    I'd be embarrassed to admit I was wearing glasses that actually just had glass, not real lenses. I don't get wearing glasses if you don't need them. Maybe I'm old fashioned. Be proud of your 20/20 vision.

    I wear contacts. Sometimes glasses if I want to go for the IT professional look. I'm gonna need hearing aids before the age of 50.

    Lucky I have all my hair and it's not grey.

    @mn5 Im not grey yet(which is odd for an islander) and have all my hair but Im blind as a bat. I actually have to have me eyes tested next month to make sure Im not legally blind and still fit to drive.

    We're all getting old.

    I remember one of my mates from school who was Tongan had a shit load of greys at 17 years old! It was the price he had to pay for being far more athletic and strong than us white boys were at the time.

    That will piss AJ off even more

    ANTHONY JOSHUA sent a warning to Tyson Fury as the Gypsy King gets set to milk the opportunity to do the ring walk with Joseph Parker. Joshua, 28, will square up against Parker in the heavyweight u…

    This is so much bigger than I thought it would be. The drama is slowly unfolding but Im not sure Parker is part of the main cast. Tyson is fully using Parker. I hope he knows that.

    From day one Fury has positioned himself next to Parker, even after Parker UD'd his cousin Hughie. I feel like Fury saw Parker as a potential ally but also as a naive potential threat he could cozy up to. When I saw Tyson offered his services as sparring partner for this fight I wondered how the fuck would that be of any use to anyone but Fury. I never really rated Fury but he's smart as shit and add that to outstanding ring awareness, fight IQ, the longest reach in boxing and an ungainly style that is difficult to train for you can't really discount him.

    @raznomore Yes 100% agree although to be fair they did turn down his sparring (thankfully). The only reason why Fury is all nice to Parker is because he sees him as no threat.

    @african-monkey Yip. Tyson will think all his xmases have come at once if Parker end up with all the belts. It take 1 more rematch fight if Parker gets this W this weekend but Tyson will like a pig in shit knowing he won't have to fight Joshua. In saying that Fury vs Joshua is the UKs wet dream. That's £50m each for those guys.

    I never used to take fury seriously

    But ive watched that klitchko fight a few times now , he is smarter in the ring than i initially thought ,

    I actually think ( im hoping for Joe dont get me wrong ) IF he can get back to full fitness , he might be the guy who can take AJ into deep water , tiring him out while accumulating the points ,

    he is so hard to hit , 6 foot 9 , with those long arms , and his feet never stop moving , a constant moving target
