He's back fighting on Friday Fight Night. Here's an article from the sun newspaper today:
TYSON FURY insists the biggest wake up call of his career means he will be putting more opponents to sleep.
The heavyweight hopeful produced the worst performance of his nine fight pro career when John McDermott exposed his fitness as way short of what is needed at the highest level.
Fury was blowing out his backside after just four rounds back in September but somehow hung on for a controversial 10 round points victory over McDermott that almost started a riot inside the Brentwood, Essex arena.
And he admitted: "Yes, I found that fight really tough going. It was a wake up call I heard and more importantly did something about.
"If I don't put in the right work in the gym and on the road, I can't expect to reach the very top.
"So far I've shown some of my power by knocking out seven of my opponents and more will go the same way but as I step up in class I am expecting to do a lot more rounds and I need to be properly prepared."
What Tyson did show as he won the English heavyweight title against McDermott was enough character to dig deep and beat a pro 10 years his senior.
He is in action again on Friday night at Huddersfield Leisure Centre hoping to build up to a crack at the British title after teaming up with a new training camp and heading for Germany to get the right kind of sparring.
The 19 stone 21-year-old Mancunian, who stands six foot nine inches tall added: "My team of Brian Hughes and Pat Barrett seem chuffed to bits with the progress I've made since my fight with McDermott.
"I'm becoming a more complete fighter and a fitter fighter. I'm moving better, using my skill more and not just looking for a war.
"I feel I could fight WBA world heavyweight champion David Haye.
"I'd fight Haye tomorrow and Wladimir Klitschko in the afternoon after a bit of dinner.
"With each passing month of training and development I can feel my skills improving more and more."
McDermott has demanded a rematch and there's a chance of it happening later this year with Fury admitting he learned his lesson the first time around.
He added: "I give McDermott his dues as he is a good fighter but the time for trash talking him is over now.
"He fought the worst version of Tyson Fury that night and he had some success.
"At the end of the day he was a 10 year professional whereas I was less than a year into my career and I still beat him. Next time out you'll see me dominate him.
"While I'll always have something to say about my opponents, from now on I'm going to do most of my talking with my fists — starting this Friday night."
