Butterbean calls out John Fury for a super fight

Butterbean would love to get his hands on John Fury.

A bout with the polarizing former fighter would undoubtedly capture the imagination of the fans.

In an interview with Mirror Fighting via Lucky Energy, the 58-year-old claimed he’d love to take on ‘Gypsy John’ before facing his son, Tyson Fury.

The warrior enthused: “I’d fight the old man first, beat him up, slap around him pretty good.

“And then I’d want to beat the son up pretty bad. I would love to fight Tyson Fury.

“You know, I was offered to fight his dad. And it’s been a while. I’d love to fight him, either one of them. But yeah, Tyson Fury is the one I’d really want. His dad would be an easy fight.

“That’d be a couple rounder. I’d be like, go out there and just have fun, and then get ready for the son. It’d be a warm-up fight. I mean, now that I believe in myself, I can do anything. And since I’m in such great shape, I know I can accomplish my goals.”

Butterbean’s favorite knockout came against a man who beat one of Mike Tyson’s conquerors

Butterbean has a long history of scoring epic knockouts.

Blessed with dynamite in his hands, the popular sportsman could finish a fight in a single punch.

Because of this, many a talented fighter has fallen foul to his power.

However, Butterbean has one KO he loves more than any other.
