By Scott Gilfoid: #4 WBC heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is saying one of the television networks in the United States turned down both Deontay Wilder and Bryant Jennings as an opponent for his April 20th fight in New York. Fury says they only wanted 36-year-old Tomasz Adamek or 36-year-old Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s). Fury and #12 IBF Cunningham will be fighting on April 20th.
Fury said BaylorIC TV “It’s [Cunningham] to show the American people I’m the real deal and just a joke.”
Fury then went on a long rant, constantly changing subjects, blabbing about how he’s not being given a shot against the Klitschko brothers, and how he still won’t get a shot even if he beats Cunningham.
