The WBC world heavyweight champion (over 101.6 kg) British Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) gave
interview for Ariel Helwani after the end of the WWE wrestling show.
In a conversation, Fury commented on his status, spoke about a possible fight for the title of absolute world champion against the unified champion from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), and also spoke about the recent performance of his fellow countryman, former champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), who lost to Usyk in a rematch two weeks ago.
– It seems to me that you completed and resumed your career four times in the past month. Are you officially retired right now or not?
“I officially saw a video from a middleweight who just beat a bodybuilder and said he wanted to fight me. He called me after the fight. I responded immediately, and responded again recently. Said, “Yes.” And now he doesn’t want to fight. He opened his mouth and now he’s running scared like the little bitch he is. He says he wants to fight next year, that he has some injuries from sparring. I can’t help it.
What do you think about Anthony Joshua’s performance against Usyk?
– There was a faded limited performance.
What do you think about his comments after the fight?
“I’m not the one to talk about it. That shit you said is their business, it’s none of my business.
Does any part of you sympathize with him? It seems that he was very emotional at that moment.
– Look, everyone should do what they have to do in their lives, and it’s none of my business who is there and what they do after the fight. My job is boxing, not what he says. I’ve said a lot of shit myself in the past. I don’t want to judge it. My job is boxing. I judge these guys by their performance, not by what they do after boxing. I’m not interested in this shit.
Is this fight dead forever or is there a chance that you and Joshua will finally meet despite the loss?
“Even if he lost three of his last five fights, I still think people want to see this fight. If Usyk can’t prepare, or doesn’t want to fight for whatever reason… a middleweight vs a giant heavyweight behemoth – I can see why he doesn’t want to. If that fight doesn’t happen, then we’ll offer Joshua a fight.
What would you like to say to Usyk?
“I don’t want to say anything. Find your balls and come see me you asshole!
