In an interview with iFL TV, Fury spoke about the whole Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight. Subsequently, he spoke about who he would fight next. When the interviewer asked ‘The Gypsy King’ if he would want to fight Joe Joyce in February, Fury replied, “I’m not really interested in fighting Joe Joyce. I’m probably looking at someone like Savannah Marshall to fight in a cross-gender heavyweight championship match-up. That’s more interesting to me.”
Fury continued to talk about the only two fights that interest him.
“I’m only interested in two fights – Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, apart from that I’m not interested.”

It did not seem like Fury was joking around about the Savannah Marshall matchup. ‘The Gypsy King’ reiterated that he was serious about the fight.
If Fury were to fight Marshall, he would wear 16-ounce gloves. However, the WBO middleweight champion, Marshall, would wear 8-ounce gloves according to Fury.

Tyson Fury calls Jake Paul a w***er during the press conference
Tyson Fury and John Fury sat alongside Tommy Fury during his press conference. Tommy Fury and Jake Paul will take each other on in Tampa Bay, Florida on December 18. Ahead of their fight, the pair had a press conference with ‘The Problem Child’ attending the event virtually. During the press conference, John and Tyson Fury mercilessly berated the YouTuber turned boxer.
They took full advantage of the fact that Jake’s presence was only virtual, denying him a chance to even talk properly. Tyson Fury spoke about being the best trash talker in boxing. Jake intervened and said that Fury spoke about him well a few months back. ‘The Problem Child’ then asked the Lancashire native to make up his mind.
Fury replied, saying, “That was few months ago and now I think you’re a w***er.”
Who do you think Tyson Fury should fight next?
