Tyson Fury believes a heavyweight showdown between himself and
British rival David Haye will be the biggest fight in world boxing and a
bigger fight than if either of them challenged for the world
heavyweight titles against Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko.
The unbeaten 25 year-old has so far chalked up 21 straight wins in as
many starts and has said the fight is ‘very close’ to being
finalized-that being the case Fury insists it will be the biggest fight
of 2013.
Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports Ringside programme, Fury said:
"It’s the only fight that would ever make sense for Tyson Fury right
now. "I’ve fought the two Americans, the top Americans, and I’ve been to
New York and fought at Madison Square Garden and now I’m ready to take
over the division.
"There’s only one heavyweight in the world and that’s me. I’m the one
to beat and nobody in the world can compete with me and I’m going to
prove that."
Fury added: "If this fight does happen then I think this fight will
be the biggest fight ever to enter a British boxing ring. The British
fight fans and the British public are in for a real real treat.
"When it comes to talking there’s no one better than me and David
Haye for entertainment and excitement. It’s a 50-50 fight, we’re
all-action fighters and when we do get in there it will be a war, like
the words will be."
If as expected that the fight does happen in September the bookies
will almost certainly make Haye the pre fight favorite but Fury insists
he is the No.1 British heavyweight and will prove it on the night.
"As far as I’m concerned I’m the No 1 heavyweight in the UK," said
Fury."David Haye is a pretender and a celebrity who likes to live a
celebrity’s lifestyle. But I’m an active fighter and it’s a man who’s
had two fights in two years against a man who’s had lots of fights in
two years. I’ve been busy against world class fighters and it will tell
on the night."
If for some reason the Haye fight does not happen who else will Tyson Fury turn his attention to?
"There’s nobody else if the Haye fight doesn’t happen. The only fight
that might make sense is Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko,” said Fury.
"I don’t see anybody else to fight. And actually, I don’t think
either of the Klitschkos would be as big as me and David Haye. It’s the
biggest fight in boxing across all divisions and I can’t think of any
other fight that anybody would want to see.
"There’s only one heavyweight in the world and that’s me. I’m the one
to beat and nobody in the world can compete with me and I’m going to
prove that. I’ve been an underdog many times and I’m ready to take on
anybody. I do believe in my heart of hearts that the Klitschkos won’t
fight me."
