Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora: “If you want to watch it, watch it. If you don’t want to, F–k Off”
By: Sean Crose
“Let’s go! Hunt to work!” WBC and world linear heavyweight champion Tyson Fury gave a shout out after Thursday’s press conference to promote his belt fight on Saturday against longtime rival Derek Chisora. “Can’t wait until Saturday night.” This will be Fury’s first fight since he knocked out Dillian Whyte with a thunderous butt last spring. Although some had hoped Fury would fight former British player and fellow England player Anthony Joshua on Saturday, negotiations for that bout fell through, giving Chisora the chance to beat Fury later. having lost to this man twice before.
And, tell iFLTV, Fury was quick to defend Chisora as a worthy opponent. “That man is one of the top ten boxers in the world,” he said of Chisora, “and he is an available opponent. I don’t know about grace. He is helping me if there is anything. Indeed, Fury has made it clear that he feels he is a difficult person to criticize. “What are they going to talk trash to me with?” he asked eloquently. “No one can look down on me, right? I have come back from 28 stones to make the ring his home, I have fought and fought and fought, come back from everything, against all difficulties. What will they say?”
Fury continued to speak harshly about WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight boxer Oleksandr Usyk when asked what he would do if the undefeated Ukrainian boxer attended on Saturday in London. “I couldn’t care less about that little brat,” he said. “I will punch him in the face on Saturday night if he punches me in the face. We’ll see if he plays the game.” With the fight against Chisora just two days away, Fury is clearly in a fight-ready mood. “We’ll see their game, these little foreigners, when they take on the Gypsy King,” he said.
When asked what his priorities were, Fury was quick to respond. “Priority will get drunk at Christmas and have a good time,” he said. “Put one or five stones and then we will reassess the situation. I may need surgery.” In a short interview filled with unflattering sarcasm, Fury ended the conversation with a silly look. “Saturday night we’ll throw it down,” he said. “If you want to tune in, watch it. If not, get out.” For those in the US, Fury-Chisora is scheduled to air Saturday live on ESPN+ starting at 1pm ET.
