Anthony Joshua SHOCKED WITH A NEW STATEMENT ABOUT A REMATCH WITH Alexander Usyk / Fury - Usyk FIGHT
Anthony Joshua SHOCKED WITH A NEW STATEMENT ABOUT A REMATCH WITH Alexander Usyk / Fury - Usyk FIGHT Co-promoter of the British WBC World Heavyweight champion (over 101.6 kg) Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) Bob Arum (Top Rank Promotions) gave an interview to local media during the undercard of the Stevenson - Valdez boxing night. In the conversation, the functionary touched on the topic of the possible end of Fury's career, spoke about the rematch between the united champion from Ukraine Alexander Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and ex-champion from Britain Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs), and also commented on the future unification bout between the light heavyweight champions (up to 79.4 kg): American Joe Smith- junior (28-3, 22 KOs) and Canadian Arthur Beterbiev (17-0, 17 KOs). — I know that pretty soon you will have a meeting in Las Vegas with the heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. What do you expect from this conversation? — We will have a meeting at the society. We're having dinner, and whatever he comes up with, we'll talk about it. This does not necessarily mean that he will talk about retirement. Tyson Fury needs to be given time. He has to decide what he wants to do. Once again, I won't pressure him with answers and everything else. There is no reason for this. We're just going to have a nice conversation. — When I asked you about his retirement last week, you kind of made it clear that it would be stupid. "That's not the point. When he says he's retiring, that's what he means. He's ending his career. But that means it's now. But if it happens in 2 months, it will be a problem. As soon as the Usyk-Joshua rematch takes place, I think the blood will begin to boil in his body. WBC British heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) held a mandatory defense, knocked out compatriot Dillian White (28-3, 19 KOs), and then announced his retirement. Later, the British big guy made it clear that this decision is final. But his co-promoter Bob Arum (Top Rank) did not believe until recently that Fury was not bluffing. The NYFights correspondent asked not only Arum to comment on the news, but also the coach of the champion Sugar Hill. Hill: "I've already told him my opinion. He has achieved everything in boxing. He doesn't need to call dudes into the ring who don't want to fight him. He doesn't need to run after them. I told Tyson I was proud of him. And I will be even more proud if he decides to give it all up and just enjoy life. I want him to be happy and healthy." Arum: "If a fighter has a contract with a promoter, but he has decided to end his career, then he has the right to do so. Yes, we have a contract for two more fights in America. How realistic is it that he will end his career? He's Tyson Fury. He decides for himself what to do. Anything is possible with him. But no matter what, he will always remain my good friend. The contract was for five fights in the USA. But there is a clause in it that in case of winning the championship title, it is automatically extended for another fight. So there are two more fights left in America." "Top Rank Vice President Carl Moretti has already called Tyson. He said that he would soon come to Vegas with his family for 7-10 days. They have already agreed to meet, have lunch, talk. This is Tyson Fury. He will decide everything himself. I'm not going to pressure him. I'll just wait for his final decision," Arum explained. John Fury, the father of the WBC world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, announced his desire to hold fights with the greatest heavyweight boxers. The 57-year-old Briton challenged Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman to a fight. He invited them to hold exhibition fights. "It's now or never. I will fight with any person in the world for the right amount. I promise, I will be able to repay this with a bright show. And the audience will enjoy it, I will show everything. If you want to hold exhibition fights, don't call John Fury! Because you'll have to beat me to win. I'll punch everyone in the face myself. But I'm waiting. Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, George Foreman, I'm ready to fight anyone," the Daily Star quotes John Fury.
