Fury Arrives At Klitschko Presser Dressed As Batman - Runs Around Room

by hazharrison Wed Sep 23, 2015 5:30 am

Fury is about to break the internet.

How can you not love this guy?

by Scottrf Wed Sep 23, 2015 5:32 am

You must get really excited at stag dos or University nights out.

I used to. I'm a bit sedate these days but I do find this hilarious knowing how seriously Klitschko takes himself. He's just wrestled someone dressed as The Joker to the ground and rolled over a cameraman.

It's not Larry Holmes drop-kicking Trevor Berbick off the roof of a car but I'll take it.

by Scottrf Wed Sep 23, 2015 5:37 am

Does sound a bit better than the usual drivel to be fair.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Wed Sep 23, 2015 5:38 am

Fury proper cracks me up. Legend.

by hazharrison Wed Sep 23, 2015 5:39 am

He walked out and returned in a suit saying "sorry I'm late.....traffic". Wlad's face looks like he's just lost a winning lottery ticket.

I take every ounce of sarcasm back. Quality.

Ah, Klitschko has labelled him a clown and now Fury's taken his jacket off and is being restrained. I'm not an expert but he may, just may be bi-polar....

They just showed the wrestling bit with "The Joker" and when he takes his jacket off and gets angry on SkySports. My days the guy is mad as a box of frogs. Great value.

Gonna end up getting KTFO'd mind you.

by Pedro147 Wed Sep 23, 2015 6:12 am

Not a fan of Fury at all and hope he loses but this is hilarious.

by milkyboy Wed Sep 23, 2015 6:20 am

what's not to love about him?

I'm sure hammersmith will be along shortly with a list.

by ONETWOFOREVER Wed Sep 23, 2015 6:27 am

Someone has to inject a little excitment or we would be stuck with Wlad and his metallic droll.

Cue Rowley to defend Wlad to the hilt.

by shenglong2015 Wed Sep 23, 2015 6:40 am

I wanna see it! Stuck in work ffs!

I also wouldnt miss the fight for the world, so whatever sort of marketing it is, its certainly worked on me!

1. He's not American
2. He's not dull
3. He gets hit

Hard not to find that funny. One of those moments I find myself quite liking Fury......

by **Seanusarrilius** Wed Sep 23, 2015 8:14 am

HAhahahahahaahaha

Love it. Fury has made this a fine spectacle. After Haye, Chisora and Fury, Wlad must think the UK breeds nothing but maniacs

No need to defend Wlad, he keeps winning, he does the job for himself

by Pound-for-Pound Wed Sep 23, 2015 8:33 am

After watching the press conference I really want Tyson to pull the upset. Unfortunately, afterwards I also gave a quick re-watch to Fury Vs Hammer so those hopes were quickly dashed.

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed Sep 23, 2015 8:43 am

Poor old Wlad after Briggs he must think the World has gone mad...

Unfortunately Wlad is a consummate pro and stunts like these will probably stiffen his resolve.

by **Seanusarrilius** Wed Sep 23, 2015 8:55 am

Fury will dominate the build up.

Klit will punish him come fight night

by Nico the gman Wed Sep 23, 2015 9:04 am

Never been a Tyson Fury fan, but would love to see him throw one big wild swing and put Wlad on his a$$e, highly unlikely though.

by Guest Wed Sep 23, 2015 11:14 am

Batman? More like batsh1t crazy!

If playground humour floats your boat and others Milky then fair enough but come fight night he's going to get brutally knocked out and made a fool of.

by Guest Wed Sep 23, 2015 12:10 pm

I guess this must be Fury's biggest paying fight so who can blame him for trying to sell it. It will also be his biggest fight and potentially career defining fight. As long as he doesn't get too embarrassed it should open up a few more doors for him. Of course in the unlikely event that he wins ... then he can put away his batman costume.

by Lance Wed Sep 23, 2015 12:13 pm

Was funny when entered. The rest of it where he was talking was awful. Just a thick kid throwing out incohesive insults. Wlad didn't look bothered at all. Not many people attended either. Outside of the UK this is considered a very poor defence by Wlad

by AdamT Wed Sep 23, 2015 12:16 pm

I like Fury. Cracks me up.

by Lance Wed Sep 23, 2015 12:19 pm

I like him in candid situations. Don't think he has a sharp enough brain for press conferences though. Doesnt look or sound comfortable

by milkyboy Wed Sep 23, 2015 1:13 pm

I don't give a hoot about him one way or the other... what amuses me about him is how his clown act to sell tickets and keep himself in the public eye, annoys the hell out of people.

