By William Mackay: Irish heavyweight Martin Rogan (14-2, 7 KO’s) thinks unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (17-0, 12 KO’s) is a big windbag and he plans on shutting his up this Saturday night in their fight for the vacant Irish heavyweight title at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Fury, 23, recently revealed that he put on 70 pounds of blubber by eating vending machine food and obviously overeating to the point where he was well over 300 pounds. It’s one thing for a non-athlete to put on that kind of weight, but quite another for a professional athlete who depends on his body for his livelihood. Fury let himself go around Christmas time and then took off the 70 pounds in only two months. That’s pretty amazing, but it also explains why Fury has looked so painfully thin around the face, neck and shoulders compared to before he put on a lot of weight.
Fury appears to have taken off a fair amount of muscle along with all the flab. That’s how fighters hurt themselves. They win a title or a big, and then reward themselves with food and balloon out of shape. When they do take the weight off during their training camp, they take it off too quickly and end up stripping muscle off along with the fat. They then get beaten up by someone they would have beaten before they put on and took off all the weight.
Rogan said o Livefight.com “He is full of s***. He is a balloon and that is nonsense. He is still out of shape and I am going to take him apart. They should of called you by your right name, ‘Butterbean Luke.’ Tyson Fury is a fake and I’m going to smash him up for all of the people in [Belfast].”
That would really hurt Fury, because he sees himself as Irish despite having grown up in England. He thinks he’s going to be cheered and adored on Saturday night in Belfast.
