Wlad in a recent interview claims Team Fury don't want a shot at Wlad. Fury sets him straight: Well, I can put my life on it and everyone else's life on it, and one hundred percent of that is bull**** because if Wladimir Klitschko offered me a fight I'd go there and I'd smash his jaw all over the ring for him and he knows that. Emanuel Steward told him that he would get knocked out by me. He knows he's gonna get knocked out by me, his brothers retired because he didn't want to fight me and now he's trying to avoid me this Wladimir, who they say is this great champion but wont fight anybody his own size who's any good. Now, I'm sending a challenge to Wladimir Klitschko, I'll fight Wladimir any time any place anywhere, just give me a date and I'll be there, I don't care if its on one days notice. There is definately no way I'd avoid Wladimir, he'd be the last person on earth that I'd try to avoid. I've been chasing him for two years and he wont fight me, so if he offered me a fight, I'd take it, I wouldn't say the money wasn't right, I'd fight him for free, so if he's saying I'm scared of him or not ready for him then I'd like to know who he spoke to? Mick Hennessey wouldn't dare say anything like that, Peter Fury wouldn't dare say anything like that and I would definitely not refuse the challenge. If Wladimir wants it, he can have it and I'll definitely relieve him of all his belts. The last big person he fought was Mariusz Wach, he got wobbled and Mariusz Wach's useless. Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight in the world, never mind a top contender, I am the man, I am the man without the titles and he wont fight me, I'm the most avoided fighter out there, the only ones that do wanna fight me are the ones that nobody else wants and I fight them and I knock them out, so there you have it.
Wlads wants none of it. He would have to jump up if he tried to lean all over Fury and he's not going to tie him up when Fury closes the gap.
Tyson needs to get in line and earn his way to a title shot. They're not just handed out like sweets.
They tired to hand it out to Boystov like sweets. Boystov pulled out of a fight with Fury. What does Fury have to do to earn it?
So Fury pulls out of a fight with Pulev to be Wladimir's Mandatory and yet he still has the nerve to say Wlads ducking him. As for saying Vitali retired because he didn't want to fight him is just utterly delusional. Fury is a decent heavyweight but npt much else, this is still the same man who went life and death with no hopers and fringe contenders like John McDermott, Nicolai Firtha, Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham. Sure he beat a fat Chisora and a lazy Kevin Johnson but hardly world beating is it.
Fury definately deserves a crack, look at some of the heavyweights put in front of him, the last one had a padded record and was more like a journey man.. Fury deserves a crack..
Pulled out to take a harder fight. And Pulev is mando but can't get Wlad in the ring. Why should Fury que up in that line and be waiting years.
Winning against Pulev would have secured Fury's shot vs. Wlad. Now Fury is blaming it on Wlad, but it was *HIM* who chose not to fight for the mandatory shot. Fury just looks like a dumbass now crying foul over this. He should have known Haye is unreliable and has a history of pulling out of big fights. Everybody knew it.
Pretty simple really. He could have fought Pulev first and then Haye afterwards but his team knew Pulev would beat him so went for the money fight instead. Also if you think he was getting any where near the £5 million reported then you'll believe anything. Well either way it's backfired on him now so he has to go to the back of the que again.
Good post, some people just can't accept that fact. Fury recently announced his retirement so he should just stick to it and go away.
Wladimir would slaughter this clown, if he decides to throw punches rather than hold and jab all night.
Im a huge Fury fan. I know he'll be a HW titlist down the road. But he has been offered a fight with Wlad before and turned it down for $$$$ reasons. NTM, as Wlad has proven, you don't need to beat an ATG to become an ATG. I think Fury likes his chances vs Wlad....he certainly can't do no worse than Potvetkin, but it's not the kindof $$$$ he's gonna get for rematching DelBoy, or for making a fight with Wilder Arreola or Adamek. Fury's got the big TV contact, and fills stadiums. It's better for him to petition for the WBA minor title or the WBC title, maybe get em both, be called SUPERCHAMPION himself, for unifying, and then get 50/50 of a $35 million fight vs Wlad for all the bells and whistles. Fury<Arreola, Stiverne, Adamek, Wilder, Jennings etc. It's just a matter of steering clear of Pulev, Perez, and Helenius(if he recovers). Those are the guys who have his #### and won't make him $$$. On a side note.....Wilder does have that punchers chance vs ANYONE. Fury might want to wait for that fight until after he gets his paydays done and can get rematch clauses in his contracts.:think
