not fought a professional fight yet and Wladimir Klitschko has not only won a Gold medal (Tyson Fury was never able to even make the freaking Olympic team of ENGLAND!!!!) and is a multiple time title holder and has over 50 WINS ALONE on his record and over 40 KO's on his record...I think maybe even if the lad is 12 he should be able to figure the math out that 51 > 0 ...I have 0 pro fights maybe I can beat up Tyson Fury ;D
Maybe Saddo should have people list their age or just have some sort of avatar/sig that says they are under a certain age/mental ability so I don't offend anyone too young or too dumb to know any better

Anyway the guy might have a point, Wlad will be 45 by the time this Fury guy gets a titleshot.;D
All I can say is...that he better not be another "Tye Fields" using a name like that.
Gotta agree with Lyle here how can we say how he would go on against Wlad when we haven't seen him as a Pro yet? Wlad as an amateur was at the end of the day an Olympic Gold medalist therefore the best amateur in the world IMO and this Kid Fury hasn't even made the GB Olympic team so Wlad is clearly ahead there unless Price goes and wipes the floor with everyone and wins the Olympic Gold and even then it doesn't tell us much about Fury other than he got beat off this guy.Quote:

Audley is EXACTLY who this guy makes me think of because of the overhyping that is going on. He hasn't even had his first pro fight and people are already saying he's going to beat Wlad Klitschko.....are people fucking crazy?!?!?!Quote:

He reminds my of Tye Fields a little bit.
