Tyson Fury did another Tyson Fury in his recent interview with True Geordie, bringing the video call to an end by calling him a “little tosspot” among a variety of other expletives.
The Gypsy King took the time to speak to the popular YouTuber and online commentator – also known for his large stature and love of combat sports – ahead of his upcoming fight against British boxer Derek Chisora.
However, the conversation didn’t exactly go to plan, as the equally opinionated Geordie (real name Brian Davis) fired some fairly hard-hitting questions his way and the Manchester fighter soon lost his composure.
As many on social media have noted, the reaction felt more than excessive, especially given how many have praised the Newcastle content creator for his line of questioning and resilience, saying that Tyson simply didn’t like being challenged and tried to bully his interviewer into compliments over critique.
Fury closes out the interview with a succession of swear words fitting of his surname: “I think you’re a tosser, you little tosspot and I won’t be doing any more interviews with you little toss, bearded, bald-headed tosser. Kiss my balls, you little w***. You little s***house. Suck a d***”.

Oh, and don’t worry, plenty of people have all stated the obvious:
Davis went on to question the world heavyweight champion on issues such as charging fans such high pay-per-view fees to watch him fight a boxer he has already faced and beaten twice before.

The Wythenshawe native’s response was to bring up the Deontay Wilder fights, to which his opposite number suggested that as popular as that trilogy was, his second fight against Chisora ended in “boos” because it was getting “boring”.
MMA and boxing journalist Chisanga Malata wrote: “True Geordie isn’t my cup of tea, but his line of questioning was completely fair. Tyson Fury couldn’t handle it and proceeded to insult him over his appearance”, also noting the 34-year-old’s upcoming charity single for mental health.
At one point, the two just continue to talk over each other as they disagree over the upcoming fight, the subject of sporting legacy and the advent of YouTube boxers. We don’t imagine Geordie will be getting an invite to the fight come 3 December – though ticket sales are said to be struggling.

Details released of Andy Burnham’s meetings with Manchester City owners while Mayor

Details of Andy Burnham’s meetings with Manchester City owners during his tenure as Mayor of Greater Manchester have been released.
In case you need bringing up to speed on the situation a little first, Manchester City was found guilty back in September all of its charges related to the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and on top of that, was also found guilty of the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.
According to the Premier League, the independent Commission found that Manchester City had arranged so-called ‘sham’ commercial deals with a number of its sponsors.
These were part of a disguised funding scheme – with those sponsors only required to pay a portion of the relevant sponsorship fees.
The remainder was then funded by Abu Dhabi United Group Investment & Development Ltd (ADUG), which owned the club.
The Commission also concluded, as quoted by the Premier League, that the club had ‘made concerted efforts to stop and frustrate the Premier League investigation’.
Within the past week or so, it has since come to light that now-Prime Minister Andy Burnham had dealings with Manchester City during his tenure as Greater Manchester Mayor, and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has now issued a public statement, giving details on the matter and what these ‘dealings’ entailed.
A spokesperson for GMCA confirmed that Burnham had a ‘formal meeting’ with Man City Chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, back in October 2021.
The statement reads in full: “In October 2021, Andy Burnham, in his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester, had a formal meeting with Khaldoon Al Mubarak at the UK Government’s Global Investment Summit arranged by the Department for International Trade.
“In his capacity as Mayor, he was a guest of Manchester City FC at home matches on a small number of occasions, including attending Vincent Kompany’s testimonial match in September 2019, where he met the Chairman informally in the stands. These have been declared in the usual way.
“Also during his time as Mayor, representatives of Greater Manchester sporting clubs would routinely join business delegations as part of Mayoral international visits.
“This included representatives from Manchester United travelling to Austin and Dublin, Lancashire Cricket Club joining a delegation to India, and Manchester City FC staff supporting visits to China and Japan.”

Multiple arrests made for ‘tragedy chanting’ and police officer assault as Man City defeated Liverpool
Emily Sergeant
Multiple people were arrested over the weekend as Manchester City defeated Liverpool in a Premier League clash.
Merseyside Police have confirmed that a total of 10 people were arrested during the policing operation at Liverpool’s home ground of Anfield as they hosted Manchester City on Sunday 11 October.
One man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police constable, five were on suspicion of tragedy chanting, one on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly, two for affray, and one on suspicion of throwing items onto the pitch.
Police are now appealing to the public, and are particularly looking to speak to witnesses of the assault of the officer.
At around 6:35pm, as fans left the stadium, a police officer sustained a ‘serious facial injury’ during the arrest of a man on Anfield Road, and was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment but is now recovering at home.
Investigating officers are now conducting enquiries, speaking to witnesses, and analysing CCTV and camera phone footage.
Chief Inspector Leanne Hobin said it’s ‘extremely disappointing’ that an officer has sustained a serious injury while carrying out their duty.
“I hope the arrests send a clear message and act as a deterrent to others,” Chief Inspector Hobin continued. “Anyone who engages in this abhorrent behaviour risks ending up in custody and getting a criminal record.
“Despite the actions of a few, the overwhelming majority of the 60,000 fans in attendance behaved well and I want to thank them for their co-operation.”
Manchester City ended up defeated Liverpool 3-0 during the Premier League clash at Anfield.
