Frank Warren column: Critics out for Tyson Fury however he has executed nothing incorrect
The doom mongers continue to claim this is the end of the Tyson Fury era. What a farce. Tyson will only be judged when his career is over.
This week a video emerged of Tyson out in a local pub and his critics were sharpening their knives ready to attack.
Of course what they don’t know is that Tyson doesn’t need a lot to get drunk. He wrote in his own book that it only takes him three pints to feel worse for wear.
But so what? The man was out enjoying himself as he’s on a break after a long, hard camp that had an injury delay for his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Isn’t he allowed to have a drink? Did Jack Grealish get such criticism when people were lapping up his drunken celebrations at Manchester City’s title parades the last two seasons?
Of course not, that was all seen as a laugh and just a young man enjoying himself. Tyson was just doing what any man would do on a break from work. I had a few drinks myself last week and felt a bit boozy. Is it a crime?
Tyson is just an easy target for critics. We’ve seen them all come out since he lost to Usyk. They all say that Usyk is this great of the generation, a world-class fighter. And I agree, he is.
But he didn’t beat Tyson by a country mile did he? It was a very close fight and a few people had Fury nicking it. Yet it is easy to just say that all this is a sign that Tyson is coming to the end.
Remember when Muhammad Ali lost to Joe Frazier? What happened when they fought again? Ali went and won the second and third fights to come out on top of the trilogy. Anyone can win when the best is facing the best.
As Tyson said himself this week, he’s done it all in boxing except for coming back from a defeat. Now he’s looking to tick that box in the rematch.
He’s ticking over in training now and camp will start in a few weeks for their December date. Until then let the man enjoy himself.
