Big John will be calling her out now.

[@peterbalac1915]

He just headbutted her kid sister.

[@hearmenow909]

John will say he will do her like a dog, like he said to Jake Paul about his Mrs.

[@coilsw6]

Well versed and well spoken ... was a very pleasant interview to listen to. Agreed with much of what she had to say and appreciated her neutral and quite knowledgeable take on the questioned subject matter. No swearing and minimal self promotion ... quite refreshing after listening to so many ill spoken and rude participants, both male and female. I could see her easily getting a gig with a major broadcaster both throughout and after her fight career.

[@markpurdie7608]

Remember john & what he said about sugar hill when sugar didnt lie john was raging telling tyson to sack him! Sugar on good money but john just gets in the way

[@BoxingBikersandBS]

Boy when big John screws something up. He does it from beginning to end and through and through.

[@oliverr6246]

He's a perfectionist.

[@joestunnerboxing]

Good interview. Skye's terrific! She talks a lot of sense - keeps things simple and clear. Especially agree with her on the Taylor/Serrano rematch.

[@benbeck1]

The ropes were hold Fury up. No idea what Nicolson was watching. A clear standing eight count decision by the ref. Fury to have a decent chance of beating Usyk in the rematch needs his dad out of his corner, imo he's a distraction and a liability.

[@John_Wall]

The first big left that Usyk landed, which resulted in Fury sinking back to the ropes, was with exactly 30 seconds of the round remaining. The ref stepped in to administer the count a couple of seconds after the clock disappeared from the screen, which last showed 10 seconds remaining. Therefore, 22 seconds elapsed from the first big left to the ref stepping in. During that 22 second period, Usyk landed heavy combinations, as well as clean, single power shots. For only about the first 5 seconds of this period, was Fury able to keep his guard up, and he didn't return fire at all during the 22 second period. He was therefore being knocked from one side of the ring to the other, for over 15 seconds, unable to protect himself or mount any offence. In that period, he was hit several times clean by power shots. He was completely discombobulated and in no fit state to protect himself. The rule for this fight was no standing counts. I have watched hundreds of fights, and I never seen a fighter in such a state, for such a prolonged period of time, completely unable to protect themselves, without the ref stepping in and stopping the fight. The fight should have been waved off before it got to the point in which the ref started to count. Technically, even though there were no standing counts, the ref was correct to start a count, as Fury had buckled into the ropes and would have hit the floor had the ropes not been there. But the simple fact remains that the fight should already have been waved off prior to that point, especially seeing as these guys are heavyweights, and severe and permanent damage could have been done. It wasn't the count that robbed Usyk of a TKO, it was ref's dereliction of duty. He should have stopped the fight as soon it became clear that Tyson was no longer able to protect himself. The cardinal rule is protect yourselves at all times. As soon as a fighter is unable to do that, the ref is duty bound to step in and save them. I get that the ref was under a lot of pressure because of the significance of the fight, but his number 1 priority is the safety of the fighters. The fight should have been stopped prior to count, of that I am certain.

[@AlexM-sg8fn]

@@John_Wallspot on 👏. The sour grapes from Fury fans trying to blame his loss on John Fury is beyond laughable! The best guy won and proved he is the number 1 in the division, it’s as simple as that

[@John_Wall]

@@AlexM-sg8fn Cheers mate, and yeah - the best man won, end of.

[@vwwilson8625]

He shouldn't be ref if his decisions are swayed by the magnitude of the fight otherwise he won't do his job correctly and the wrong man would win, if fury stopped clowning and showboating he could of won but I still think Usyk would have found a way to win in the end, slava Ukraine.

[@Ju-kv2xi]

The excuses from pillow fist furys corner is shocking ffs 😂😂😂

[@ahermens]

I think what would be interesting is can we find footage of John Fury over talking Sugar + Andy Lee previously (say in the Wilder fights). If he hasn't then why would John Fury do this for his son's biggest fight ever? It seems nuts. Listening in on the footage John Furys voice is so over-powering. Tbh I couldnt even make out what he was saying but unfortunately Tyson would have for sure.

[@scottdevlin1345]

He wasn't there for wilder fights,wasn't allowed in the US with his criminal record

[@mattstone5067]

John Fury wasn't at any of the Wilder fights. He was not allowed to come to America because of his criminal history of gouging a mans eye out.

[@JamieLowe-xp1le]

John is never in Tyson’s corner.. he shouldn’t have been for this fight but truth be told even if he wasn’t in the corner uysk would still have beaten him as he’s just better

[@user-tp8nh3mz2y]

First time he's been in the corner for years. As others have said he isn't allowed into the USA due to what they would term a felony conviction. As far as I'm aware this was the first time John has worked his corner since he came out of jail before the Klitschko fight in 2015. He certainly wasn't in the corner for the Whyte or Chisora fights when nothing criminal was stopping him. Watch those fights and Andy Lee was very respectful of Sugarhill and hardly spoke at all. This time because John was talking so much crap he was also talking either because he felt emboldened or because he was trying to talk sense. Three men talking in the corner is a receipe for disaster. The corner reminded me of Joshua's when he had McCracken, Angel Fernandez and Joby Clayton all talking during his fights with Ruiz, Pulev and the first Usyk fight.

[@ahermens]

@@mattstone5067 Flipping heck I forgot about that. How about the Francis fight?

[@IVWOR]

USYK 💪🇺🇦 ❤️ WE NEED MORE EXCUSES for FURY ! Happy new year .)

[@PrinceOfPrimroseT.V]

Andy Lee was the one saying tyson was winning the fight after round 10 watching talkin about

[@freedom4mealways]

Usyk is the product of a well-oiled machine! The rematch should also be intriguing. In the H. Fury-Pulev fight, H. Fury and P. Fury had to change the game plan. As P. Fury has always stated, it is all about executing the game plan first. It is not first and foremost about scoring points and getting knockouts as those are just merely by-products of the game plan. When H. Fury was cut, he and P. Fury decided to go for the knockout. It was a big departure from the original game plan but they had no choice as they knew the referee could stop the fight at anytime due to that cut. Going for knockouts should be done out of necessity. Going for knockouts should never be the sole or even primary strategy due to machohood and bravado. This is what Peter Fury has said for many years. Yet Sugar Hill and T. Fury were citing this for these reasons only. While T. Fury is known for talking bravado just for the sake of talking bravado, Hill is not. He was dead serious when he said that this fight would be a chess match for sometime and then T. Fury would catch up with Usyk to knock him out. Hill really wanted T. Fury to make a statement like that by knocking out Usyk. The only statement P. Fury feels needs to be made is for his fighter to get the clear and unquestionable victory. T. Fury's victory over W. Klitschko was boring and unexciting. However that triumph was clear and was not subject to questioning. Boxing is not about being macho. It is about using both aggressive and conservative methods to win and also about countering those methods used by the opponent. Peter Fury has pretty much expressed this over the years. There is no one other than him who can help T. Fury come up with the right combinations of thinking and doing, acting and reacting, and complexity and simplicity for the entire fight.

[@wayneconway7003]

No matter who is in Fury's corner he will always lose to Usyk. Usyk is just levels above Fury. Usyk has his number!!!
