‘He wouldn’t land a glove on me’… Tyson Fury exudes confidence discussing unexpected match-up

Tyson Fury has announced that he will return to boxing in April against Oleksandr Usyk, though this has not been confirmed.

In footage of a phone call between Fury and Turki Alalshikh, ‘The Gypsy King’ can be seen stating his desire to fight AJ and Usyk.

But there is one other heavyweight who Fury was asked about, who may hold the key to Fury becoming a champion once again.

‘I’d absolutely annihilate him’… Tyson Fury believes Daniel Dubois is an easy fight for him

When asked about what fight he would want next, Fury stated that the Usyk fight was the one he wanted most, as he believed he won the first two encounters.

Usyk will face Dubois for the second time on July 19th, and a win for Dubois would make him the undisputed heavyweight champion.

When asked about the Dubois match-up by Fight Hub TV, Fury said: “If I was to return, and I was to box Dubois, I would box that motherf—— ears off. He wouldn’t land a glove on me, it would be a one-sided beatdown.”

It’s possible that fight happens if Dubois can cause the major upset at Wembley in July.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk stared down for 11 minutes

Ahead of their second fight, Fury and Usyk engaged in an intense face-off, staring into one another’s eyes for a whopping 11 minutes.

The pair was eventually broken up, at which point Fury broke into a tirade of trash talk, with Usyk responding, but in a more calm and collected manner.
