“Time to Break Necks and Cash Cheques”: Tyson Fury’s Bold Message Following Open Workout Draws Mixed Reactions From Fans

It’s almost here, folks! Francis Ngannou will take on the mighty Tyson Fury in Riyad, Saudi Arabia. Despite all the criticism, the fight is predicted to be the biggest crossover boxing event since Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather. However, ahead of fight night on 28 October, Fury took to Instagram to share some pictures along with a message to the boxing world. 

Yesterday, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou finally made their way to Saudi Arabia, received by a massive reception party. And today, Tyson’s open workout took place in Kingdom Arena in Saudi. Sharing pictures from the event, Tyson wrote a bold message for his fans. It read, “I make this look good…Tell everyone that the Gypsy King has arrived, and my stage is set!” As the post started circulating on Instagram, something unexpected happened. Instead of cheering for the champion, the post received mixed responses from the boxing world.

Tyson Fury receives unexpected reactions from the boxing world

Since the pictures of Tyson’s media day workout went live, the post has generated over 33K likes and more than 200 comments. While some users showed excitement about the upcoming fight, others poked fun at the heavyweight champion. 

One user succinctly described their excitement for the upcoming fight with a remarkably catchy line. The user wrote, “Time to break necks and cash cheques.” Notably, the fight is expected to generate a boatload of cash because of the anticipation surrounding it. 

Another user wrote some motivating words for Fury, claiming Fury has the upcoming fight in his pocket. The comment read, “Come on king! You got this!” What’s more, most fans and pundits are confident about Fury’s win because of his extensive boxing experience. But there is always that tiny chance for an upset.

While others are confident Fury will take home the win, this user doesn’t share that opinion. The user commented, “Nganou will smoke you.” Even though the opinion is not popular, some people in the boxing world have shown confidence in Ngannou’s punching prowess.

Someone else voiced their frustration with Fury not fighting Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. The comment from the user read, “Think ppl are getting fed up with you, to be fair. Fight Usyk and Joshua.” While the Usyk fight has been announced for later this year, there are no known plans for a bout with Joshua. 

The next user was even more brutal with his words, as the user suggested Fury should move over to WWE because he would fit in there perfectly. The comment read, “Next, you should go to the WWE, your clown ass would fit in well.”

Ahead of his much-discussed fight against Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury intended to share moments from his media day workout with his followers alongside a message. But seemingly, it has fallen flat on its face – as the comments suggest. What do you think about the pictures? What do you think about Fury’s message?
