    Have to admit it I'd pay for it if I could pay in rolled Nickels . It'll be a much bigger show, will watch. Deontay via sparko but hope Fury stays off his arse and gets it. I don't have much interest in AJ v Miller. Hearn has kept Miller on the back burner and AJ is starting to remind me of a corny Byron Allen.

    Evander Holyfield questions Tyson Fury for discussing weight loss and sobriety in build-up to Deontay Wilder fight

    Despite this criticism, the former heavyweight champion admitted he was impressed with the ‘Gypsy King’s’ performance

    Heavyweight legend Evander Holyfield has questioned Tyson Fury’s decision to use his comeback story to gain favour in the build-up to his fight with Deontay Wilder.

    The Brit endured mental health issues which led to him piling on the pounds and regularly taking drugs in 2016/17, before then turning his life around and coming back on a quest to regain the world title.

    Fury has become an advocate for mental health awareness and discussed his issues as a large part of his comeback story prior to the Wilder bout.

    However, the ‘Real Deal’ believes that issues such as weight gain and drug taking – which he says Tyson brought on himself – shouldn’t have been discussed.

    When asked if he appreciated Fury’s story, taking into account his own tough times in life, Holyfield told talkSPORT’s Will Gavin and Olly Hunter: “I appreciate everything he’s done, but life is about – ‘If I do it to me, I did it to myself.’



    “Meaning that, ‘If I got heavy, then I got heavy myself. If I got on drugs, then I got on drugs myself.’

    “That you don’t bring that part into anything to make anybody feel special for you, that’s what he chose to do.

    “We were born our colour, you were born your colour, can’t change that. But the things that you choose to do, these are things you chose to do.”

    Despite disagreeing with some of Tyson Fury’s pre-fight talk, Evander Holyfield had no shortage of praise for the 30-year-old’s performance inside the ring.

    “He did lose a lot of weight,” Holyfield continued, “It was amazing because he was jumping around the whole fight.

    “It was amazing how great a shape he was in. He was in great shape and he fought good.

    “He did everything that he’s supposed to do and that’s the reason I went to the fight.”

    Evan Fields was a prolific steroid user for perhaps the majority of his career, thats what he chose to do. The guy was a turnip before he was punch drunk, who wants to hear his opinion. That said, I guess I can agree Fury used the mental health angle to shade his own PED issue, but as far as getting fat and going off the rails then making a comeback, that was his choice and the comeback he made is a good story.

    Tyson Fury news: ‘Gypsy King’ confirms he donated £7million Deontay Wilder purse to charity as he promises to be ’40 or 50% better’ for rematch

    The 'Gypsy King' battled to a controversial draw in December, and seems set to get back in against the undefeated American in May or June

    Tyson Fury has confirmed he donated his entire £7million purse from his fight against Deontay Wilder to charity.

    The ‘Gypsy King’ travelled around Los Angeles on a promotional tour ahead of his WBC heavyweight title fight in the city and was stunned by the number of homeless people he saw.

    Speaking to members of the LA Fire Department, he vowed to donate his entire purse to UK charities to build homes for alcohol and drug addicts at home.

    Fury, who is currently embarking on a meet and greet tour around the country, told audience members in Cardiff at an Evening With Tyson Fury show he had in fact given all his hard-earned cash away.



    In an exclusive obtained by The Sun, Fury reportedly said during a Q&A session: “I did give away my last purse but I don’t do charity work for a pat on the back.

    “I do it to help people but I do not want praise for it, I don’t want to be called a do-gooder.”

    Although Fury received a basic wage of £2.5m, this figure rose to the reported £7m once the pay-per-view money was taken into account.

    After courting controversy throughout his early career, Fury’s battles with mental illness have inspired him to help others and seen him champion charitable causes.

    However, he was in no mood to go easy on the Bronze Bomber should their reported rematch get confirmed for the summer.

    Gareth A Davies exclusively told talkSPORT he believes late May or early June will be when the two heavyweights tangle again and the Brit had a warning to Wilder.



    He also said: “He [Wilder] cannot get any better, I will be 40 or 50 per cent better and his whole team knows that.

    “They saw my fat ugly white body and bald head and thought I was s**t but then I Roy Jonesed them and they were f****d.”
