WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury feels confident in his ability to beat all of the top names in the weight class.
He expects to walk away from the sport with his undefeated record intact.
Fury has been out of action since February 2020, when he picked up a seven round stoppage of Deontay Wilder to capture the WBC belt.
He will return to the ring on October 9th, when he faces Wilder in a trilogy fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Fury is hoping to topple Wilder – and then move forward to a full division unification with IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world champion Anthony Joshua.
Joshua will first have to overcome his own upcoming fight, a mandatory defense against Oleksandr Usyk on September 25 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
One thing Fury won’t do, is overlook the fight with Wilder.
He wants to avoid a scenario that was suffered by Joshua in 2019 – when he was was stopped by Andy Ruiz in a huge seven round upset. Joshua dominated the rematch six months later with a lopsided decision win.
“I’ve never lost a fight. I don’t think I’ll ever lose a fight, no. I don’t think I will. I don’t think there’s nobody out there to beat me,” Fury told Gary Neville’s The Overlap.
“The big thing is – I’ll tell you what they always do – and he already fell victim to it, Joshua. They talk about fights that’s not happening. Everybody wants to talk to me about the Joshua fight. They don’t care about the fight that I’m having. All of a sudden, they want me to look over what I’m doing and then get chinned. I’m laid on my back flat by Wilder and he’s taking my position.
“I’ve only got, two, three fights left, because there’s no more challenges. They’ve all been beaten. I’ve got Wilder next and provided I get through that, then I’ve got AJ.”
