Tyson Fury orders Egis Klimas to apologize to Paris Fury

After Tyson Fury requested a postponement given the cut he suffered in sparring, Egis Klimas called ‘The Gypsy King’ a coward. In his opinion, Tyson Fury most probably asked his wife to hit him with a frying pan so that he did not have to face Oleksandr Usyk. “He asked his b***h to hit him with a frying pan in his brow,” Klimas told The Ring. Therefore, on The MMA Hour, Tyson Fury questioned Klimas’ statements. “Never call me a coward again. I have 35 professional fights,” Fury began.

“I’ve been boxing for 18 years of my life. Never a coward. Never backed down from a man in my life. And if any man calls my wife a b***h, I take his f***ing teeth out,” Fury declared. At this, Klimas denied that he insulted Paris Fury. However, Fury, ordered, “Well, apologize for that.” Along these lines, the 35-year-old added, “How could you call me a coward? You’ve never boxed in your life? How am I a coward? I’m a two-time undefeated Heavyweight champion, the second-longest lineal champion in history.”

At this, Turki Alalshikh interrupted and revealed the new date for Fury vs. Usyk.
