Tyson Fury “I’m not training anymore”
WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury (30-0-1, 21ko) is on a collision course with unified champion Anthony “AJ” Joshua (24-1, 22ko) to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion. Furthermore, the winner will be the first-ever undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
The boxing world is so eager for the fight to happen that after any news drops, social media, the press, and YouTube go into a frenzy.
Top Rank Head honcho Bob Arum has recently reported that everything has been agreed. He even punctuated the statement by adding this:
“I can say clearly that based on my view of everything, that there are no more issues.”
However, as good as all that sounds, we still have not received an official date or venue. Neither Top Rank nor Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn have issued an official announcement on the fight being officially done. We have, however, received a bunch of bits and pieces to keeping everyone on edge.
A CLUELESS FURY
AJ is pumped about the fight, and he has stated the event could take place in June. Fury, on the other hand, is getting a little antsy. He has stated he wants to have two fights in 2021, regardless of the opponent.
That statement has left some to speculate that perhaps a fight with former champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder could be in the mix. Equally important, fans feel the Alabama knockout artist’s upcoming third-party arbitration ruling could be what is holding things up.
During the intermission of an MTK Global card in the UK on ESPN+, the charismatic Gypsy King dropped a bombshell about the upcoming undisputed showdown.
“I am not training no more. I never stopped training since December 2017 and even after these world title fights I train the next day… I’ve been ready to fight since I beat Deontay Wilder last year. So I have had no success in getting another fight, not just down to the COVID, a lot of stuff going on.”
When asked about information regarding the fight taking place, the WBC champion was very candid.
“You tell me, I think everyone in this building knows more about this fight than I do, actually. Apparently, its done, it’s signed. We got a date, venue when I watch again. News to me – I don’t know jack! I don’t know anything.”
