British WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) commented on media reports, according to which he is negotiating a fight with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), being sure that he and in a rematch will cope with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs).
Fury said that this was not true, but at the same time made it clear that the decision to end his career on his part was not final.
“I saw publications by idiots from the Daily Mail that I was supposedly conducting substantive negotiations with the Saudis and the Usyk team,” Tyson said. My team is Frank Warren. And if someone will make any deals with anyone for any fight, then only Frank. I know Frank doesn’t know anything, unless he pulls these big numbers out of his sleeve right now.”
“It’s just that the Daily Mail is talking shit. Nothing yet. Something will be announced, but this does not concern Usyk or Joshua, Fury assured. “I will make my own decisions about all this. If anything, it’s me, not them, who recently had a duel, after which even three months had not passed. And I wouldn’t be back until October, November or December anyway.”
“Ever since I announced my departure, everyone just asks me:“ Have you really left? Have a few more fights.” And so every day, the Briton complains. – I have no obligations to the contenders now, I took care of two in a row, Wilder and White. I can do two voluntary defenses if I want. No one will force me to do anything, and I am in no hurry to make a decision.
How can we ignore another statement by Fury, in which he demands $ 500 million for a fight against Usyk or Joshua.
