According to the Tyson the ‘Gypsy King’ Fury both heavy weight champions (Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua) are no match for him.
“I will beat them both twice,” he declared, Just to show them how s*** they really are. I will beat them senseless.” The former world heavy weight champion stated.
Fury went further to describe himself as the greatest heavyweight boxer ever lived.
“People may listen to this and say this man’s a lunatic, he’s been out for a year.
But I’m the greatest boxer that’s ever lived in the heavyweight division.” Fury Confidently articulated.
For many, these are just mind games and perhaps ‘trash talking’ himself with the aim of increasing his stock.
The British boxer had this to say to his sceptics.
“I’m an entertainer, I’ve been told to take this fight serious and stop all the razzmatazz, but you know what? I can’t. I’m a natural showman.” Responding to a dig by promoter Frank Warren.
He went further to affirm his excesses as part of his brand “If I wanna put my hands down in the fight and play to the crowd and have a look and chat to a good looking woman at ringside, I will. It’s the Tyson Fury show and I do what I want. Fury Said.
Finally the self styled ‘Gypsy King’ had this to say to his worried observers about his style and utterances
“Nobody can tell me to take bums seriously. How can I take a bum seriously? The best boxer in the world today, how am I going to take some bum serious?” Fury rhetorically quizzed.
The undefeated former world heavyweight champion who is 6ft 9ins tall has the penchant of causing controversies with his utterances both now and in the past.
But make no mistake, Fury is still a force to be reckoned with.
