Fury is terrified of Egan

[@CAVERN1234]

NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR THIS MAN

[@peterreid4567]

Fury calls out everyone. Fights no one. He backs off all the time. All mouth.

[@peterreid4567]

@user-zz8qn7ne5w I believe you. But why is he putting out challenges then backing down. He always says he’s a fighting man

[@vinman3057]

John looking for a saudi payday

[@82coxy]

You're correct about him being able to fight, it wasn't because he was respected though it was because he was feared, big difference. Peter Fury was respected and Peter was the one with the millions before Tyson was a thing. If anyone in the Fury family is a real old school gangster it was Peter. ​@user-zz8qn7ne5w

[@DirtyJamesUK]

​@user-zz8qn7ne5w bullies ARE well respected. Until they come across someone who wants it. Then they usually dont show but will follow up with some kind of act of bravado to save their ego, so they can live in delusion. Example: John Fury acoiding Micky Theo and Joe Egan, but then mentioning his barn or BJS's lock up.

[@DirtyJamesUK]

​@user-zz8qn7ne5w him and Peter were involved in organised crime. It's no surprise they were respected. They cant be random nobodies off the street, but John also clearly cant back up his talk.

[@mikmoody3907]

I have the upmost respect for this man. Not afraid of most things including to show his emotions.

[@vhfinterferance4387]

It takes a man to cry, Joe .The old man is just living of his sons back. Respect Joe true gentleman

[@antoniotedesco5471]

Well spoken with no ego wow

[@sirbaconbutties7071]

He looks and sounds like a Homosexual tho he's so far up Tyson s ass pipe its ridiculously embarrassing.Why would John Fury ever want to fight him there's no money in it..

[@antoniotedesco5471]

Respect to this man

[@CJRSBK]

Definitely

[@savishah9053]

Respect to Joe Eagan 💯👍

[@richardmullins1883]

Who's here after John Fury headbutted a kid on team Usyk. This fellas words blend in perfectly with what J Fury just did. Fair play Joe. Fury got cut headbutting a kid ffs.

[@MarcGrayTWOOM]

Yeah I am. Pathetic. The guy was tiny and just no need for it.

[@Rixscar]

Joe give him a hiding.... He bully... Bully him Joe

[@dicaniowhu]

But he's a fighting man ! 🤣

[@zGJungle]

And putting it on little Carl Frampton, out of all the pundits who were not favouring Tyson in a fight, he picks the smallest dude he can find, I'd love to see John get battered.

[@mrdog2019]

@@zGJungle what it was, Carl said he thought Jake Paul could beat Tommy fury and sad John got in his face, like you say the smallest pundit.

[@medicinemanboxing3222]

Joe is a proper champion in life, tough as nails, but also such a pure and honest man. An open book, secure and real enough to pour his genuine heart out. What a Diamond of a Human 🫡👊

[@davefletcher324]

Very very humble gentleman.

[@danmahalo]

My mum always said; real men cry,. Bless you Joe.

[@sonnyboyde5887]

Your Mum was only half right lad, sorry to say that, I bet she was a beautiful mum 👍🏼 butJoe as a lot of men do , just cry’s too much mate. He needs phycological help.

[@hectorbartlett567]

I beg to differ ... A man should not cry in public. There are exceptions of course. Never over something like this, though

[@68majortom]

every time I fell out & ended up scrapping with my best mate, it always reduced me to tears. I used to sob like a bloody baby, thank fcuk we rarely Fought. ✌️🙏

[@guyjackson1261]

@@hectorbartlett567 Men are human

[@Jafmanz]

that's what women say but we all know women say one thing and mean another.. it's scientifically proven that attraction for a man drops when he cries in front of his partner.. the feelings go from attraction to maternal...... the chemistry in the brain for a woman is the same as if she saw her man get beaten up/ lose a fight...... It's a primitive instinctive survival response! your mum was no doubt a lovely woman but she was also talking out of her arse!

[@bruceclark4754]

This guy looks so tough and he is, but not afraid to show his feel8ngs. Good on him. His love for his siblings tells of his humanity

[@Talis7212]

Two diamond quotes from Joe here: "The most important thing in life, is to have self respect and respect for others" "You can't be wrong and strong"

[@wplno1]

"You cannot be wrong and strong" amen to that, very true.

[@bazfranco7380]

You can see this man takes things to heart,a man like this will take John Fury apart !

[@Rob47700]

@@KinglllDUB Hi mate , no , I do not , but I see him on here calling every one out for a fight , I'm sure he maybe a nice fella , but dear lord he's in his 60s and he's bouncing about on tiktok, i just don't understand why ,and I don't mean to be disrespectful at all , I just find it weird why he keeps popping up calling people out to fight at his age it's judt a little weird that's all , it's flexing and it's weird . Sorry.

[@KinglllDUB]

@@Rob47700 Joe was not calling anyone out John Fury is the man who was calling any 58 year old out and Joe Egan stepped up to the plate and John Fury is having none of it because he knows he wouldn't last too long in the ring with Joe Egan

Can't be said for the furys

‘U cant be wrong and strong’ thats some real words.

[@seandoxon6092]

J.Egan , a man of passion , an original geezer.

[@mmstargaming3664]

Joe Egan is a first class boxer. My boxing coach also from England spoke very highly of Joe and how humble he is.

[@68majortom]

he must've been ok he was Iron Mikes Sparring Partner. I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember any of his Fights or him. The only John Egan I know is the Sheffield Utd Player from few Seasons back. 🙏✌️

[@rusty75ish]

Well he admitted himself he wasn't a first class boxer. But what he did show in this interview at least is that he appears to be a first class human being.

[@merseypirates]

Joe Egan is a a legend a man’s man

i spent a few hours with joe back in the day, he's the most genuine man you could meet, and he's stories are unbelievable, a lovely man ☘☘

Iv never heard of Joe Egan but its very clear to see he comes across as a very hard man indeed but has the decency to still be a gentleman like him already .. 👍

Joe Egan should turn up to a press conference and ask John face to face to fight him, just like any other build up to a big fight. Let’s see if John still has all the gob!

Wow! This is a real man. If he says he is your friend,he is no matter what! Just my impression of him

[@SteveLoftus-li3od]

Met Joe several times at our local boxing shows. It’s like the old saying ‘Don’t fear the mouthpiece who’s giving it large in front of a crowd. Fear the quiet man sat in the corner slowly rolling his sleeves up’ Joe is the humble quiet man sat in the corner, but god help the loudmouth when Joe stands up’

[@forestranger5408]

I know, where he's coming from. I was bullied for years mate. One day I just snapped and broke a lads jaw. If you poke a dog with a stick, sooner or later that dog will bite back. John Fury is a joke and a bully he's a gypo and a coward. He has no honour at all and Joe Egan is a beast. He hit the nail on the head, bullies when confronted will shit it. Joe for what it's worth mate. Anybody daft enough to get in a ring with a 20 year old Mike Tyson is a hero. Bless ya mate did you ever spar with big Frank??
