The two fun men of Cobb & Fury Boxing!

In the past, he had met the former answering machine of the heavy weight title Randall ‘Tex’ Cobb, who was such a fun character with a limited boxing capacity. I remember Cobb was in a clinc with an opponent and saying “we make a couple of beers together after that.”

It was on November 6, 1981 in The Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, bread with WBC heavy weight champion Larry Holmes, defending his title against Renaldo Snipes.

It was a card that Michael Dookes included defeating George Chuvalo; Jimmy Young defeating Tommy Thomas; James ‘Buster’ Douglas losing before David Bey and Cobb defeating Bernardo Mercardo.

Cobb enters the press conference and says something like “Look at this, some of the worst in the world, and its usual laughter!”

Snipes replies, “After finishing with Holmes, you are next!” Cobb says “First, you are not beating Holmes, but we can do it right here!” Snipes sat down without saying another word.

We all know Tyson Fury’s actions during his career without saying. The difference is that he became a world champion.
