Tyson Fury trashes Joshua over his selection of Breazeale for title defense

fury49By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyron Fury let IBF heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) have it today for him and his promoter Eddie Hearn selecting an easy mark for Joshua’s first title defense against fringe contender Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) on June 25 at the O2 Arena in London, UK.

Fury sees the 6’7” Breazeale as little more than a bum, and he’s not impressed with the choice. Fury did not go into detail about what specifically he does not like about the 30-year-old American Breazeale, but it’s likely that Fury saw how bad Breazeale looked in his fights against Fred Kassi and Amir Mansour recently.

Tyson Fury needs to lose over 40lbs for Klitschko fight

fury67By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBA heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is reportedly three stones (42lbs) overweight as he prepares for his July 9th rematch against the hard hitting 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury is confident that he’ll be able to burn the blubber off his pear-shaped body by the time the fight takes place in 11 weeks from now, but he might not be able to do it without draining himself. 11 weeks is like Marine Corp boot camp for Fury, and that’s an awful lot of weight to take off.

Tyson Fury bragging about dealing with pressure

fury49By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is bragging about how the pressure isn’t getting to him as he prepares for his rematch against 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury ballooned up in weight after his narrow and ugly to watch 12 round decision victory over Wladimir las November. Fury has been said to be over 40 pounds’ overweight as he started his training camp recently. The 27-year-old Fury has a little over two months to burn the blubber off of his frame so that he can make a good fight of it against Klitschko on 7/9.

It appears that Fury is following the same path as former UK star Ricky Hatton, who used to put on a lot of flab in between fights with his lifestyle. Hatton got away with his healthy lifestyle for a while, but it eventually caught up to him and he found himself no longer effective in the ring.

Fury bellyaching about training camp

fury888By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) officially stared his training camp for his July 9 fight against Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Fury is already complaining long and hard about the pain involved in him having to do a lot of exercises to get ready for the fight.

Fury put on a lot of weight since his last fight against Wladimir last November, and he’s now having to burn off that blubber. In looking at some of Fury’s recent videos, I think he’s around 30 pounds’ overweight, maybe slightly more than that. Fury has only three months to burn the fat off before he’ll be facing Wladimir.

I think Fury will take the weight off, but he’ll probably be weak as heck for having put on and burned off the lard. I was going to predict a victory for Fury, but now with him being all fat and all. He has too much fat to take off and it’s going to turn his training camp into a fat farm rather than one where he’s working on the finer points of the art to get ready for Wladimir’s fighting style.

Fury doesn’t care if he loses to Wladimir

fury72By Scott Gilfoid: After making a bundle of cash in barely beating former heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko by a 12 round decision last November, Britain’s [or is it Ireland’s] Tyson Fury says he doesn’t care what happens with his career.

Fury says he doesn’t care if he loses his next 10 fights because he’s satisfied with his victory over the 40-year-old Klitschko from his win over him last November. Normally, I would think Fury isn’t on the level about him not carrying, but in looking at how fat and flabby he’s become, I think he honestly doesn’t seem to care.

Haye looking forward to facing Joshua in two to three fights

haye1111By Allan Fox: David Haye (27-2, 25 KOs) is quite pleased that IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn is taking about having Joshua face Haye next year after Joshua faces IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury later this year if Fury gets past Wladimir Klitschko on July 9 in their rematch.

Haye sees the Joshua fight only two to three fights away, and he’s very much looking forward to that fight. Haye is locked out of a big money fight against Fury because he doesn’t want any part of fighting him after Haye broken down twice in two separate training camps that wiped out fights between them.

Fury: I’m the only man that can beat Klitschko

fury56675By Allan Fox: After months of negotiations, IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and his team got their way in having former undisputed champion Wladimir Klitschko agree to fight Fury on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. Fury will have hometown advantage against Wladimir, and he plans on using that advantage to defeat him for the second time. The 6’9” Fury already beaten Wladimir last year in winning a close 12 round decision in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Wladimir was unable take advantage of fighting in front of a large pro-Wladimir crowd of mostly German fans in Dusseldorf. Now it’s going to be Fury’s turn to fight in front of a large friendly crowd. Unlike Wladimir, Fury plans on using the crowd to his benefit by fighting hard and taking chances by throwing punches, something Wladimir failed to do last time due to him being too nervous/confused to let his hands go.

Tyson Fury promising to slug with Wladimir Klitschko in rematch

fury67By Jeff Aranow: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and his team finally announced earlier on Wednesday the location and date for the rematch against the 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs). Fury will be facing the Ukrainian Klitschko on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury is quite pleased at getting the rematch in the UK, because the last time they faced each other, the fight took place in Dusseldorf, Germany, which was a home fight for Klitschko. Fury says he plans on fighting much differently in the rematch with Klitschko by choosing to stand and slug with him rather than getting on his bike like he’d done last November.

Fury: Only Wilder and Joshua fights make money

fury098By Jeff Aranow: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) says there are only two big money fights out there for him once he beats 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) in their scheduled rematch on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

As far as money fights go, Fury sees only newly crowned IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) and WBC champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) is big money makers for him. Fury, 27, says he’ll never give David Haye a fight no matter how much money the fight would make.

Hearn wants Joshua vs. Fury in November

BOXINGBy Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn says IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is a priority for his fighter IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua later this year in November if the two of them win their next fights. Fury will be facing Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch on July 9 in Manchester, while Joshua could be fighting in June or July depending on Hearn’s ability to dig him up a suitable opponent for yet another PPV fight on Sky Box Office.

The fighter that Hearn DOESN’T WANT for Joshua right now is the hard hitting David Haye despite the keen interest that Haye is showing in that fight. Haye sees weakness in the slow-moving, bulky Joshua, and he feels he can exploit that weakness if given the chance.
