Breazeale: I'd Beat Tyson Fury With One Hand Behind My Back!

By Edward Chaykovsky

Heavyweight contender Dominic Breazeale is aiming to unify all of the titles in his division. He takes his first step against IBF champion Anthony Joshua.

Joshua (16-0, 16KOs) captured the IBF world title in April with a two round destruction of previously undefeated Charles Martin.

He defends the title against Breazeale (17-0, 15KOs) on June 25th at the O2 Arena in London. Fighting on UK soil, Breazeale sees a knockout conclusion as his only chance at victory.

After Joshua, Breazeale will place his focus on WBO/WBA/IBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18KOs), who defends his belts against Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch on July 9th. Fury captured the belts last November with a twelve round decision over Klitschko.

Breazeale believes Fury will be a very easy fight for him.

"I don't think much of Tyson Fury, especially after the performance he put in against Wladimir Klitschko. I'd beat Tyson Fury with one hand tied behind my back. I think nothing of that character. He's got a better chance of joining the WWE than continue being the heavyweight champ," Breazeale told Sky Sports.

As previously reported,  Breazeale was also embarrassed by the performance of Martin, who captured the vacant IBF title in January after an injury was suffered by Czar Glazkov. Martin appeared to mentally check out after going down for a second time in the contest with Joshua, in the second round, and allowed the referee to count him out.

"Being an American citizen watching another American go overseas and fight in the UK and fight against Anthony Joshua I was a little upset at the performance he put together in that four minutes of shame," Breazeale said.

"I think Anthony Joshua broke more of a sweat in the back locker room then he did in the four minutes of fighting. Charles Martin wasn't good enough to be a heavyweight contender never mind a title holder."
