Extended interview with Emanuel Steward talking about Tyson Fury, 20th June 2012, Austria

This is the longer version of the interview I did with Manny Steward back in 2012. Here the legendary boxing trainer goes more in depth with his relationship with Tyson Fury, talks about Tyson singing in a Detroit music club and offers his insight in the then current crop of heavyweights.
Fury is due to fight Deontay Wilder in a rematch for the WBC belt on February 22nd 2020 following their entertaining draw last year. Both fighters are unbeaten and with Fury believing that only a knockout will see him victorious, it has the makings of a massive heavyweight contest with some real potential for fireworks.

[@Henry-to6yz]

This guy was a prophet of boxing.

[@davidpassehl]

His predictions were spot on perfect like he was writing a script in terms of fury being the best of all the young prospects coming up and wilder being world champion and the best American heavyweight boxer but he knew fury would be the best of all he was like nostradamus in how he predicted the future!! Rest in peace with love Mr Stewart he was a great person he helped out alot of people God bless Emanuel

[@stephenwilliams4801]

Happy Henry thee best.

[@last7509]

incredible to hear this. he basically called this trilogy.

[@zee688]

Well he's pretty much the greatest trainer of all time. So it's not a surprise lol.

[@kevinjackson6420]

The fact he warned “Don’t ever underestimate the toughness of Tyson Fury”, then watch Tyson rise after being dropped by Wilder on more than one occasion and go on to beat him is incredible.

[@britturk123]

You know your correct it is incredible, apart from Tyson blowing his horn and maybe his dad and a few more rare people, very few people rated Tyson at the time of this Interview. Proves that Emanuel Steward was very likely the GOAT Trainer he could see the future, and his nephew is following well in his footsteps.

[@chopzy2fishy876]

These irish travellers are a different breed when it comes too fighting

[@duftyboxing]

I think cause Steward saw him in person and realized how unique and special a boxing talent he was. Fury spent some time down at the krronk Rec. Center basement.

Tyson was only 23 years old when this interview was made, impressive. He thought highly of Tyson Furry and recognized it. He even brings up Deontay Wilder as a potential great boxer, back then.

[@ministereprice260]

This man knew Wilder and Tyson Fury would be champions one day

[@davidpassehl]

He called it perfect he knew Tyson would be the best out of all those young heavyweight prospects at the time he knew fury would be elite and he knew wilder would be a champion too he predicted it 3 years before Tyson and Deontay would both become world champions both became champions in the same year 2015 and he knew price and helenius wouldn't be dominant champion like how Fury is and he would be so proud of Tyson beating Wladimir and beating deontay wilder both he was spot on perfect in terms of his predictions!! Also he said fury would be as good of a talker and character as Ali in terms of his personality and character, his confidence and self belief has made him the best heavyweight boxer of his era and generation

He knew what he was talking about that fury would be the dominant heavyweight champion and wilder would be a champion too. He would have been so proud of Tyson beating Wladimir and beating deontay Stewart was the best he could make a good fighter great and a great fighter elite he knew David price wouldn't be the man and give helenius a good praise but he knew Tyson would be the man

[@sledgehammer3545]

Men! Tyson Fury

[@boliusabol822]

I think he underestimated Tyson Fury a bit. He didn't say Tyson Fury was way better than Wilder.. And I think he said there that he thought that Vlad had more talent than Tyson fury.

[@boliusabol822]

@Freedom Freedom He kind of had. Wilder won the Bronze in 2008. Manny died in 2012. . The top boxers and trainers know each other.. they see each other spar.. They help each other out in training camps.
