Fury says he would take Povetkin apart
October 31st, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): In an ongoing war of words between “regular” World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (22-0, 15 KO’s) and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (16-0, 11 KO’s) Fury today fired back at Alexander’s assertion that he is ducking Povetkin.
“Before my promoter Mick Hennessy had finalized my fight against Neven Pajkic he received a call from Sauerland Events asking would we be interested in making the Povetkin fight for December, they were told that we were very interested in the fight but they would need to come back with a sensible offer very quickly as we were close to finalizing my next fight.
“But to this day my promoter has not received any kind of offer so we had to proceed with my Commonwealth title defense.
“In my opinion the call was only made in the hope that we would turn down the fight so they could go public with it, if they were serious, a proper and sensible offer would have been made. I think they were shocked when Mick said we were up for the fight.
“I stand by my comments, Povetkin isn’t in my league and I believe his team knows that. I would take him apart. It would be an easier night’s work than I had against Chisora.”
Fury will be defending his Commonwealth title against Canadian heavyweight champion Neven Pajkic (16-0, 5 KO’s) on November 12 at EventCity, Manchester on November 12. In addition to being telecast live on Channel 5 in England, the fight will also be available in Canada to all Super Channel network subscribers.
Controversy of course is a fight promoters dream and the present controversy between Fury and Povetkin , real or contrived will only help to draw attention and sell more tickets in the event a fight between the two ever happens.
It is almost a certainty that Sauerland, and the Povetkin camp will now fire off another salvo of their own at Fury.

Fury is lame and will be slapped, just not in this fight.
helenius suomesta voittaisi furyn.
Fury fights are always entertaining. No doubt the man has talent,size, power,heart and is athletic. Klitschko hasnt faced anyone as dangerous as Fury since Lewis.
brian minto is a stubby legged midget clown stubby face also terrible pug
Nevermind all the garbage their putting in front of Sasha! Howabout Brian freakin Minto. Tough USA fighter. Kick your butt!
The question the world has often asked-
Is there any man alive that can beat Tyson FURY one on one??
Putting Povetkin in the ring with Fury is like putting a baby seal in the cage with a polar bear.
The fight I would like to see is a handicap match between Fury and both the K brothers. Fury is so good, he often uppercuts himself to give his opponents a chance in fights.
even the Lord fears the FURY. Look out britain Fury is mad.
this fury guy is to jolly to be a boxer in my eyes
guy looks like he will do a better job in the circus.
BEARRAT!,,
Fear the FURY because hell is coming with him.
My guess is it is wishfull thinking.
@Anonymous: Never once said he was that good. i think hes a great prospect with a hell of a lot to learn.
also, NEARLY is the key word. he NEARLY got beat. Audley DID get beat.
Fury needs to fight Kevin Kingpin Johnson and then David haye make this happen.
I brought a caravan from fury. It stunk.
povetkin doesn’t want tough fights just a ruskie wimp.
fury keeps talking the talk and nearly lost his 2 last fights so dont think hes that good chaos j
the only good fighter harrison faced was haye and he threw one punch in 3 rounds before getting completely pummeled.
also, fury’s had 16 fights. did Ali, foreman, louis etc etc face anyone good in there first 16 fights?? Infact id argue that fighting Chisora was harder then any of the named above fought within there first 16
he has fought no one good has he lets face it
hardly like harrison is he lol. harrison talked the talk and got knocked out. fury’s talked the talk and won every fight. albeit, got hit hard a few times but still won.
fury is a bum hes like a white harrison all talk and no walk
I think Povetkin is the scared one. not scared of actually fighting fury but of the fact that IF he does beat fury, he wont be able to escape a fight with wlad, and wlads the one whos scares him
you all need your brain sorted out if you think he one of the best in the world fruy being put in the ring whit any big hitter yet. ondout in 3-5 years maybe will be one of the best he only 23 with alot for floors at the mo. its only because his name is tyson if it was mick fury there would not be that much hype about him. why isint he fighting d.price s.sexton r.towers t.dallas mike.preze from cuba but fight with british licence deontay wilder from usa all would do a number on fruy.
FEAR FURY
Povetkin will feel his Fury for opening that big mouth.
he aint that good
povetkin is a chump, he dodged vlad wen he was mandatory challenger and waited for the easy option against chagaev, i can see fury beating povetkin in 6-12mnths time pritty easily
The fight is Fury vs Dimitrenko!.
No man on earth can withstand the Power of FURY. Fury stands alone as the best heavyweight in the world bar none.
