Peter Fury talks about Tyson pulling out, Tysons wife also had a miscarriage.

Still not sure what to make of it all.

Part of me want's to muse at the irony of it all (on a number of levels) but I have genuine concern for the guy. If anything, this could be a big problem for Tyson's psyche.

Of course his actions are totally acceptable but in terms of the way the world works, I feel he has really took a wrong turn here.

I mean, lets look as Tyson from a psychological standpoint - Prior to this, the guy was pretty much clean. As much BS as the guy spouted ( It was normal for him to make unfounded accusations, remarks and predictions) as long as he fought and won, everything was vindicated and validated. Tyson for all his absurdity, felt that he could afford to take the moral high-ground in any instance he chose to open his mouth. He could do this before as it was from a standpoint that 'I don't disappoint', I fight, I win and most importantly I have no excuses.

So with fury now having back-tracked on himself in such a complicated and seemingly peculiar way, means he has lost something very solid in his mental foundation that is attached to something very real. The cruel reality (and the long and short) of it is that this put's him in a wide-open (and new) position of having his credentials (and minerals) questioned for not fighting Ustinov. This in turn now leaves the door open for Fury's personal life to be dragged into the ring with, potentially for every fight from now on.

I mean, I hope and expect that the majority of his opponents have more respect and class that he does (he wouldn't miss a trick) and leaves his personal life out of the equation but you just know there is going to be one at least one opponent that will stick the knife in and twist it just to get into Tyson's head.

Where as before, Tyson was validating himself with every fight, he is now potentially faced with validating the death of his uncle and unborn child. That's a lot for a man who I honestly feel is more style than substance in the ''I am'' department (if that makes sense?... I think I mean his ego!?).

No would dare Twist the knife on the ''real'' Tyson, as he took his similar grief into the ring in one of the most assertive ways imaginable. I hope Fury proves me wrong and comes out like a true champion should. Fighters fight.

(Good luck Tyson, my thoughts and wishes are with you)

Good post and yes your right the general attitude by the typical "fan" (if we are to base the typical fan on Saddo posters) is that "so what your baby died, so what your uncle nearly died and is still in a coma, you could have still fought".

Its embarrassing that the majority of posts after what has been explained are still mindlessly derogatory and from moderators too. Doesn't say much for the site really. Its maybe understandable to take the piss initially (before being told the facts) after what Tyson has said but not now. Now is time to hope his uncle comes out of a coma and that Tyson, Paris and their family have some understanding.
