"I think somebody up there likes me. I tried to sign Tyson Fury and failed. Lucky me. "Like a child, he has no filter, no off button. Kids have parents bringing them into line. No-one says no to Fury. "This is brazen attention-seeking, self-evidently offensive, insulting, abusive and wrong. "If one of my fighters behaved like Fury he would be out the door. Fury just doesn’t get it. He is not only damaging his own reputation but boxing’s too."The piece was bound to provoke a reaction, and Fury took to Twitter to lambaste the Irish hero in fairly strong terms. https://twitter.com/Tyson_Fury/status/731239909902684160 We're not going to get into a row with Fury, but we think he is way off his game if he thinks the way to win Irish friends is to insult one of this country's most famous sons. The reaction to the attack was not good. https://twitter.com/EamonMcGee/status/731424836279521280 https://twitter.com/JWDrennan/status/731405467566514176 https://twitter.com/PrinceBuster69/status/731398532427591681 https://twitter.com/irishelt/status/731405520339402752
