The lies, the things hes said and done over the last 10 years are why the British public dont like him. And never apologised for any of it. Thats not down to bipolar which i think is pretty bad bringing this up as a subject after him losing to Usyk.

[@SR-fs2fd]

Hearn has done worse but that gets overlooked. British boxing fans are weird. They are always looking for something to cry and moan about.

[@cdd89]

Whats Eddie done worse?

[@SR-fs2fd]

​@@cdd89 the PED situation with Canelo, Benn and Whyte, there was atleast one daylight robbery on every other Matchroom card when they were with Sky Sports, refusing to make cross-promotional fights back in the day; it started with Fury vs Wilder.

[@nofearofwater]

@@SR-fs2fdCome tf on Hearn hasn’t been ripped into? And also yank boxing fans went crazy on fury saying he’s a supersized Ali Brit boxing fans always kept it real on his skill level. We’re just realistic and we’d back a Ukrainian if we think he’s a more solid person, nothing weird about it.

[@UpgradeLemonade]

​@@nofearofwater What has Fury done so bad regarding Usyk? He called him a few names ? They both invited each other over to their homes for a drink after the fight. Usyk even said to Tyson " my son asked why did Tyson push you, oh don't worry son it's just business" . Even he knows it's just BS Tyson does to sell the fight. you guys act like Tyson is some low life that murdered a dog, christ 🤦‍♂️

[@LimerickR266]

Fury vs Usyk was a brilliant fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship. It was a close fight and the right man won. Roll on the rematch.

The second fight would be easier for Usyk. Usyk will know what to expect now and what to train for. It won't be easier for Tyson as every camp now will require more of him physically after abusing himself for so long.

[@gordontaylor4199]

Do you not understand that people are fed up with Fury and all his families garbage. You can't keep blaming everything on bipolar he has became a target of his own making with his arrogance and inflated ego . If his condition is that bad then maybe he shouldn't be fighting .

It's crazy how delusional Frank Warren is. Fury got dropped like a bad habit, Usyk was controlling Fury as if he had a remote control. John Fury the fighting man spent the night in a mental hospital.

[@philipdunn5972]

Franks not wrong in batting for his man. It's not about furys personality, its the fact that hes held the heavyweight championship to ransom ever since he won the belts.

[@bigmouths3730]

[@TruthSeeker-rn1tm]

So why did he spend the first 10mins talking about his personality?

[@rajd909]

Oh boy.The entire cavalry is out trying to save face. Frank Warren isn't the type of guy who would show up for too many post-fight interviews unless there is an absolute need to do so

[@andymcnab2.0]

People got fed up of tune up fights and fighting shot fighters and ducking the real contenders. A decade of shenanigans

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

And fury never lost. So it was hard for him to accept that for the first time

[@stuartgould3111]

Fury hit USYKs gloves a lot and they aren’t scoring shots Frank , that’s why the swing rounds went to usyk bud , watch it again

[@elitezafficobra2288]

Rumour has it that Tyson Fury is repeating singing the Micheal Jackson song - Leave Me Alone.

[@carl478]

hes right. tyson never got his respect, especially from his own country, and now he finally loses a split decision in a great fight and hes getting shat all over. I hope he comes back and shuts everyone up 👊

[@imrans2784]

Franks got a point. Tyson disrespected Usyk in the build up but straight after the bell, he big’d up Usyk and gave him respect. Fury’s being hung over 1 sentence that he did not repeat, meaning he probably regretted saying it himself. I went against him when I thought he was ducking Usyk, but in the end he fought him. The vitriol against him is a bit pathetic. He still has a 50 50 chance in the rematch and he will still beat AJ, never mind what anybody says. Can’t wait for him to shut a lot of people up

[@BernhardBernard]

Frank obviously credits Tysons taunting in rounds 1&2 as scoring punches.

[@kh894]

Watching the fight back it was even more of a clearer victory for Usyk. Most of Furys punches weren't clean at all and that shows by the final power punch stats. Usyk definitely got wobbled once but that was a given considering he had to be aggressive, it was a masterclass by Usyk and for some reason he isn't getting the credit.

