its a fun listen. talks about black opression and others wont ever know the feeling and etc. i think thats why he tagged it like that lol.
Hopefully if he was limping it was just a small muscle sprain and will be sorted. I'd say it's a rumor at this point cause don't really know what it is,
You can never tell with Tyson, he is a weird dude, he's battling depression every day, he's fine 1 moment then off the next.
He does seem a bit off recently just from observing, not sure if it's the pressure/fame or what. he doesn't seem that happy/jovial naturally recently though, the other side is he could be just laser focused on the fight and having a tough camp so just forgetting the bullshyt and focusing, can't tell with him.

i think its this. his mega famous now and when he had his episode it was became of fame pressure but now his 10X bigger.
ben his trainer was/is his dear friend, i dont know man i hope feb22 is still the date. nothing else is in the works in boxing at the moment.
Yeah he had pretty good chemistry with Ben, reading between the lines he didn't want to remove Ben, due his father's influence he wanted to add but Ben wasn't happy with that and left all together, they were good friends and Ben was somebody that would help keep him ok mentally and they would be lighthearted, his mood seems to be worse now, he doesn't seem as happy or jovial,
Tyson's team don't see that confident to me, wonder if it's not going too well or behind the scenes issues, they come across flat to me compared to how they normally are.

Maybe his depression is creeping back in. Check the interview IFLTV put up with him yesterday...he mentions it still being an issue.
Still he seems even more adamant about knocking Wilder out and is saying thats the reason he's brought in Sugar Hill - for me that game plan is all wrong. I got Wilder by a 6th/7th round stoppage.
Yeah I've seen that, he said he's getting depressed every couple of days pretty much, it could be a ploy but I don't think it is, just think he battles depression and is dealing with it. He seems worse than before though, before it seemed like he was having fun, now it seems like him and his whole camp are on a downer type mood, all of them, it's weird. Particularly after the split with Ben everything seems to be on that vibe for the most part, it's either a more serious vibe or a more down mood, possibly a combination of both.
His brother didn't seem that confident to me, and I've seen him before, he normally is, reading between the lines also I think he was psychologically trying to get to Tyson, he was saying unless Tyson wins he can't be considered great, maybe he's hoping that will spur him on. Behind the scenes I'm not getting the impression it's a happy camp though.
We also know now I think that Tyson wanted Ben Davison to stay in the camp, because Tyson and his brother said as much really, it seems like Tyson wanted to bring someone else in, whether that was as the head trainer or in the team we don't know, I think Andy Lee said intially Tyson asked him to bring someone in to work with/under Ben, but it seems as if Ben wasn't happy with that and decided to walk. Ben when asked about this recently also didn't want to answer. Previously Tyson said how Ben was an important confidant to him and they would talk for hours and shyt, Ben helped motivate him losing the weight also. His friend Billy Joe also isn't in camp with him anymore either, both can be quite upbeat characters that could make the mood better. Tyson out of nowhere mentioned Billy Joe in that interview too, so maybe he feels a bit isolated there. Tyson also didn't rule out working with Ben again, I wouldn't be shocked if he loses this fight he gets back with Ben after. I'm not convinced he's fully happy in the Top Rank deal either, think he took it just for the money.
Even his brother said the whole knockout of Wilder thing was tongue in cheek, I don't think Tyson believes he will knock him out in 2, I do think they are working on putting more power behind his shots though. Knockout talk may come from a gung ho reckless attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if he does fight a bit more aggressive, could lead to him getting knocked out.
Not sure who's gonna win the fight but in terms of how things are going so far it would seem from the outside it's going better for Wilder. He seems more calm and like how he normally is, Fury seems a bit off.

He might be playing a mind game because a sure fire win is a KO but he might be wanting Wilder to get ready for a fire fight...lol
Tyson is happy as larry..
Hopefully the fight lives up to expectations, I hope it’s not a quick knockout for Wilder, would be more entertaining with a late knockout. The fight needs time to build and take turns.
We’re about a month away now, it should be here before too long, looking forward to it. Do wish the undercard was of a higher calibre though.
