Tyson Fury turns Pro!

Tyson Fury
I have not heard talk of him for a while, But he is supposed to be the Real Deal. Can some one enlighten us with some recent info?

[Lance Uppercut]

I have never heard of him, but that is the coolest boxing name I have ever heard.

[CountryBoy]

I heard that he is a fuking tank, But don't know if it is true or not

[WelshDevilRob]

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

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.

[HOMETOWN CHAMP]

Never seen him fight but hopefully hes good cus he has a kickass name

There is a little video from a couple of years ago here.

Seems to be a lot of fighters downfall.

Tyson at 19 or 20 was already a world champ. He should go pro ASAP.

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.
I wanna see how he goes when he starts fighting guys who are as big and strong as him. It is all good beating up on smaller dudes, but how does he handle it when the other guy hits back?

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.

Any talk of a bout between Fury and Price?
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.

Interesting. Dont think it mentions his defeat in either the story or video.
