Peter Fury dismisses Tyson’s retirement talk

fury11By Scott Gilfoid: For those who were worried sick about British heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) suddenly announcing today that he’s retiring from boxing, you can rest at ease. It seems that Fury was just blowing smoke for some reason, maybe because he lost his 5 million pound ($8 million) payday bout against David Haye. Fury’s trainer Peter Fury says that Tyson will be continuing his career and that he’s currently in negotiations for a fight with the unbeaten Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s).

Peter said “You will not see Tyson in the ring unless it’s a worthy opponent and if boxing is anything like he’s had to endure regarding Haye camp, can keep it. Tyson will fight and win world titles but this time with real fights! That’s what he means. @BronzeBomber, yes, talks ongoing [with Deontay].”

Fury: Deontay Wilder fight is the only one worth making

deontay73872By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) mainly wants to face unbeaten Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) next rather than another heavyweight contender. Fury said on his social media site that he doesn’t see anyone else worth fighting other than the 6’7” Deontay.

I guess that leaves fellow British heavyweight Dereck Chisora out of luck, because Fury apparently doesn’t want to go backwards with his career to fight him after having easily beaten him badly 2 years ago.

Fury said this on his twitter “Team Fury will do anything in air power to make this fight, because its the only fight out there for me worth fighting.

Tyson Fury vs. Dereck Chisora II possible for February 8th

chisora7445By Scott Gilfoid: Dereck Chisora’s promoter Frank Warren mentioned a possible match-up between Chisora and Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) for next February now that David Haye is injured and won’t be able to make his February 8th fight with Fury. Warren sees a Fury-Chisora II fight as a big fight.

Fury mentioned wanting to fight unbeaten American knockout artist Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) next, but I could definitely see Fury and his promoter Mick Hennessy opting to take the arguably much easier fight by backtracking with his career to face a guy he already dominated two years ago in Chisora. It’s a move I could see Fury making.

Tyson Fury wants Deontay Wilder next!

deontay755By Scott Gilfoid: With his his mouth watering fight against David Haye now likely permanently shelved due to Haye’s shoulder surgery, unbeaten Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) is ready to take the ultimate risk in facing the talented one-punch knockout artist Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) in a fight that Fury hopes will serve as a springboard to get him a title shot against one of the Klitschko brothers. In fact, Fury is hoping that one of the sanctioning bodies will agree to a Fury-Wilder fight as a heavyweight title eliminator bout.

Fury said on his twitter today: @BronzeBomber [Deontay Wilder] You’ve had banter with me and my promoter @HennessySports, so get someone to call Mick and lets give the fans a real fight!! @BronzeBomber you and me is the biggest and most exciting fight in world boxing!! You talk the talk @BronzeBomber, now it’s time to walk the walk!! @HennessySports February 8th, @Phones4uArena –

Fury furious with Haye after he reveals shoulder surgery

fury2 (2)By Scott Gilfoid: As you would expect, unbeaten Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) didn’t take the news too good about his February 8th scheduled opponent Davis Haye having career-threatening shoulder surgery in Germany. Haye now won’t be able to face Fury on February 8th, and there are major questions about whether Haye will ever be able to fight again, as he reportedly was told that he should hang up the gloves.

In response to the news, Fury took to twitter and said “I smell p***y is that you David? I smell p***y. Is that you David?…Every little thing is going to be alright.”

Fury smothering Deontay Wilder with compliments

wilder99By Scott Gilfoid: In a sign that heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) could have some interest in facing unbeaten American contender Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) in the near future, Fury was highly complimentary of Deontay’s skills. In fact, Fury was practically lathering Deontay up with compliments to the point where I wasn’t sure if Fury was on the level or not, but in looking at his face, I think he was. Fury looks like he’s become a fan of the 6’7″ Deontay’s talent.

Fury told IFL TV “I think he’s [Deontay] a great heavyweight. I think he’s going to be a killer. I think he’s a machine from America. 30 knockouts in 30 wins, he’s a beast, a great fighter. It would be great for me to fight him.”

David Price wants Tyson Fury after he loses to Haye

price77By Scott Gilfoid: British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price (15-2, 13 KO’s) will be returning to the ring next month fight a still to be determined opponent in the UK. Price, 30, says he wants a rust-removing type of opponent, and then after that he’d be open to facing someone like Australian heavyweight Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (18-0, 16 KO’s). However, the guy that Price really wants to face is fellow Brit Tyson Fury after he loses his fight against David Haye in February. Price is absolutely certain that Fury will lose that fight, and once he loses it he feels that the perfect fight will between them.

Price told IFL TV “Once Tyson Fury loses to David Haye, which is what a lot of people believe is going to happen, it’s going to make it open for a fight between the two of us. It’s a massive fight. I imagine I’ll be fighting before Christmas. Two fights from now, 2 good wins, I’m sure I’ll be on everyone’s lips.”

Deontay to Fury: It’s game over for you once I get the WBC title

deontay5698By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) intends on finishing the Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) hype machine after Deontay picks up the WBC heavyweight title next year. Deontay, 28, says he’ll give Fury a title shot in order to knock him out. In other words, Deontay, 6’7″, won’t make Fury wait the way that Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko have done with him. He’s doing to give the 6’9″ Fury an immediate shot at his title so that he can expose him.

Deontay said on his twitter “Tyson Fury, come my friend, I will make it worth your while. Besides, once I get this WBC belt, it’s game over for you all!”

Deontay willing to fight Tyson Fury in the UK

WilderFirthaPC_HoganphotosBy Scott Gilfoid: American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (29-0, 29 KO’s) sees a fight between himself and Britain’s Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) as being inevitable in the future, and he’s willing to come to the UK to make the fight happen. Deontay expects to capture one of the world title belts in early 2014 against one of the Klitschko brothers. Once Deontay has one of the heavyweight world straps, he expects the fight against the 6’9″ Tyson Fury to take place.

However, a fight between Deontay and Fury would likely have to be an optional title defense for Deontay because Fury will almost surely lose by knockout to former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye next February in their scheduled fight, if it takes place at that time.

Lewis: I’d probably KO Fury in one round

lewis323By Scott Gilfoid: 48-year-old Lennox Lewis was amused to see British heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) calling him out yesterday for a fight. Lewis thinks that Fury hasn’t done enough to be calling him out at this point in his career given the weak opposition that Fury’s been facing thus far. Additionally, Lewis thinks he’d still likely KO Fury in one round if he did decide to fight him.

Lewis said to the Telegraph “Why would you want me right now? I’m an old man and you know what, even if I did put on my gloves right now, I’d probably knock him out inside a round.”
