I worked for the Home Office on Tackling Knives & Serious Youth Violence Action Programme (I, II & III) across the UK. It made massive inroads into tackling the issues in a truly holistic and partnership approach. Unfortunately all the learning seems to have been dumped.

Fury stated, “Hi guys, Tyson Fury here, AKA the Gypsy King. I’ve just seen Joshua lose for the second time to Usyk – out of his depth. However, England has been relieved of its belts yet again, as usual. But, there is a remedy and a solution that I can suggest. If you want those belts back, then send in the Gypsy Barbarian, of England, come on. Send me in, I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts like I did the last Ukrainian dosser, but it’s not gonna be cheap. If you want the best, then you’ve gotta pay. It’s going to be very expensive, so get your f***g cheque book out and I will relieve that Ukrainian dosser of them belts YOU KNOW!”
