I'm a mess in distress
But we're still the best dressed
*Puts on Johnny Carson Carnac the Magnificent hat* Tyson Fury will be knocked out in the 8th round by Dillian Whyte because everyone asking him about Daniel Kinahan has messed with him

Musk threatens the inorganic promotion of left-wing ideology that had been taking place on the platform

Block me for being an unironic DeSantis fan, too!
Whyte must be a better inside fighter. Stronger legs, wicked left hook, extreme strength. Wilder needed some range for his kill shot. I just don't think Fury will let him get too close.

A true renaissance man


Idk if any boxing only posters missed it but last week a UFC fighter thanked kinehan in his post fight speech and also said "not my business" when asked about the crimes afterward.

Athletes - "thank you to mobster for giving me money and support to help with my fighting business"

Journalist - "you know that mobster is a criminal who gets money by doing mobster business crimes"

Athletes - "that is none of my business"

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Just add it to the very long list of why fury is bad and you shouldn't like him.

Currently in a pub not far from Wembley that is slowly filling up with coked up groups of lads going to the fight. Might stream it but suspect fury will just jab at Whyte keeping his distance for 12

If you can point me to ANY fight promoter that isn't at least tangentially tied to criminal enterprise I'll be loving shocked. Not excusing anyone's lovely behavior, I'm just saying- the fight game is gross and has very deep seated ties to sketchy rear end motherfuckers. Always has, always will.

Eh MTK was a different scale though. Founded by someone clearly identified as a drug lord with all their fighters posting glowing statement's about him whilst somehow surviving as a business whilst taking a 0% cut for their most famous fighters.

That said boxing is definitely dodgy as gently caress. A colleague was the ringside doctor for some major fights and even for stuff at Wembley it was normal for everyone to be paid with envelopes of cash.

Keep on smilin'



:unsmith:
Yeah MTK was blatant from the start. The early days of mob involvement in the pro boxing game gets a bit of benefit of doubt given the time that has passed, but the Kinahans are next level and have been operating in the open. I thought things would've came to a head when Jamie Moore got shot in Marbella but it just kept rolling on and on.

Tyson's a bit of a prick and has some abhorrent views but I just can't hate him. The AJ-Fury golden cow being melted on both sides would be bloody hilarious though so :getin: either way tonight.
