I've grown to love tyson after being ambivalent. He obviously had a machismo upbringing in the traveller community but he's breaking alot of taboos and seems a genuinely nice guy. He got a lot of stick for saying traveller children should go to school as long as they can and get a good education.

But particularly I thought his bravery in talking about his mental health and suicide must have helped thousands. The best heavyweight in the world talking saying its OK to struggle was unheard of. Dylan whyte disappointed me big time when he said tyson was week and a cry baby for opening up.

I prefer stylish boxers also and to see a giant dance is always worth watching, compared to so many hug and punch heavyweights. The wilder trilogy will go down in history, it really breathed life into the sport that was struggling.

Dylan is a good fighter though and it takes one punch in the heavyweight division
If we’re going to excuse Tyson for some of his misdemeanours due to his upbringing then surely Dillian deserves the same leeway. Basically no education and brought up surrounded by Jamaican gang culture. Stabbed and shot several times as a kid, fathered his first child at 13 etc. both flawed characters with some dubious opinions on certain subject matters but I think they’re both good people at heart.
