Eddie and ajs puppet, around 10-11 minutes, fury only fights twice a year at best says bellew and then he says i tried to fight every 6 months , about as intelligent as aj. What a dope.
I’m not sure which side of the fence I’m on when it comes to fury’s mental health issues. I think almost everyone goes through crises from time to time. Some fall under and don’t come out of it sadly. Some get through it themselves and some need help. Fury’s own seem to have fallen at a convenient time when he was failing a drugs test anyway. (I think)
no doubt things spiralled on him and he hit that weight gain etc. since he’s come back he looks very in check and that’s good.
in the docu he made he just sniffed out some man who obviously had problems and took him for a run. Superman stuff. That’s BS. I’m troubled by someone who claims to have been affected so badly by mental health set up such a ridiculous scenario and I wonder at the motivations. I didn’t like the belittling and taunting of wilder and now Joshua either. He may have had awful problems sure but if he had then that suggests he hasn’t learned all that much compassion.
i don’t think Walshe is making light of the mental health issues and to suggest his loved ones may be victimised by his ignorance is out of line. His opinion is based on context. He’s allowed to say he doesn’t buy it and defend that stance. Those attacking are using unhelpful language like loon and “commit suicide” let’s leave that out. None of us is bullet proof
An excellent common sense balanced post. I stand by my view that he played the mental health card here, or at least exaggerated it. Nobody is laughing or belittling anyone, either as some posters have suggested.
The only belittling and digging was by the very man that should (after his claims of suffering with mental health issues) have known better. You hit the nail on the head regarding learning compassion.
Imagine people believe this fella whenis a he says it's Furys fault the AJ fight ain't happening,
Constant lies from him
on what basis are you making out that an elite sports person put on 10 stone and took a 3 year hiatus abusing drink and drugs wasn’t due to some form of breakdown, so you think he just did it for the crack.
i don’t agree with either of you and while the other post is worded less offensively it amounts to the same thing.
Looks like karma for eddie if benn is cancelled after he essentially put a stop to Joshua fighting fury. Couldn't happen to a better guy, delighted.
Thats all fair enough but when someone makes a comment that
"Well, here's the thing.....what did he do that was so bad, anyway.....?He did PEDs, ate food (gained weight), drank alcohol and did illegal drugs.....
No idea why mental health had to be even considered"
It makes the assumption somebody has to do something bad to have mental health issues which is talk that's gone out since the Dinosaurs & is not helpful, We don't know the age demographic here and what people reading this are going through
So i believe people have every right to pull him up & says that kind of talk is wrong & nonsense,
I don't want to derail the thread as it's one of the better ones, He is also a good poster, but it's ok to call each other out respectfully for comments,
Personally I don't think it was Eddie I think it was AJ coaching team & management company but as AJ promoter Eddie has to make it look otherwise
Dunno man, hes hearns cash cow. Either way its a good day today to see hearn scramble.
Bad few days for Eddie then .
Who says he did illegal drugs and put on weight for the craic?
I have no idea why he did what he did, and I don’t care. I simply believe that he played up/exaggerated the mental health angle to justify/explain his behaviours. To me it was just a man behaving a certain way. Plenty people use excuses to explain certain behaviours. Big deal.
Doesn’t mean we automatically take their reasons and excuses as genuine, sincere and true.
People need to quit taking offence for differing views.
Eddie know about Ben for two weeks
Makes sense now why Eubank Senior came out last week saying everyone should boycott the fight
Hearn will do whatever brings in the money. The likelihood is AJ fighting Fury will finish his career. Eddie wants to roll his out against a few domestic lads yet. Bring in some coin.
Hearn's carry-on today has been shocking. He is a blight on sport.
With all the talk of mental health I see Eubank Senior had only been discharged from facility today
Thank ****, they are actually having a good week! This seems a total waste of Dubois's time and not good for the health of Browne.
Not sure what his age has to do with it when he’s the same age as Ortiz who’s allegedly 43
Lucas Browne is an Aussie national level fighter. He won a decision and a belt against a 45-year-old James Toney almost ten years ago. He is past it. The last few years, Hearn wheeled him out for various fighters as a steppingstone and to make a quick little earner. Also, Browne has failed more drug tests than you could shake a stick at.
The boxing board didn’t say he was past it they said it’s due to his age, if he passes the fitness test required to fight then that’s all that should be needed, boxing is more about politics than fighters these days and I’m guessing someone didn’t get their brown envelope (pardon the pun).
browne may not be a great boxer but he’s a prize fighter and he wants to get paid for his craft and I think he’s right to be annoyed.
dubois vs Bryan was a terrible fight and Bryan is way past his best at only 33
A Dr UZ who is associated with boxers in the U.K. has today deleted all his socials and website, there’s some big names on this list including fury and his specialty is testosterone replacement therapy

Absolutely does have a right to earn his crust. (that said, do you have a right when you've failed a lot of tests... that's problematic for me.)
But neither Hearn or Warren should be putting a 43-year-old national fighter in against a top-notch opponent approaching their prime with savage knockout power. It's bullsh*t.
Browne has been looking gassed in 6 rounders.
I’ve seen worse mismatches… Dubois has done nothing of note yet..
His twitter and podcast is still up.
Since when is dubois a top notch fighter ? He’s beaten nobody of note, he’s a decent prospect and that’s it
im not taking offense I am disagreeing with you. You need to stop assuming someone holding a different view to you is them taking offense.
He's stopped 17 out of 19 opponents. 12 out of those in the 1st or 2nd round. Just won the WBA title with a fourth-round knockout. Hasn't beaten a top dog. But in my estimation, he is a top fighter. Very exciting. Only 25. A good bit more than a prospect. A very very dangerous fighter. He'll be one of the main men in the not-too-distant future for sure.
Wrong.
He will be someone big in the future but as yet he isn’t much more than a prospect
he’s only had knock over fights bar joyce
the wba title win was another knock over that he didn’t even get paid for
I didn’t mean you, btw. Should have been clearer.
So there has never been a worse mismatch, and Dubois has done things of note?
Fair enough. I don't choose to read it so negatively.
I've seen what I've seen. Knock out power most fighters can only dream about. Smells blood and gets it done quick.
Has he weaknesses, yes. Still young for a heavyweight. He's much more than a prospect to me.
