TYSON FURY is no stranger to making outlandish claims of his own. Ahead of his straightforward comeback against Sefer Seferi earlier this month, he compared himself to some of the greatest fighters in history. But he was unimpressed with Deontay Wilderโs own boasts about Mike Tyson.
Fury issued a message to Wilder, the current WBC heavyweight champion. โIโve seen another ridiculous statement from you Wilder, that youโve got more fear factor than Mike Tyson had,โ Fury said on social media. โYouโre a dreamer you are, honestly. Iโve never seen a man dream so much in my life. I donโt know why youโre taking the great Mike Tysonโs name in vain and keep mentioning him when heโs not even in your era.โ
But Fury continued, โHowever there is a Tyson in your era. And Iโll stop you inside five rounds, you bum.โ
He went on to hurl insults at Wilder. โYou big, lanky, skinner legged, dosser. You chinless bum. Iโll put my fist right through you. If you want to fight, come to the Mac Daddy, come see the โGypsy King,โโ he said.
โAny time, any place, anywhere. When I challenged you to your face and you s*** yourself in New York City, come on, letโs get it on. S***house. Stop mentioning Mike Tysonโs name.โ
Fury is throwing out the challenges, particularly for Wilder at present. Tyson is due to box again on August 18 at Windsor Park, but itโs certain to be a low key opponent, probably much like Sefer Seferi. Wilder meanwhile is in the midst of negotiations for a major unification for all four heavyweight titles with Anthony Joshua and hopes are high that that, the biggest fight in the sport, can be made.
