Interesting to see how public opinion is starting to shift away from Tyson Fury again. Went through his bigotry phase where he was getting a lot of hate, then seemed to turn it round again. Now seems to be back at it, with how he's handled himself recently. His latest attack on Usyk just comes across as pathetic, IMO. What Usyk has achieved in boxing is nothing short of phenomenal. On top of everything he's achieved as a boxer, he's literally gone to war for his country. For Fury to brand him a 'coward' is a disgrace. I know people say it's all part of the fight hype, but he's just going too far again for me. He regained an awful lot of public support during his recovery and mental health struggles. He just doesn't need to be doing this. Tarnishing his legacy for me. It's not a surprise that people will start to wonder how much of his mental health struggle was genuine, or whether it was PR to recover from his prior behaviour. I really hope someone somewhere is giving him better advice on how to conduct himself.
Boxing is generally pathetic for giving fans the fights they want to see. Tend to ignore everything Fury says as he clearly has ongoing issues with the truth.
Fury who said he would fight people for free which hasn't happened. AJ after two tough fights against the main champion of the division called his bluff accepting a fight at short notice and Fury pulled out. Usyk called his bluff too willing to accept 30% and again Fury pulled out. Fury who against a Ukrainian made it feel like it was Britain vs Ukraine with his Rule Brittania social media ******, thus not reading the room.
Boxing is now an embarrassment. Compare it to the 80s and 90s and unified champions who were the best pound for pound guys. Now its just a performing circus where anyone will sell their soul to anyone willing to pay.
