In the fast-paced world of boxing, rumors and speculations often swirl around potential matchups, creating buzz and excitement among fans. Recently, a snippet from an interview with the Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, sent shockwaves through the boxing community. With his characteristic candor, Fury dismissed the notion of hosting the much-anticipated Joshua-Wilder bout on his card with a nonchalant wave of his hand.

The Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury bout will see a crossover between the two titans, in a much-anticipated bout set in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Just 24 hours to go, and the spectators along with us, can hardly hold on to our seats.

Tyson Fury wants to have his shine

Fury, never one to mince his words, made it abundantly clear that he had no interest in sharing the spotlight with fighters he deemed irrelevant in the current boxing landscape. When questioned about the possibility, Fury’s response was as swift as one of his powerful jabs. “I don’t really make much of it, to be honest,” he said, his tone reflecting his dismissive attitude. “They should do it somewhere else. It’s the Battle of The Biggest Loser anyway, so yeah, whatever.”

Fury firmly establishes his position, asserting that unless  Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder reclaim their lost glory and secure world titles.

Throughout his career, Fury has unapologetically maintained this attitude, openly expressing his thoughts both within and beyond the ring. His confidence doesn’t solely stem from his boxing abilities; it’s deeply rooted in his steadfast self-belief. While he recognizes their accomplishments, he confidently emphasizes that acknowledging others alongside him is only justified if they boast world titles. Thus underscoring the importance of championship accolades without outright disregarding their endeavors. “They’re not relevant they’re both losers and until they win World titles back they can never ever be mentioned in the same light as Tyson Fury.“

We are still left to see who is a good enough contender in Fury’s books. Recently, he has even gone off on the Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, calling him a “little sausage”, ahead of their bout on December 23rd.

Who is a worthy opponent: Ngannou or Usyk?

Fury, despite the widespread anticipation surrounding the Usyk fight, expressed his lack of excitement. He contends that he faced a much more formidable adversary shortly. He stated, “A lot of people are talking about this undisputed fight, which is fantastic. But he genuinely believes he has a much more dangerous opponent to contend with next,” conveying his sentiments to ESPN.

Fury elucidated his statement, pointing to Ngannou’s imposing stature, immense physical power, and remarkable knockout prowess as the basis for his claim. He emphasized that Ngannou was stronger, and larger with unparalleled knockout abilities. Fury further diminished Usyk’s threat level by noting his perceived lack of impactful strikes. He claimed that Usyk doesn’t do much damage to his opponents when he lands punches.

As fans eagerly await Fury’s next move, his latest declaration has added a new layer of intrigue to the boxing landscape. Will Joshua and Wilder rise to the challenge and prove Fury wrong? Or will they continue their pursuit, aiming to regain their former glory and silence the outspoken champion?
