“There’s no man born that can beat me,” WBC and world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury told. iFL TV. “I’m out there alone.” As always, Fury has a lot to say in the short video interview. However, he saved his venom for – you guessed it – Anthony Joshua and the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight championship belt Oleksandr Usyk. “Why doesn’t this guy step on the plate?” The 33-0-1 undefeated Fury was asked about former multi-title fighter Joshua. “What does he want to fight Dillian Whyte for? He beat Dillian Whyte. Fight me.” In fact, Fury seemed to feel that he and Joshua would never really meet in the ring.
“I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Fury said of a highly-anticipated bout with his English compatriot, with whom he negotiated last fall for a proposed match in end of the year. “If that were to happen it would have happened this past December,” Fury said, “when Chisora took control and stepped on the plate.” When asked to reiterate his thoughts on the fight against Joshua, Fury was very clear. “I can assure you,” he said, “you won’t see it, one hundred percent.”
Instead of focusing on Joshua, Fury now has his eyes on Usyk. “I will go up against the man who just beat him (Joshua) twice,” he said. “I will knock out the guy who hit him twice. So what are they doing about me?” Fury continued to mock Joshua. “I was looking for a way to fight Usyk,” he said, “Joshua’s enemy, who took AJ’s kryptonite, who drove him crazy and cried like a little girl after the battle.”
Fury then had some interesting things to say about Usyk. “I will beat him,” he said. “I’ll take out that little sausage. He’s not kryptonite to me. He fucks me hard, little bastard, and I’ll make him dance. We’ll see how good he is.” Fury claims that the biggest fight in boxing will be between him and Usyk, not him and Joshua. “There’s nowhere near (the biggest boxing match),” he said of a fight with Joshua. “He (Joshua) didn’t bring anything to the table.” With that in mind, things change quickly when it comes to Fury. Time, as always, will tell the story.
