Sitting in the barber’s chair, heavyweight athlete Tyson Fury joined in video interview Released Tuesday on Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotion Location. Frank Warren, one of Fury’s supporters, joined the conversation. Fury’s future plans are in place – as is Anthony Joshua, who will attempt to wrest back his own heavyweight titles from Oleksandr Usyk in a bout that is likely to go downhill this summer.
The man dubbed the King of Gypsy doesn’t think celebrity trainer Robert Garcia, with whom Joshua has partnered, will do well on his British counterpart Joshua. “Unless Anthony Joshua can withstand Morcum and let me train him for this fight,” Fury said, “Robert Garcia and ten like him are not going to make him defeat Usyk because, one of them, they don’t know him. me, the two of them don’t ‘don’t know what he has in his engine and, three, he’s not a little Mexican who can go up against someone for fifteen rounds. “
Fury continues to predict bad things for Joshua, should the man decide to get aggressive with Usyk in their rematch. “If he attacks Usyk from round one and tries to push and get aggressive,” Joshua’s Fury said, “he’s going to be out of breath in four rounds, start hanging after five, six and be stopped after seven… but he went to Morcum Bay and I taught him how to be a real fighting man for twelve rounds and how to deal with these little middleweights and he would win, but different with me seeing him defeated again, two in a row. , and then finish. “
Usyk simply overcame Joshua in their first bout last fall. Fury was asked if he thought the Ukrainian could actually knock Joshua down this time around. “It all went according to Robert Garcia’s game plan,” Fury replied, “how much he wanted him to have a low chin. Because what that is… to have a style that keeps going and putting pressure on someone when you’re a big man, like him (Joshua) and like me, you need to have two V12s and you need to be able to do punches, and you need balls like the King Kong. He doesn’t have the best engine in the world, doesn’t have the toughness, and doesn’t have the ballparks of King Kong.” In other words, Fury doesn’t give Joshua a chance in a rematch – unless Joshua decides to team up with Fury.
Having announced his retirement after defeating Dillian White earlier in the spring, Fury was asked about his own plans. “Me and Frank had something coming up,” he said, “something really exciting. But it has nothing to do with Usyk or Joshua at the moment.” Fury even pointed out, knowingly or not, that he’s not sure he wants to retire either. “I will make the decision in all of this,” he said.
