Fury to Hennessy: Please make the Wladimir fight happen

fury7By Scott Gilfoid: With the news that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko will be fighting on April 6th against a still to be determined opponent in Germany, unbeaten Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is now hoping that his promoter Mick Hennessy can make this fight happen.

Fury said to Hennessy on his twitter today “Please make this happen.”

Gosh, it almost sounds like Fury is begging for the fight.

Fury’s band of followers quickly joined in, dreaming about how Fury would beat Wladimir if given the chance and this and that. It’s all such a dream.

First of all, Wladimir isn’t going to waste time fighting the 6’9” Fury because he’s not a big name in Germany, and there’s no interest in the fight over there. There’s no money in fighting a slapper like Fury.

Fury still hoping to beat Haye to Vitali bout

fury343By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) has shown zero interest in accepting a big money offer from promoter Frank Maloney to fight British/Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price despite the money being more than he’s ever gotten in the past. Fury is betting that he’ll be able to get ahead of David Haye for a fight against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in early 2013.

The chances of that happening are pretty slim. Actually, even Haye probably won’t get the fight either because Vitali may retire to devote more of his time to politics in Ukraine.

With a fight against Vitali not likely to happen, Fury could end up blowing his best chance of a money fight by choosing not to fight Price. What could happen is Fury may actually be forced to fight one of the top contenders in the division to get a shot at Vitali’s WBC strap, if he chooses to give it up.

Cain Velasquez to Tyson Fury: I’m not a boxer; you need to work your way up in UFC

By Scott Gilfoid: UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez finally got around to answering unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury’s challenge of a fight by telling him that if Fury wants to fight him he’ll have to become a UFC fighter and basically work his way up to get a title shot in the sport. In other words, Velasquez isn’t going to fight Fury in a boxing match and he’s not going to let an unskilled boxer fight him in an MMA fight.

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.
