Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Best Brother by Tyson Anthony Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Best Brother by Tyson Anthony Tyson Fury and brother Tommy soak up the sun with fans in Miami as Gypsy King quits booze ahead of Anthony Joshua fight. TYSON FURY is still enjoying his warm-weather break to Miami with brother Tommy. The Fury brothers have been lapping up the Florida sun for the best part of a week having flown there from Texas after supporting Billy Joe Saunders in his ill-fated clash with Canelo Alvarez. And the pair, 32 and 22 respectively, appear to still be enjoying their getaway, despite all the photo requests. WBC heavyweight king Tyson was spotted by a group of fans with their young kids as he was enjoying a relaxing day by the pool. The Gypsy King was happy to oblige the fans' photo request - carrying both children as he smiled for the camera. Tyson's trip to Miami has also been a break from his Vegas training camp for his undisputed heavyweight title fight with Anthony Joshua. A source told SunSport: “Tyson has kicked the booze on the head for good. "It is not because of the boxing, because he can always get in shape for fights and obviously doesn’t drink during training camps. “Tyson is doing this for himself and his family — especially his wife Paris. “And he reckons it is the best way to be a great dad and stay in shape physically and mentally.” Fury's quitting of the booze comes after he claimed to be drinking '12 pints of lager a day'. In March, he said: “I have stopped training at the moment, I am on holiday. “I am drinking between eight, ten, 12 pints of lager a day.” Most read in Boxing. WOOD'NT DARE. NEITHER HEARN NOR THERE.

Fury, however, confirmed the fight is set on Sunday night, telling his 4.2million Instagram followers: "Got some massive news for you all.

The Sun website is regulated by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) Anthony Joshua will be ‘easiest fight’ of Tyson Fury’s career, claims brother Tommy and insists AJ would even be knocked out by Deontay Wilder. Tyson Fury will wipe the floor with ‘walking billboard’ Anthony Joshua, little brother Tommy believes. Negotiations between both camps for an undisputed heavyweight title fight in 2021 are still ongoing, with the location unlikely to be in the UK. But, as long as the two Brits can stop talking and start fighting, fans will care little as Fury and Joshua are undoubtedly the top two heavyweights at present and need to meet in the ring. Of course, financial terms were agreed back in June before Joshua’s fight against mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev, whom he dispatched with consummate ease in nine rounds last month. AJ vs Fury would be among the biggest boxing fights of all time but according to the Gypsy King’s little brother, Tommy, only one outcome is possible. The former Love Island star and lightweight prospect insists Tyson is simply too good for Joshua and the bout would be the ‘easiest’ of his brother’s professional career. Tommy Fury told the Daily Mail: ‘It’s definitely going to be a good fight but I’ve always said, from day one, it will be his easiest fight and I have no doubt about that. “Joshua is tailor-made for Tyson, what a great build-up it’s going to be and what a great fight. “He [AJ] is what he is, he’s a master salesman, he looks good, he talks well, he’s a walking billboard. He’s the perfect role model, but that’s no good when it comes to fighting. You’ve got to throw that out the window, it’s not about who’s got a better smile, it’s who can fight the best and I know for a fact that is Tyson. “I’ll never knock a man while he’s down as it’s something we all wish to never go through, but I’ve just seen certain things [weaknesses] in that fight that against [Andy] Ruiz Jr which I’ve never seen in Tyson.” Fury stopped Deontay Wilder in seven rounds back in February 2020 having had the former WBC champion on the seat of his pants twice in Sin City. It was a complete role reversal for the two men, with the Brit having to clamber off the canvas twice in the first fight back in 2018 in Los Angeles. Despite the ease in which Fury managed to coast the sequel, brother Tommy still believes Wilder presents a far more dangerous proposition than WBA, WBO and IBF champion Joshua. “Wilder would have knocked out Joshua within two or three rounds,” he added.” “I know it’s heavyweight boxing and you can never say never, but there is nothing in that fight against Joshua that worries me for Tyson, especially like the Tyson I’ve seen now. “He can walk through walls, he’s invincible and it’s going to take some man to beat him and I haven’t seen him being born yet. “To beat Tyson, you’re going to have to kill him. “The only way you’re beating him is if you knock him out cold and he’s already been hit by the biggest puncher that’s ever lived. “So how’s Joshua going to do it? He isn’t, so I think it’s going to be a very easy night for him.” Tommy Fury, younger brother of Tyson, set to appear on reality show Love Island. The younger brother of boxer Tyson Fury is among this year’s line-up of Love Island contestants. Twenty-year-old Tommy is one of the 12 names hoping to find love – as is the younger brother of Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard, Curtis. Seven boys and five girls will enter the villa when the ITV2 series returns on June 3. Hailing from Manchester, Tommy, who fights as a light-heavyweight boxer, said when asked about his claim to fame, that he is his ‘own man’. He said: “It’s (my claim to fame) probably my brother, Tyson, but I’m my own man and I’ve said it throughout my whole boxing career. I don’t want to be labelled as his little brother, I’m my own man and I’m doing the best that I can do in life and that’s all I’m setting out to achieve.” Asked how he rated himself, he says he’s a ‘solid eight’ and named singer Ariana Grande as his celebrity crush.

