Frank Brunos sparring partners for the Witherspoon fight in 86 were on a grand a week for the 6 week camp which was good wedge for the time....Gary Mason,God rest his soul didnt clear that much in the entire year which was i think 8 or 9 fights....i know this as its something we would laugh about in later years.....Lloyd Honeyghan won an undisputed belt and defended it 3 or 4 times but never made real life changing money......the cartel did but he didnt......world champions like Dennis Andries ended up as a security guard !.....the power back then in London was in the hands of 4 or 5 men and thats where young fighters today possibly not even on a level of some fighters back in those days need to be grateful. Expand Interesting info. Across the pond, how Don King was never roughed up or shot by the dozens of guys he ripped off, including Ali and Tyson is a mystery to me.

Fattest of all time. Twenty odd stone now. Sir Henry fought at 13 and a half stone. I think Fury over analyses/pities himself. I think lots of men have all the psychological symptoms he describes. Lots of us live on the edge. Up and down, dark thoughts, nightmares,difficulty sleeping or concentrating , fantasising briefly about smashing your car into an oncoming vehicle. I think it's part of being male. Part of life taking its toll.You pick up mental,scars along life's journey. So what? Personally I don't think there's any point in navel gazing. You just get on with it. Fury should pack in the stunts, the TV cameras, the coke and guiness benders he has with his fucktard father and stop obsessing about his f****d up head. Might help if he fought genuine opponents on a regular basis as well. No disrespect to people who are genuinely suffering and need help.I'm not underestimating mental illness at all.
