    for the rematch take away editorial control from the paul camp

    the announcers and the ref were distracting, better off announcers that play up how big of a heel he is.

    I'm sure Paul can choose the commentary team for these events

    Doesn't make sense not to kiss his ass, if that's the case

    Jake has like 2 shots and sets both up the exact same way every time he throws them. Fury was working him a little bit because of that empty bag Jake brought in there. Closer than it should have been. Tommy was an irresponsible jackass at the beginning of round 8 when he took that shot.

    Way more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. Fun fight.

    Tyson Fury has divulged his own theory as to why Deontay Wilder was able to knock him down, but never out cold in their trilogy.

    The Gypsy King and Bronze Bomber shared a controversial draw in their first bout in 2018 before the Brit scored two stoppage wins over the American in 2020 and 2021.

    Across those three fights, Wilder was able to use his famous power to floor Fury four times.

    However, the stubborn heavyweight got up on every occasion and fought on to ultimately triumph.

    Fury told Foxify: “My most formidable opponent was Deontay Wilder.

    “I had three fight with that guy and all three times it could’ve been curtains for me at any single second.

    “Deontay Wilder has dynamite in his fists and if he lands on you, whether it’s round one or round 12, he’s going to knock you down or knock you out.

    “He knocked out every single person that he ever fought, apart from me. He’s definitely my most formidable opponent and I’d back him to beat everybody in the division apart from myself.”

    Giving his thoughts on why he is the only man to date to survive Wilder’s power, Fury added: “I think my sheer size and weight has a lot to do with him not being able to knock me out cold.

    “He hits a guy 6ft 3ins and 225lbs, they’re nailed to the canvas.

    “But a guy 6ft 9ins and 277lbs – I think that has a lot to do with it, size matters.

    “Anyone who says that size doesn’t matter is lying.”

    Fury’s supreme confidence is well known too and he believes that no man in any era could beat him.

    He added: “I believe that I could beat any man born from his mother in any era, in any decade, in any century. In one-on-one combat, I would beat them in a fight. I’ve never met anybody who could beat me yet and I don’t intend to.”

    Next weekend



    SHO, 10:45 pm ET, Tim Tszyu vs Tony Harrison. Showtime are just airing this main event. It’s a good matchup, and a real risk for Tszyu to take as he sits on a mandatory title shot. Harrison is absolutely a better boxer than Tszyu, but Harrison is also vulnerable and Tszyu has the style that could break him down. It’s just a good fight, Tszyu taking a risk and Harrison as always willing to fight anyone. Bad Left Hook will have live coverage. (To be clear, this is happening Sunday, March 12 in Australia, but time zones and all that, so it’s primetime U.S. TV on Saturday night.)
