Tyson Fury: “Usyk, if you’re a man…”

Briton Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) won the WBC heavyweight belt (over 101.6 kg)
interview for a local news portal.

The journalist asked Tyson about the reasons for the delay in organizing the fight for the title of absolute world champion against the unified champion from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). Tyson stated that in 14 years of his professional career he never fought a fighter who would give him a test. Fury urged Usyk to do it in the “fight of the century.”

– What is the delay with the duel against Usyk?

It’s up to the promoters to decide. I don’t interfere. 2023 is a new year in which I am not standing in the way of these deals because I wanted to do it yesterday and they want to do it in 6 months. It is what it is. Let’s see what happens. Time is running out. We will see. Let’s hope we get the fight of the century pretty soon.

• What Usyk needs to defeat Fury: the opinion of the legend

– Frank Warren said that now the plan is the end of March-beginning of April. In your opinion, is this likely to happen?

– I dont know. I just want the fight of the century to happen. This is the fight of the century. For the first time we will have an absolute champion with four belts. We are both invincible and I am looking forward to the test. Everyone says it will be my toughest fight, toughest challenge, and this is the fight of the century. For all the regalia, if that means anything… But still, I’m looking forward to the fight of the century. I want a test! I traveled the world and for 14 years I was looking for tests, I was looking for a person who is comparable to me. I can not find him! Tendril! If you are a man, come and give me a test!!! Let’s! You are a big laughing stock!

Saudi Arabia or Wembley?

– I’m for the stadium, and I’ll say – Wembley! But if Saudi Arabia appears, show me the money!

What about Francis Ngannou?

If Usyk doesn’t close the deal, you’re next! In a cage, in 4oz gloves, by Queensberry rules, with a tough referee like Mike Tyson!