He added: “I’ve had a wandering eye before but I addressed that straight away. I’ve never cheated and I never will cheat. I’m a loyal guy down to the roots.” Dancer Pritchard, 23, hails from Shropshire and has competed on Ireland’s Dancing With The Stars. He and his brother AJ, 24, who has been on BBC One’s Strictly since 2016, made headlines at the end of last year after they were attacked in a Cheshire nightclub. Following the attack, Curtis needed knee surgery, while AJ was left with bruising to his face, arms, body and legs. The Latin and Ballroom star said he was not a dating expert, explaining he’s only been on ‘less than 10 dates, maybe five’. He said: “I have lived a very sheltered life because of my dancing, I’ve not done a lot of going out partying, going on dates because I haven’t had time to. “Being truthful I’ve probably been on less than 10 dates, maybe five dates. I have never met anyone online, I’ve never used a dating app. I’ve met everyone in person, which I think is better.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

  • Fury's Comeback Falls Just Short in Los Angeles
    PRESENTS FURY’S COMEBACK FALLS JUST SHORT IN LOS ANGELES GOBSMACKED! By William Dettloff yson Fury made but two mistakes Saturday night against Deontay Wilder, and those mistakes – along with an indefensible scorecard turned in by Alejandro TRochin – resulted in a mostly derided draw ver- dict in front of a purported 17,698 at The Sta- ples Center in Los Angeles. Fury – he of the nearly three-year layoff, manic depression, confessed drug and alcohol binges and morbid obesity – boxed Wilder ragged for the majority of the fight, displaying a quickness, dexterity and nimbleness of foot that belied his 6’9”, 256-pound frame. He consistently ducked, rolled with or slipped under Wilder’s attacks, which admittedly were crude at best, and feinted Wilder into knots before stepping forward with short, crisp combinations. “I’m what you call a pro athlete that loves to box,” Fury said afterward. “I don’t know anyone on the planet that can move like that. That man is a fearsome puncher and I was able to avoid that. The world knows I won the fight,” he said. Such was Fury’s early dominance that there was perhaps one round out of the first six that the clear-eyed and uncor- rupted could reasonably give to Wilder. Rochin gifted him the first four, which at the end contributed to an inexplica- ble 115-111 card. Judges Robert Tapper and Phil Edwards scored it a more reasonable 114-112 for Fury and 113-113, respectively. RINGSIDE SEAT saw Fury the winner by a 115-111 margin.

