This isn't on BEIN it seems (someone mentioned it would be). Any stream would be so appreciated!

That's just him being silly. Tyson hates women and gays. I'm gonna need a lot worse than that...
He has also been given the opportunity too walk those comments back, instead he doubled down and said he wanted a body on his record.

They are both cnuts and I am only watching too see if there is a way they can both lose.
Exactly. He’s proud of those comments and has doubled down more than once.

And if that’s not enough for you, he’s also been arrested for domestic battery for hitting a woman and strangling her in a Vegas hotel.

It's a sport where you punch people in the head and you guys are squeamish because he says violent things?

That's very much more the sort of thing I was fearing y'all would come up with.

Tyson Fury has no muscle tone. He’s the anti-Joshua. Looks unfit as feck, no cuts, but has great technique. If you could combine Joshua’s physique and personality, with Fury’s technique; you’d have a heck of a likeable world champ.

Not squeamish, but there is a line, and a code. It’s not fecking Rocky 4. It’s just a sport at the end of the day, no one should be joking - and the alarming thing is that he doesn’t appear to be actually joking - about killing their opponent. Especially in a sport where it’s an actual possibility, and there have been tragedies of death and paralysis. It is extremely low class, and unethical, and he’s been rightly lambasted for it from boxers across the spectrum.

No, I am squeamish that those comments came in the wake of fighters dying and he still won't walk them back when framed in that context.

I don't get why it matters. You fear he's encouraging young boxers to not stop when they're told to? Or you think he might not stop?

I don't see either.

It just feels like tasteless talk to sell tickets to me.

Tasteless in the extreme when in the wake of boxers actually dying. And then when given the chance to walk it back, say it’s just a joke, actually adds to it and says he wants a body on his record.

I don’t know, but I’m my book that makes him a right cnut; and I’d love to see him get knocked the feck out (not killed - see the difference?)

I'm happy to settle on hoping that they both lose and boxing is outlawed.
Martin Vs Washington has absolutely no consideration for the fact we need too stay awake.
My stream died the second anything happened.

I like that this is sponsored by some absolutely poisonous sounding whiskey.

Some talent in that ring.. Tyson the GOAT for me.
Just shows us how are the heavyweight division has fallen. Peak Tyson would piss the current division for breakfast. Really was a great era. Three fantastic champions. I always really liked Lewis. Met him in person once and he’s just a monster. fecking huge. Lovely chap too.

Agreed about Tyson and that era. I always liked Lewis too, never got to meet him like yourself though.

Used it to his advantage in the end. His leg work was outstanding. So powerful. His body shots were devastating. That right hook to the body followed by an uppercut. Devastating. One of the best punchers from the hips that I’ve ever seen. The secret of his power.
