now Fury pulls out

[Freedom]

Disappointed. Does the sick uncle play a big part in his corner? I could understand the move if he does.
Fighting an opponent he didn't train for, plus his corner changing.

It's a different uncle who is sick, not his trainer Peter.

The sick uncle has been in hospital for weeks and had surgery.

Fury just used this as an excuse to avoid the fight with Ustinov, because he wasn't sure he could beat a man his own size.

Looking more and more like he backed out. Disappointing.

You do not go through with the weigh in, taunt and tease a giant simpleton and then back out THE DAY OF THE FIGHT.

Only Ken Shamrock against Kimbo Slice comes to mind for a guy doing something like this the day of the fight. Ken claimed he got injured training that day, but I think fear got the better of him.

Probably got the better of fury here too. The fear of losing, the embarrassment and loss of immediate big paydays perhaps more so than Ustinov himself.

Yes it proves fury is all talk .He was scared of Ustinov .

Whether you like Fury or not he deserves the stick.

If his opponent pulled out claiming a family member was ill he wouldn't give a shit, he'd be all over twitter/the media calling him a shithouse coward and letting everyone know he'd fight with no eyes and broken arms.

If you can't take it don't dish it out. Big shithouse.

I totally agree with this


I can understand him pulling out, its not ideal something like this happening on the night before you fight the best opponent you will have faced by a hundred million miles, but fury wouldn't have accepted this happening himself


I think he'd have lost

[AdamGB]

Any word on his uncle? Sounds like he's unwell but stable (still).

[beenKOed]

All I know for sure is that Tyson has had a frustrating, pressure packed year or so trying to get back into the ring. I would not want to be the opponent he finally gets a chance to vent against!

Good luck to his uncle.

Peter Fury has been back on twitter over the last day.

"Big respect to all of you on here. My brother is still critical in a coma" due to lack of Oxygen to his Brain. By his side every day."

"@danielmiller30 my brothers life means as more to me than my own. My brother comes before any fight. We would quit boxing to have him back!!"

"@smoggie1994 blood clot went to both lungs & lost oxygen to brain for 13 minuets."