  • Tommy Fury Signs for Frank Warren
    TOMMY FURY SIGNS FOR FRANK WARREN Tommy Fury, the younger brother of Tyson Fury, has signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren and will make his professional bow on the undercard of Josh Warrington’s world title defence against Carl Frampton in Manchester on December 22nd. At 19-years-old, Tommy is the youngest out of the fighting Fury family. With older brother Tyson already having achieved so much within the sport and having the opportunity to engrave his name onto the WBC World Heavyweight title come December 1st, Tommy is under no illusion that his world renowned ‘Fury’ name will certainly gather plenty of attention when he laces up the gloves on December 22nd. “It’s big shoes to fill isn’t it?!” joked Tommy. He continued: “…But sure, it’s a big name to live up to but I don’t feel any added pressure on myself because of it, I know that I will make my own name in this sport.” Boxing has been in Tommy’s life since the day he was born and began to take the sport more seriously as a 12-year-old, but due to the shortage of opponents willing to fight him, boxing was a very stop-start process at first. “I only had 12 amateur fights in the end. I went to the nationals and got to the final, won the north regionals twice, so I did reasonably well. “But amateur boxing and professional boxing are two different things. I regularly spar with Hughie [Fury, Tommy’s cousin] and his sparring partners and I know I am more suited to the pro game.” Tommy will begin his professional journey as a light- heavyweight under the tutelage of British boxing hero Ricky Hatton at the Hatton gym in Manchester.

While steps will be taken to keep Tyson Fury away from Jessica Ennis-Hill, it may also be wise to put Greg Rutherford at the opposite end of the room to the recently crowned heavyweight champion of the world. It was Fury’s sexist comments about Ennis-Hill, combined with his forthright views aligning homosexuality and pedophilia, that riled Rutherford enough for the Olympic long jump champion to withdraw from the SPOTY 2015 running before changing his mind. Joining the chorus of condemnation for Fury are Northern Ireland’s largest gay rights group the Rainbow Project, who this week labeled his comments as ‘extremely callous’ and ‘erroneous’. In response to Fury’s insistence that a woman’s place is ‘in the kitchen or on her back’, feminist group Fight4Equality has blasted the self-titled Gypsy King’s ‘neanderthal worldview’ insisting Fury ‘should not be feted as a role model for young people.’ Both groups will be joined by other LGBT campaigners outside Belfast’s SSE Arena on Sunday evening to picket the BBC, angry that the show will go on despite vocal public opposition to Fury’s involvement.

  • Tyson Fury Back at a Work on One Plan That Emerged After He Was
    Media Workout: Tyson Fury & Otto Wallin Kick off Mexican Independence Day Weekend Card in Style LAS VEGAS (Sept. 10, 2019) —Tyson Fury sure knows how to dress for the occasion. Fury, the lineal heavyweight champion, entered Tuesday’s media workout in a traditional lucha libre wrestling mask. Fury will defend his title against fellow unbeaten Otto Wallin Saturday at T-Mobile Arena as part of the Las Vegas’ Mexican Independence Day Weekend festivities. WBO junior featherweight world champion Emanuel Navarrete will defend his title against Juan Miguel Elorde in the co-feature (ESPN+, 11 p.m. ET), while former two-division world champion Jose Pedraza will take on Mexican veteran Jose Zepeda in a 10-round super lightweight showdown. The entire undercard, including Pedraza-Zepeda and appearances by Gabriel Flores Jr. and heavyweight sensation Guido Vianello, will stream live on ESPN+ starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. This is what the fighters had to say at the media workout. Tyson Fury “I’m just enjoying life, taking one day at a time and inspiring people to do well in their life, too.” “I wore a traditional Mexican mask because it’s Mexican Independence Day Weekend and the ‘Gypsy King’ is here in Las Vegas to put on a show for all the Mexican fans. Viva Mexico!” “I can defeat all the heavyweights with one hand. As you saw today, lightning speed, lightning reflexes for a giant. I’m a giant of a heavyweight. There has never been a heavyweight like me. There has never been a man of my size who can move like that.

