Fury: I want Deontay Wilder, Jennings or Banks in the United States

wilder5By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) says he’s interested in facing American heavyweights Deontay Wilder, Bryant Jennings or Johnathon Banks soon in the United States. Fury, 24, doesn’t say when he plans on fighting one or all of them, only that he wants to fight one. It’s no secret that the talented knockout artist Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) tried calling Fury only last year but was only ignored. It kind of reminded me how Adrien Broner tried to get a fight with Ricky Burns and had no luck as well.

Wilder had this to say about Fury at Uk.fighthype.com, saying “I would like a fight with him [Fury] as soon as possible, but he’s a coward. He won’t fight anyone he knows he has a high chance of losing against.”

Fury Making a mistake by not taking Price bout

fury453By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) prefers to sit and wait for an eventual title shot this year rather than accepting the big payday fight against David Price (15-0, 13 KO’s) that was offered by Price’s promoter Frank Maloney, who offered Fury 1 million pounds for a fight in the summer. Fury feels he’s worth more than that despite the fact that he’s never faced a 1st tier fighter before.

Fury said on his twitter “Frank Maloney Is at his bull**** again offering 1million pounds! He must think r skint my watch is $268000! Dream on little man & come c us when u can afford me. Remember your talking to Tyson2FastFury!!! Audley Harrison apparently earned 1.5 mill for fighting Haye?! got to be worth more than that?”

Tyson Fury vs. David Price: Indecent Proposal

fury334By Rusty Nate: So the recently revised offer is now £1,000,000 for Tyson Fury to jump in the ring with David Price, according to Frank Maloney who goes on to tell us that the fight can happen in either London or Liverpool in June this year.

This situation throws up so many arguments between fans that believe one fighter is better than the other.

I read an article earlier this week that wrote “Price has already proved he has a suspect chin in the amateurs”. This was of course from everyone’s favorite writer and admirer of everything Deontay Wilder.

Tyson Fury vs. David Price possible for June

price43By Scott Gilfoid: A big fight between unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) and David Price (15-0, 13 KO’s) is being planned for June. Price’s promoter Frank Maloney is reportedly offering the 24-year-old Fury £1 million to take the fight, which is pretty absurd money for a guy that hasn’t yet won a world title.

Maloney said to thesun.co.uk “I have met with people who will finance the show to good numbers. We will stage the bout where the best deal is available at Anfield or London. They are the only places the fight can go.”

Byrd impressed with Fury and Price

price422By Scott Gilfoid: Former two time heavyweight champion Chris Byrd is really impressed with what he’s seen of the two giant British heavyweights David Price and Tyson Fury, and he thinks they could be talented fighters in the future if they keep progressing. Byrd believes Price and Fury would give anyone in the division problems, including the Klitschkos.

Speaking with secondsout.com, Byrd said “Well Vitali is 40 something and Wladimir 36. I look at David Price and he’s got a ton of talent. He can pop, he knows how to keep his distance, and he makes you think before you come in. Both these big guys (Price and Fury) can really fight. They are a tough matchup for anybody in the division.”

Fury adds Bisping to the list of MMA fighters he thinks he can beat

fury3342By Scott Gilfoid: Not satisfied after having called out the UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velazquez and being promptly ignored, unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is now calling out British MMA fighter Michael Bisping to try and get a fight with him.

Fury said on his twitter “I think Michael Bisping is a first class p****. Him and Velazquez at the same time couldn’t beat me! My friend KO’d Bisping, ask him. Bisping, you are a wanker who is s*** at fighting, ask anyone. Remember when you got chinned by blond John?”

Bisping: Tyson Fury would be destroyed by Cain Velasquez

fury3By Scott Gilfoid: Earlier today, unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) was flapping his gums about wanting to fight UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and talking about how he can beat him whether it be in the ring or in the cage. The 6’9” Fury then challenged Velazquez.

We’re still waiting to see what the San Jose, California based Velazquez thinks of the idea of fighting Fury. One person thinks it’s a really bad idea for Fury is fellow Brit Michael Bisping, a UBF fighter with good skills. He thinks Fury wouldn’t’ stand a chance against Velasquez unless it was a boxing match.

Fury: If the Klitschkos won’t fight me, I’ll face UFC champion Cain Velazquez

fury1By Scott Gilfoid: Having no luck in getting either of the Klitschko brothers to agree to fight him, 6’9” unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is turning the attention to MMA and is calling out the UBF heavyweight champion 6’1’ Cain Velazquez for a fight on twitter. Fury wants to fight Velazquez, although it’s highly unlikely that Fury is talking about an MMA fight.

I think he wants to fight Velazquez in a boxing match, which is no big deal. It’s not revelation that MMA fighters, even the best ones, can’t compete with actual boxers in fights. It’s a different sport, so Fury isn’t taking any risks in challenging the 6’1” UFC heavyweight champion Velazquez, because this guy is more of wrestler than a boxer. Wrestling is Velaquez’s background and he doesn’t look good at all when he’s in the standing position throwing punches.

Fury hoping to fight Vitali in March

vitali322By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated #4 WBC Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) and his trainer Peter Fury are hoping they can get a fight with WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko as early as March of this year.

Peter Fury said to the Manchester Evening News “If we can get Vitali for March, then we will. We are happy with that, I’m happy to sign up for it. We are ready if Vitali decides to fight on. I can see Tyson winning and keeping hold of the world title.”

I can’t see Fury getting the fight and I definitely don’t see him holding onto any title he gets a hold of unless he avoids all the serious challengers. How can a fighter like Fury win a world title when he won’t even fight Deontay Wilder and David Price?

Fury: I’m bringing the heavyweight crown back to England

fury78By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) sees himself winning one of the world titles and then bringing the strap back to England in the near future.

Fury said on his twitter “I’m taking the crown bringing it back to England to defend it. The 1st since Lenox Lewis.”

The first since Lennox Lewis? Ah, what about David Haye winning the WBA heavyweight strap. Wasn’t be British and didn’t he bring the World Boxing Association strap back to England after he won a controversial 12 round majority decision over then champion Nikolay Valuev.
