Tyson Fury’s career is closer to the end than the beginning. However, his championship legacy grants him time that would chase average fighters into the sunset. <\/p>\n

With the eyes of the boxing world continuously set upon the “Gypsy King,” he is awaiting his next opportunity to speak at a microphone.<\/p>\n

Fury (35-2-1, 24 KO) shows equal aplomb with words as he does his footwork, and will always give an honest interview with sharp quotes at the ready. The former champion drew a sports-related parallel sure to amuse fans and irritate rivals.<\/p>\n

Since 2009, Fury has dominated the British heavyweight boxing scene. His battles against Deontay Wilder became the tapestry upon which he wove his career. Now, with a current crop of heavyweights that are younger, they seek to wrest the attention away from the 37-year-old.<\/p>\n

Fury shades Dubois and Wardley<\/p>\n

In a video on his YouTube channel FurociTV, Fury discussed the possibility of fighting Daniel Dubois (23-3, 22 KO) or Fabio Wardley (20-1-1, 19 KO), who engaged in an 11-round brawl that saw the former knock out the latter for the WBO heavyweight title. The former unified champion dismissed the notion in his own inimitable way.<\/p>\n

“It’s like League One [the third tier of English football] versus UEFA Champions League [the leading football tournament in Europe]. Although they had a good fight together, we’ve seen what happens when Dubois steps up to the Premiership. They don’t really do anything for me.”<\/p>\n

Fury added on their last fight and styles, “They’re very good fighting men,but there’s not a lot of avoided punches in there. It’s just mainly giving and taking it. I’m not going to go off track.”<\/p>\n

For additional context, the UEFA Champions League brings together soccer’s best teams from across Europe who battle to see who is the best on the continent.<\/p>\n

In essence, Fury equated Wardley and Dubois to, basically, a minor league\/feeder system, whereas he stands among the best. Moreover, his statement suggests that Wardley and Dubois are beneath him. Most importantly, Fury chided the boxers for a face-first style that excites crowds but doesn’t suit a boxer like Fury, who uses angles and footwork to slip punches and counter effectively. <\/p>\n

Despite his less-than-athletic build, the former champion brings an effective jab and timing that unsettles brawlers who desperately want the bout to turn into a standing in the pocket exchange of punches.<\/p>\n
