In the aftermath of Anthony Joshua’s stunning victory over Francis Ngannou, True Geordie didn’t hold back in his explosive critique, turning the spotlight fiercely onto Tyson Fury. He praised Joshua’s relentless work ethic, attributing his success to a rigorous dedication that he suggests Fury sorely lacks. “AJ’s proven he deserves what he’s got. He deserves those physical attributes and those gifts because he’s willing to put in the hard work so that the talent he’s got is maximized, he asserts.

True Geordie’s commentary didn’t just celebrate Joshua’s achievements; it served as a scathing rebuke to Fury. And do you know who’s not willing to do that? Tyson Fury. He’s not as brave as AJ, he’s not as dedicated as AJ, he’s not as hard-working as AJ. And AJ now has left him behind because he stayed dedicated. And as much as it was a bit of a phrase that AJ used to use of stay humble, stay hungry, that’s exactly why he is ahead of Fury now, he declared.

Furthermore, the YouTuber lambasted Fury for his apparent lack of hunger, especially evident in his recent performances. “The way he carries himself generally like a twat, and he’s certainly not a hungry fighter when he turns up in shape like he did against Francis, Geordie expressed. He criticized Fury’s choice of opponents and his attitude towards boxing, accusing him of being a “fraud” and not a “true champion.”

True Geordie’s diatribe reached its peak as he questioned Fury’s championship ethos, arguing that a true champion’s responsibility extends beyond the ring. “You owe it to your fans to do that. And AJ, I think cares. I actually think he gives a f**k about that. I think he actually wants to set the standard and be seen as, ‘I was a fighting man’, ‘I fought everyone’, ‘I defended my title’, and ‘I fought all the best guys’. Fury doesn’t give a f**k about that, he emphasized, championing the notion that fighters like Joshua understand and embody this principle.

Through his fiery analysis, True Geordie encapsulates a moment of reckoning, one that calls into question what it truly means to be a champion in the tumultuous world of heavyweight boxing.
