The Truth Speaks Out: “I Don’t Like That a Lot” – Errol Spence Jr. Slams Americans Who Support Tyson Fury

Errol Spence Jr. is all about supporting his own and not fighters from other nations. Especially, when the adversary is a fighter from the fan’s own nation. To a great extent, he is not satisfied with how a large portion of the US populace is getting behind Tyson Fury over Deontay Wilder.

Tyson Fury has signed a deal with the Bob Arum’s US promotional company Top Rank. For that reason, his last four bouts have all been in the United States of America. The most recent of the four fights came in February near the beginning of this year. “The Gypsy King’s”overwhelming support for the Brit was easily noticeable in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

That’s what I don’t like either. I don’t like how the American guys are rooting for Tyson Fury and he’s from the UK when all the UK guys are going for their guy.”

Fury has been the fighter more have gravitated to due Spence’s comment stated above. Apart from this, Fury’s performance in the two fights against Wilder have both fighters’ popularity soaring more then ever before. Spence Jr.’s astute assessment below of Wilder vs Fury showcases a systemic issue that US fight fans have showcased over the years that goes way beyond boxing.
