Tyson Fury calls True Geordie a ‘little tosspot’ as he ends interview in sweary rant

We couldn't tell if he was joking at first. Well, we're still not entirely sure, to be honest.

Danny Jones Danny Jones - 31st October 2022

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.

You can see the heated discussion in full down below. We especially enjoyed the part where Tyson continues to swear like a trooper as he tries to figure out how to end the call:

Limited 10k places left as Great Manchester Run half marathon sells out once again

Danny Jones Danny Jones are there great manchester run 10k places left?

The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run half marathon has officially sold out yet again for 2025, with just a small number of 10k places left.

With thousands of Mancs and visitors to the region having earned themselves glory at this year’s Manchester Marathon, attention has already turned to the next big event: the Great MCR Run.

Returning for its 22nd year, AJ Bell is bringing the Great Manchester Run back to the city and while tickets for the longest distance may have been snapped up as per, anyone debating taking on the 10k still has time to get their bib through the post.

Go on, you know what want the finish line feeling – not to mention a shiny new medal to score some well-deserved free pints on the day.

Yes, while spaces on the Great Manchester Run have already sold out in no time, there are are now less than 500 still left to grab for the 10k.

The question is, will you be one of them?

Final entries are available for £45 but there are also a select few charity places for anyone who backs themself to raise enough money before race day.

Taking place on Sunday, 18 May, with the first runners getting underway from approximately 8:10am, you’ve not got long to decide whether you want to be part of the action.

Having done it multiple times ourselves and with a local gold-medal-winning Olympian getting things underway this year, we can’t recommend it enough.

It’s worth also worth noting that if you missed out on the half marathon this year but fancy giving the next one a go, you can set a reminder for 2026 entries now.

One final thing: last minute Great Manchester Run entrants for the 10k must be aged 15 and over; a booking fee of £2.50 per entry will also applied at checkout.

Beyond that, provided you’ve got the training under your belt/you already a solid fitness base, the only thing that’s left to do is get ready for the starting gun. You can even take part in the official shake-out run, if you fancy it.

See you for the post-race pints and hopefully some PB showboating!

A massive Manchester United fan zone is being set up for the Europa League final – if they make it…

Danny Jones Danny Jones Manchester United fan zone Europa League final

With the second leg of the Europa League semis looming, in which Manchester United could make it through to the final, a massive fan zone is being tentatively set up.

In truth, they should make it to the conclusion of the UEFA competition – a decider that could see them qualify for the Champions League – given that they took a 3-0 lead back to Old Trafford following the impressive away fixture, but if Man United have proved anything of late, its that they’re unpredictable.

Touch wood, if they make it to the final, supporter park specialists 4 The Fans – the same team behind the huge sites at the likes of Manchester’s Secret City, Love Factory and the Progress Centre for Euro 2024 – are putting one of the biggest fan zones yet.

As always with football, nothing is quite guaranteed, and despite a health advantage that should see them over the line, we’ve seen this side do the unlikeliest of things with leads in recent times. Case and point, that frankly ridiculous Lyon comeback.

Provided the Red Devils get the job done on their end, 4 The Fans are committed to putting on a huge fan zone over in Stretford, and with well over 50,000 fans attending their events over the last three years, it’s sure to be a mega atmosphere.

4 The Fans are giving us real Euro vibes with their upcoming plans.

Set to take over the Bowlers Exhibition Centre, a.k.a. the BEC Arena over in Stretford, the enormous events space will be transformed into one of their biggest fan zones to date, with the biggest screen in Manchester. 

VIP seated tickets are also available, and parents are welcome to bring their kids along to the family-friendly event.

Once again, this all hinges on whether or not Man United make it past Athletic Club and book a return trip for the Europa League final, which also happens to be taking place in Bilbao.

However, one of the best bits about all of this is that, in addition to the strong chance of going through, tickets are already available, and supporters are guaranteed their money back if Ruben Amorim’s side manages to capitulate.

No harm, no foul.

If the idea of being surrounded by fellow Reds for the game isn’t an attractive enough prospect on its own for you, United fans, the event is also set to be hosted by a club legend (still yet to be announced), with DJs and music, as well as special effects throughout.

Of course, there’ll be plenty of pints and scran to fuel the promoter’s famous fan energy on offer too, so you really will be sorted from start to finish.

Doors to the BEC open at 5:30pm, with last entry at 7:30pm ahead of the 8pm kick-off; tickets start from just £8. Until then, you can watch back the highlights from the previous match down below. You can grab yours HERE.

How are you feeling for the game – do you think they’re going all the way?

Surely they can’t blow it from here, can they?…
