“Like the great Clubber Lang says, he comes forward, he’s tailor-made for me. He’s not impressive he only has the big last name. That’s all he has, and he only has five inches on me… What he does is nothing special. I’ve seen his opponents that he’s fought. I’ll beat every single opponent of his. I’ll knock him out in the first round. Tommy is not special.”
Meanwhile, ‘TNT’ Tommy Fury said he’s training for the bout as if he is preparing to fight Muhammad Ali himself. Hence, it’s clear that the younger Fury brother will not take his opponent lightly.