I do though think he's improved as a boxer, he was excellent in the first couple of rounds of chisora 2. Some are so consumed by loathing for him they won't give him credit for anything.

Most likely he ends up horizontal in this one though, or succumbing to a scrappy landslide points defeat.

by wheelchair1991 Wed Sep 23, 2015 2:34 pm

As funny as this is i have a feeling it will have killed any complacancy wlad may have had about the fight

by Dipper Brown Wed Sep 23, 2015 2:49 pm

Found it funny after all the posturing that Adam Smith said 'sit down Tyson' in a stern voice and Tyson instantly obliged.

Milky' correct, Fury is a massively improved fighter. He's made it to the point where he's as viable a challenger as any of Wlad's recent mandatories. I understand that's not the most glowing compliment but he's not the self-punching, no mark buffoon some suggest. Reality however is, he's probably going to go the way of most Wlad's mandatories.

by Lance Wed Sep 23, 2015 3:21 pm

He has certainly improved but its hard to know how much. Chisora is still the best guy he has faced. Too much time fighting nobodies. Don't think he is as prepared for Wlad as he could have been. They didn't want to risk testing him too much though.

Should know by now Hammersmith is the most dour, miserable beggar on here. Doesn't even enjoy watching GGG and Kovalev - which speaks volumes.

Cheers, Rodders

Damn it, better raise my game.

by Hammersmith harrier Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:41 am

Why should I enjoy watching two Eastern European, I forgot Rodney you decide what is and isn't exciting to 6. Watching a grown man dress up and act like a child isn't my idea of humour, he's a puerile embarrassment.

So if they were a different nationality they'd be more appealing to you ? Quite a strange individual. As for Fury it was little bit of light hearted fun - certainly beats the regurgitated soundbites of a certain retired fighter.

Cheers, Rodders

by Hammersmith harrier Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:48 am

Don't try and dictate to me what I should and shouldn't enjoy watching, if they British or American it would be different, as it is I have no connection to them.

by Rowley Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:49 am

I enjoyed it Rodney, made a change and think it pays not to take Fury too seriously, he certainly does not take himself too seriously so not sure we should.

by Valero's Conscience Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:03 am

I used to hate him but growing to like him a lot!

Team Fury!

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:06 am

He's a big kid isn't he ?/........Hard to dislike him.........Very patient with the fans too apparently.....

Hope he wins and with Wlad's chin I give him more chance than most....

But I wouldn't bet on it..

by Qoxiivi Thu Sep 24, 2015 5:13 am

I found this embarrassing and not entertaining in the slightest, I have to say.

by Eyetoldyouso Thu Sep 24, 2015 5:31 am

I thought this was great fun. And he wasn't just throwing insults around like confetti. These are 2 quotes where he recognises defeat as a possibility. I think Wlad likes him as well.

'Don't do your usual jab, punch and run. Let's make it a fight. I want to feel pain. I want you to hurt me. I want broken noses and blood and bright lights behind the eyes. To be honest I don't care if you beat me as long as you do the job properly. If that happens once I get up I'll give you the biggest hug in the world and there'll be no excuses from me.'

'Really, I'm a realist. Either he will knock me out or I will knock him out. There's just two elements here - win or lose. To be honest I'm not fussed either way. I just want it to be a good fight and if it's a draw we can have a massive rematch.'

by DuransHorse Thu Sep 24, 2015 6:27 am

I agree with Fury that there are two elements, win or lose... but if they draw they can rematch.

I'm hoping he can do the business. I liked yesterday's antics. It may have been a little cringewothy but he doesn't care and the alternative wouldn't have made for a great presser. Headlines without scandal are OK by me.

People can like and dislike who they want, find it a bit of fun or cringe with embarrassment, but this is the crux... Some of those hating on him don't seem to appreciate that it's all just a game for him. The real egotist's are the tossers who talk about themselves in the third person, who get obsessed by their own self importance. Who say they're the greatest ever and actually mean/believe it.

I can understand people thinking he's childish, thinking his antics demean the sport, thinking he's a crap boxer, but please... taking what he says seriously?! Yet some seem to.

Yeah and by dressing as Batman and wrestling the Joker in a press conference he has done alot to dispell this myth.....

The ususal Truss covering all angles so afterwards he can declare himself a boxing nostradamus....

"I said he would win"

or

"I told you not to bet on him"

Can read you like a Dickens Truss.
