Tyson Fury was in Manchester at the Misfits event on Saturday and a day later was on the White House lawn at the UFC event.<\/p>\n
Fury, despite not fighting since boxing Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, has remained in the headlines with the tug-of-war between promoters Eddie Hearn and Dana White over who would promote his bout later this year against Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n
Fury was presented at the White House yesterday, and said White would have an announcement to make about his future.<\/p>\n
Before that, however, Fury spoke to IFL TV in Manchester and said that he would like to fight in the interim and could box in July or August. He said that Andy Ruiz had priced himself out of a fight and said of the speculation that 24-0 (22 KOs) Albanian Nelson Hysa could be his opponent: \u201cNelson\u2019s been one of the names that\u2019s been talked about. He\u2019s highly-ranked, undefeated guy, knockout artist, so he\u2019s been one of the guys that\u2019s been spoke of, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, Fury was asked about who might promote the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I don\u2019t care who\u2019s promoting the fight\u2026 it will all come out in the wash. It\u2019s more of an ego thing for the promoters. For me, I\u2019ll turn up, give me my money and I\u2019ll put on a show. Whoever wants to put the biggest check up and the biggest event on, come see me\u2026 I don\u2019t care where it is. Doesn\u2019t really matter to me, as long as the fight happens\u2026 I just want to do the fight. We\u2019re old enough, we\u2019re mature enough, we\u2019re both at the same stage of our careers, let\u2019s fucking fight. I don\u2019t care about he said, she said. It doesn\u2019t matter to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever\u2019s paying for this fight, which I don\u2019t know who\u2019s got the fight on, there\u2019s that many promoters got involved now it\u2019s like who\u2019s putting the fight on. I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fury spoke of the benefits of having the fight outside the UK, so fans could make a weekend of the bout taking place overseas, but he also threw up the idea that if the Joshua fight proved too difficult to nail down, he would have other options. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a few scenarios that\u2019s happening,\u201d Fury explained. \u201cI\u2019m in a great position, by the way. Ranked No. 1 with the WBC again. If rabbits-face [Oleksandr Usyk] pulls out of the fight with [Agit] Kabayel [the WBC\u2019s No. 1], then I am in with Kabayel. So if the Joshua fight doesn\u2019t happen for whatever reason, then I\u2019ll get my shot at [being] three times [champion] against Kabayel and I\u2019ll take it to Wembley. Three times heavyweight champion of the world, Agit Kabayel, this big destroying man who I\u2019ve known from being a young lad and helped promote him, manage him, everything, that\u2019d be great.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury was in Manchester at the Misfits event on Saturday and a day later was on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[21377,6565,2560,6102,10078,101,6901,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-641844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-agit-kabayel","tag-anthony-joshua","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-boxingscene","tag-sports","tag-tyson-fury","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
