Tyson Fury: record, next fight and profile →
John Fury, the father of heavyweight contender Tyson Fury, has called out UFC president Dana White - following White's negative outlook with respect to Fury's potential future in mixed martial arts. In a recent interview, Tyson Fury discussed the idea of entering the world of MMA - and called out several notable names in or around the heavyweight division.
In the last few weeks, heavyweight contender Tyson Fury has been calling out anyone and everyone in boxing, pro wrestling and even mixed martial arts. Last month Fury made his pro wrestling debut with the WWE, when he defeated Braun Strowman by countout, as part of the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.
Tyson Fury has threatened that he will never box in the UK again -a she turns his direction to continuing his career in the United States. The former unified world heavyweight champion is pencilled in to face WBC king Deontay Wilder next February in a rematch of their enthralling December 2018 draw, providing Wilder comes through his return against Cuban veteran Luis Ortiz later this month.
Deontay Wilder is more concerned with the rematch in front of him than the one waiting in the wings. That is, if there’s still a rematch in waiting by the time he takes care of business in his next fight. The unbeaten heavyweight titlist remains hard on the grind for his Nov. 23 showdown versus Miami’s Luis Ortiz (31-1, 26KOs; 2NCs), which airs live on Fox Sports Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
THERE CANNOT BE much dispute now over the fact that Tyson Fury must be one of the most recognisable sporting figures on the planet. Since adding ESPN to his television portfolio alongside BT Sport, Tyson has wowed, charmed and thrilled American audiences by pretty much just being himself and enjoying life to the full.
Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury would like to see his countryman Anthony Joshua get revenge against Andy Ruiz - but he doesn't expect that scenario to take place. Back in June, Ruiz secured a seventh round stoppage over Joshua to capture the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight titles. Joshua went down four times in the fight.
Their fight took place almost a year ago but their war of words has never gone away. Deontay Wilder, the current unbeaten WBC Heavyweight champion, has claimed that Fury is scared to fight him again. The pair fought to a contentious split draw at the Staples Center, Los Angeles on December 1st, 2018.
WITH THE NATION now in election-mode, it was our team last week carrying out a bit of canvassing with what you might call the Green (and gold) party for our fighters at the WBC convention in Cancun.
UFC President Dana White believes heavyweight contender Tyson Fury would get seriously hurt if he attempted to make a run in Mixed Martial Arts - especially in the UFC. Last month, Fury made his debut in pro wrestling - when he entered the ring in Saudi Arabia to win a match against WWE superstar Braun Strowman by knockout.
Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury has achieved his lifelong dream of taking part in a pro wrestling match for the WWE. Following in the footsteps of boxers like Floyd Mayweather Jr, Fury stepped in the ring with wrestling star Braun Strowman at WWE's Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.
