Would Tyson Fury even be effective in a street fight?

yes he's a big dude 6f9, 270lb HW champion boxer....but would he even be effective in a no rules street fight

his size would make him an easy target for groin shots against him. he is essentially a bigger target for groin and other strikes to his body

Fury can punch, he is not as pillow fisted as some people make him out to be.

Fury may not be the biggest puncher, but he has very good power.

At first I thought that the OP was high but I couldn't conceive of enough drugs that I could take that would make me think that I could beat that dude's ass unless I had a gun.
 
I actually think Tyson might be one of if not the best street fighters around. His height and power, sure - but this dude takes a beating to the body in training based on what I've seen.

So your a dirty fighter? Dumb too. He's the heavyweight boxing champ of the world. Not some slow dumb moron from a Hollywood movie. Get your head out of your ass and fight like a man.

Is this a joke

Hes huge, fast, knows how to fight, and has incredible endurance

He could prob take a pack of Russian thugs by himself

That dude might be able to kill me in one punch lol. There's some bad motherfuckers out there tho so it would depend who he got into it with.

He’s was raised by Irish traveler boxers.. and he’s the fucking heavyweight champion. What do you think?

Stupid fucking question

His cardio and speed has always impressed me the most for someone of his size. I don't doubt he could handle himself in a street fight if it stayed standing. If it went to the ground and the other person was well versed in say a discipline like Judo or BJJ he'd be in trouble.

I've trained in Krav Maga for quite a few years now and have sparred with people of all shapes, sizes and various martial art backgrounds. I'm a 5ft10, 20st gym bunny and have interesting sessions when I'm thrown in with people that are 6.5ft - 6.6ft, it's always punishing trying to close the distance, bollocks to 6.9ft.

God bless strikes to vulnerable areas.🥳

Maybe. After much curiosity and attempted research on that, I haven't been able to know for sure of course but imo there's a chance he might have been some kind of killer. I lean against, but maybe. Idk if he'd be bodied by a heavyweight boxer or if he'd get to the eyes or throat or knees before that.

You didn't do enough research.

Plenty of videos on even You Tube.

They don't go down, it's a part of their culture.
 
he would steamroll most individuals, especially untrained. Apoc is waiting for the NEXT Challenger. Because going by the way he wants Fury out of the competition, that is what I am going on, about.

According to retired Mixed martial art fighter that I know...

Pretty much any trained fighter can defeat any of toughest street fighters pretty easily.
Because before they became a MMA fighter, they were one of those so-called "street fighters". Top tier ones too.

And then they became professional fighter... and train someone who's just as tough and talented... every single day.
To be honest, I'm not sure who this Tyson Fury guy is - but if he's famous in boxing scene - then there's no chance for any street chumps to win against him without a weapon, especially 1 on 1.

His family have been bare knuckle boxing for generations. He was raised in a world of fighting. Pretty sure he could handle himself in a real fight.

The answer is both Yes and No because of too many variables. I would walk away from this bet. …unless you mean some kind of fight club scenario which he would easily claim.

Yes he would be effective in a street fight because any sane human would take one look at the guy and walk away.


Guy is built like a cement truck and looks hard enough to fucking eat you after he beats your ass.

Double post but traveller fights are posted online, they NEVER give up. It's a matter of pride and respect.

Yet when one concedes it's shake hands and all is good. They're both brutal but gents.

I've been around these people.

So when I posted about them, you wanna reply. Quote me. It's called respect.

Your reply was "no". SMH. Why even post then?
You are taking a fun thread too seriously. Chill.

Bro, trained boxers can see punches coming from trained boxers, they are trained to evade, block, and even take punches, they have several times the gas tank of most people. Even bottom of the barrel amateur boxers can take out several people on the streets at once.
