Chris Eubank’s comments about the former heavyweight world champion being an ‘apprentice’ definitely rubbed Tyson Fury the wrong way.
The former super middleweight champion said Fury only reached ‘apprenticeship position’ and then ‘imploded’.
“He had a fight, he won that fight and then he imploded. He only got to apprenticeship position, as far as I was concerned, and then he stopped learning. Everyone is talking about a fighter who speaks very well in terms of getting people’s attention, but he didn’t learn to fight,” told Eubank.
Fury went on social media and posted a video response to Eubank’s comments on talkSPORT.

Eubank then went on Twitter and explained why he said what he said.
My comment on @talkSPORT is true& @Tyson_Fury has2get back in the ring&win it again& hold on to it&prove he’s not a flash in the pan!
When U win titles, U have2continue to live&train the same way, whenUget there!

That’s what champions do &Ucan do it?— Christopher Eubank (@ChrisEubank) November 29, 2017
Ever since gaining world heavyweight gold in boxing by beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, Fury has felt disrespected and unappreciation for what he did.
Fury has gone through serious mental issues and depression because of the way he was treated publically. He’s even tried suicide reportedly at least four times according to his father John Fury.
In a tweet to Eubank, Fury wrote that it’s comments like Eubank’s that initially caused him to go off the rails and lose control.
It's people like you @ChrisEubank that made me feel how I felt, after achieving what I did! But thanks for your concern.?? stay blessed

Fury then threw a bit of fuel to the fire and explained what would happen if Eubank kept ‘persisting on this matter’.
And if you keep persisting on this matter @ChrisEubank I'll get my mate Steve Collins to punch your head in AGAIN……….

Eubank and Steve Collins famously fought twice in 1995, first as champion, then as a challenger. On both occasions, the Brit failed to officially outpoint the Dubliner on foreign soil in Ireland.