[@petercoll7492]

Fury needs to publicly announce that he lost that flight fair and square, and he needs to apologize for saying that Usyk got the at war sympathy vote. Otherwise, Fury is not a nice guy.

[@kitchensouffle868]

frank went over to the corner and told them them fury needed the last two rounds. Big john then told fury he was winning so dumb. Should have listened to an experience guy like frank and tried to get those last two rounds that mistake could have made a huge difference in this close a fight as fury may have tried coasting the last two

“Be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm”

[@FightSportTalk]

Frank Warren is full of it, no one has ever been coddled and protected by boxing critics, trainers, fighters and members of the media than Tyson Fury. Fury has been one of the most overrated and overhyped fighters in history, despite his horrendous, pathological lies and disrespect of the sport. Anytime someone is critical of him they are called immoral haters, despite his lies and gaslighting. If the world was fair he would have been pulled up on his lies and ducking of top fighters long ago. But he's been protected like a child.

[@LordZedd123]

Wow, I didn’t know about Frank’s brother (may God rest his soul). Great interview Ariel!

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Both Frank and Fury are fully entertainers and gangsters of boxing. Looking forward to the rematch. People need to understand that this is just entertainment at the end. Having said this; Fury shouldn't have been promoted as the goat to begin with and nobody told him to step down when already going towards rough directions a decade ago.

[@RDB93]

Lies. Frank is only 42 years old. He just looks like this because he's always doing Damage Control for Fury. Dude's stressed 😂

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Franks a loyal dude and you can tell he's close with Tyson. But people in the comments saying stop "defending his actions" are delusional... First off hes his promoter, no matter what promotors stick by their guy. Its their job. 2nd, what has Tyson done thats so bad ? He called Usyk a rabbit middle weight? He called him a sausage ? He said Usyk was given the decision? He gave him love and respect to his face and in the post fight presser, even accepted his loss with very little excuses. And all week in the build up he was saying Usyk is going to be the best fighter he ever fought, reciting all of Usyks accolades. How hes a great family man and a good Christian.

[@andremorais1495]

For real, I was backing Usyk but even I dont know what Fury did so wrong that make people think he is a sort of monster wtf. He never offended the guy’s family, religion or country, like Connor, he never really crossed the line. Usyk also called him greedy belly, so what

[@UpgradeLemonade]

@@andremorais1495 it makes 0 sense. Apparently name calling and cracking jokes is like murdering a puppy or something 🤦‍♂️ the sad part is the UK has arguably 2 of the best HE champions of this era and the UK fans are so critical of both of them, AJ and Fury

[@leolovetoparty]

Frank is doing his best to try and convince the public that it was a close fight, in order to generate interest in the rematch. It wasn't and we will see a similar outcome that we did in the Usyk v AJ rematch. Sad to hear about his brother and, yes, Fury has done a lot for people with mental health issues. That does not give him a free pass for being an a$$hole and a gob$hite and he should own that. Ultimately you have one guy who is a model professional and another who goes on food, booze and god-knows-what-else binges in-between fights so I know who my money's on and who I respect as a boxer and as a person more.

To be fair, last years Eurovision contest ukaraine won with a rubbish song because every country gave them the top marks as a sign of support which was lovely.

[@ProgressiveHouse-]

Tyson is a decent person, but he finds it challenging to meet the expectations of society. The problem is that the more he is in the spotlight, the more vulnerable he becomes, creating a divide between the British boxing media and fans who appreciate sincerity which the media are scared to present in order that they do not get blacklisted. At the end of the day, Tyson is simply a human being, and his involvement in boxing has been more positive than negative, despite repeatedly upsetting the British public. It was a brilliant fight so as far as I am concerned we should praise both fighters especially with all the going -ons in the world these days.🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🌏🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@ProgressiveHouse-]

@@Alex-me4qx You are missing the fact he is bi-polar therefore you are saying this should mean he should be condemned for an illness that you have no time for understanding in any way.