  • Fighters, Pundits and Famous Fans Have Their Say
    THE FIGHT EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT: FIGHTERS, PUNDITS AND FAMOUS FANS HAVE THEIR SAY AT LAST, Dubois vs Joyce is finally happening. It is a fight that has captured the public imagination and it goes down this Saturday night live on BT Sport 1 HD from 7.30pm. Below are a selection of prediction quotes from some of the biggest names in the sport, and a few famous fans for good measure. TYSON FURY I want to be there for that. I want to be the commentary man for that fight. That’s a fight I do not want to miss. Both good fighters. Joe’s a big strong unit, Juggernaut, get in the way he’ll run you over. Daniel’s big and strong and youthful, fresh. They’re both good fighters and it’ll come down to who wants it more on the night. They’re both capable of winning, they’re both capable of pulling victories out and they’re both capable of knocking the other person out. It’s a fight you don’t want to miss. Watch it live and exclusive on BT Sport. DAVID HAYE I can see it going both ways. I can see Dubois being able to stop Joyce if it’s an early shootout. But, if it’s not an early shootout and it becomes a boxing match, I believe that works in Joe Joyce’s favour. So I’m going to go with the man I know, the man I’ve seen take some beatings and soak it up, I’m going to go with Joe Joyce by points decision or late stoppage.

  • Ancient Games: Tyson Fury Jabs at Wilder with Rhetorical Feints
    Ancient Games: Tyson Fury jabs at Wilder with rhetorical feints By Norm Frauenheim- Tyson Fury calls himself a boxing historian, which means more than a basic understanding of what it is to be the lineal heavyweight champion. Mostly, it means he understands deception. He practices the art and even drops occasional references to Sun Tzu, an ancient philosopher quoted by Generals, cornermen, West Point professors and lineal heavyweight champs. Deontay Wilder calls Fury a con man and maybe he is. But a fighter without a good con enters the ring without a fundamental weapon. No feint, no chance. “All warfare is based on deception,’’ Tzu said in his classic, The Art of War. “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak,’’ he also wrote. Those are quotes to remember as Fury’s rematch with Wilder approaches on Feb. 22 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand in a Fox/ESPN pay-per-view bout. Between sticking out his tongue and mocking Wilder with dancing eyes, Fury talks. And talks. It’s hard to know what’s real and what’s fake, what’s true and what’s feint. But that’s the idea in the buildup, a series of news conferences that set the stage for the head games that precede any opening bell. Fury is trying to confuse Wilder, who knocked him down twice with the most feared right hand in at least a generation. Wilder says there’s no eluding his power. Few have. His record includes an astonishing 41 stoppages in 43 fights. But the record also includes the draw with Fury Dec.

  • Anthony Joshua & Tyson Fury Agree to Two Fights
    Anthony Joshua & Tyson Fury agree to two fights British World Heavyweight Champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have agreed to a two-fight deal, says promoter Eddie Hearn. Talks over an historic bout for the undisputed title began in early May and have been finalised today. Joshua, 30, holds the WBA, IBF and WBO belts while 31-year-old Fury is the WBC champion. The winner would bring all the belts together which is called “Unifying the division” for the first time since Britain’s Lennox Lewis in 1999. The successful athlete would become the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion and hold all 4 belts at the same time. "It's fair to say that Joshua and Fury are in agreement about the financial terms of the fight" Hearn, who is Joshua's promoter, told Sky Sports News. The actual amounts have not been disclosed but the total amount of money for the fight is thought to be around £150 million which would be split 50/50 for the first fight and then 60/40 in favour of the winner of the second fight. Fury expressed his delight at the news in a social media post. The Manchester- born boxer said he would fight Joshua in 2021, but would first have to overcome the "hurdle in the road" Deontay Wilder, in a third meeting. Fury is contracted to fight the American, who he beat to win the WBC title in February. Joshua, who reclaimed his world titles in December, has to face his mandatory challenger, Bulgaria's Kubrat Pulev, when the sport fully resumes after the coronavirus shutdown.
