British WBC world heavyweight champion (over 101.6 kg) Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and his promoter Frank Warren gave
interview for the promotional company Queensberry Promotions.
In the conversation, Fury spoke about discussions about his return to the ring, spoke about the imminent start of the UK tour, announced the release of his third book, and also spoke about the taxi incident, which recently appeared on social networks. Frank Warren supplemented the conversation with hints of a possible exhibition fight involving Fury.
— [обращается к Уоррену и Фьюри] You had dinner last week. What can you tell us?
— [Фьюри] Very disturbing news is on the way. I think the world is waiting for our plan of action. We had a long conversation about many things. Frank, can you tell me?
— Yes, we considered several scenarios. And from our conversations, let’s hope we come out with something that Tyson wants to do. An exhibition match is possible. Let’s decide something. If Tyson is happy, then I will be happy too. Where it will be, there it will be. There are always many topics for discussion. The public wants him back in the ring, where he is the king. That’s what they want to see, and that’s what I want. I understand where Tyson is now and what he is talking about. People decided that he would end his career and then come back in a couple of years. I like it when fighters fight at their peak. And for me, Tyson Fury is at its peak. His last performance was something. We had a good conversation and I’m sure we can announce it soon enough.
Fury gave the go-ahead for the fight with Usyk: “Come on, middleweight, knock out Joshua!”
“It sounds like we’ll see you in the ring again in some form sometime in the future. It’s right?
— [Фьюри] 100% like in the movie “Jerry Maguire”. He said, “Frank, show me the money!!! Show me the money, Frank!!!” You know what guys? If anyone can show me the money, I’ll give Frank Warren the nickname “Magician.” Because he brought me back from a completely dead state. It must have magic. So the Wizard will show us the money and we will do something very big.
— [Уоррен] And we did it together. That’s why it worked. That’s the problem. This man is amazing to work with. I have never worked under him in my entire career.
– Tyson, we saw your long runs with Big John (Fury), we saw how you work on bags. Is there any desire to return in any form?
“I train twice every day. In the morning I run and lift weights, and in the evening I box. It’s not for any particular reason. It’s just to keep fit, healthy and psyche. I enjoy my life. This is my way of enjoying my life: training hard, running 4-6 miles every day, boxing sparring in the gym. Now I’ve had a couple of beers and I’m going to kick some taxis again. I’m sure you’ve seen it all. Yes, I enjoy myself. I will have my first UK tour starting on Saturday. This is going to be an absolutely epic tour. So if you haven’t bought tickets, buy and enjoy the show. Let’s hope we have something. We’ll discuss this with Frank later. I hope you see me in the ring again soon. In addition, my third book will be released in November. Look, I wrote my third bestseller that I can’t even pronounce. [смеются].
Tyson, you mentioned the taxi incident. I think when the video came out, people thought: “Who hasn’t done this?” As you said, this is any Briton abroad.
Every British idiot abroad after a couple of beers. This is what we do. Who here has never been to a holiday, was not offended and did not behave like a real dunce? Everyone I know is like that. Only programmable robots are told what to do and say. I’m real. I get up in the morning, have breakfast and put on my shoes. There are no scripted scenes here.
