Heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14KOs) has promised to hurt, punish, knockout and retire former cruiserweight king Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12KOs) on April 20th at The Theatre in Madison Square Garden. The match will be televised by NBC Sports. Fury vowed to use every inch of his 6'9 frame to overwhelm the smaller man. The UK-based heavyweight wants to make a big impression in the United States.

"Steve has a beautiful wife and beautiful kids. But I'm going to retire you Steve. You are not a heavyweight. You're a cruiserweight. You're a little guy. I want to ask you and Kathy [Duva], are the bottom of your shoes sponsored? There will be a lot of cameras and you're getting knocked out, so I would like to put my Twitter page on the bottom of your shoes to get more Twitter fans. I'm going to hurt your serious, I hope you understand that. I mean business. I didn't come here to play around, I came here to do demolition jobs to cruiserweights. You're not in the same league as Kevin Johnson, you're chinny and you're getting knocked out," Fury said.
