Tyson Fury is one of the best heavyweight boxers on the planet. He has seen it all, the epic rise as well as the tragic fall. After beating Vladimir Klitschko, Fury went on a hiatus. Trapped in the world of vice, he desperately looked for a way out.

Ultimately he found his way back to the boxing scene, with a few tune-up fights, Fury then challenged the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, Deontay Wilder.

Wilder has knocked out almost everyone he had fought. Fury found himself in a similar position as well but he rose from the dead and continued to finish the bout. Although the match ended in a draw, some people believe that Fury won that match.

Along with boxing, Fury took his talents to other sports. Last year, he had a short role with the WWE in which he took on Braun Strowman in Saudi Arabia. Fury who has been a fierce competitor throughout his life expressed his interest in competing in MMA. The “Gypsy King” even had a few training sessions with UFC Middleweight Darren Till. Fury was seen sprawling, throwing elbows, and even knees during his training.

Darren Till wants Tyson Fury to fight Anthony Joshua

On ESPN’s Ariel Helwani’s MMA show, UFC’s Darren Till revealed that he does not prefer to see Tyson Fury in MMA. He would rather see him win his next fight and fight Anthony Joshua for the title unification bout.

For a boxer to transition to MMA is very difficult. Only a few were able to pull it off but even then, they had a background in other martial arts. Holly Holm is a name that comes to mind. But Holm had an amateur kickboxing experience.

Fury being a pure boxer would be exposed to the various elements in MMA. He has to worry about everything as MMA has minimum restrictions. Even the footwork for MMA and boxing is completely different. The art of grappling and wrestling itself takes years to master. James Tony was a boxer who tried MMA but was submitted quickly by Randy Couture.

Should he lose his mixed martial arts debut, it will only harm his legacy. Fury should stay on the boxing route as he has a lot to achieve there. If he beats Wilder, Joshua Vs Fury will be a huge match.

The interview took a funny turn when Darren Till asked Helwani whether Tyson Fury game him a shoutout.

“What was he saying, did he give me a shoutout?” Till asked.

When Helwani replied with a “no”, Till had one of the most hilarious comebacks.

He said, “Well I hope he gets beat then.”

When Ariel Helwani asked Till whether he will be watching Wilder Vs Fury 2, Till said, “100%. I probably would have went to the fight, I might even last minute.”

Till who has visa issues, then proceeded to allegedly texts the President of the United States regarding his visa issues. He still has hopes to make it for the match.
