Fury was in an interview ‘JOE‘. And, he was talking about his desire to fight Tyson. In conversation, he was initially all praise for the legendary heavyweight. Fury said, “Mike Tyson was tricky. He had plenty of movement. Plenty of head movement. He was in and out quick feet. And, he had bombs in each hand and a great fighter.”

Tyson had previously undergone stem cell treatments in preparation for his return to boxing. Talking about the same, Fury stated, “You know it’s a shame to see him, how he is today. You with all you hear about stem cells, blood transfusions to make him younger. Whatever they call them. You know what I’m saying? But he’s a great fella and I do like him.”
