Tyson Fury says Anthony Joshua isnt real champion

Tyson Fury has claimed compatriot and unified
heavyweight title holder Anthony Joshua only has his leftovers and can’t be
considered a true champion.

‘The Gypsy King’ dethroned Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf five years ago and won he WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world belts but was quickly stripped as he suffered mental health issues. All of those titles Fury once held are now in the possession of Olympic champion Joshua.

Speculation about a fight between the two Englishman has been rife since Fury beat American Deontay Wilder to claim the WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight titles in February. Speaking about the potential all-British showdown on Good Morning Britain Fury revealed he believes there would be only one legitimate champion heading into the fight, he said.  

“I’ve already been the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world when I beat Klitschko, I had all of the belts. So as far as I’m concerned, Anthony Joshua has only got my leftovers because I never lost those belts. I had to vacate them for mental health problems. They’re my belts. How can you claim to be the champion when you haven’t beaten the champion?”

The 6’9ft heavyweight revealed he is approaching the end of his career and once he has beaten Wilder again and faced Joshua his legacy and career will be compete, he said.

“I’ve got two
more fights left and then we’ll really think about what we’re doing and go from
there,’ he said.  I’m undefeated in 31
professional fights and this is my 12th year as a professional.”

‘The Gypsy King’ also commented on his upcoming trilogy fight with Wilder who triggered his rematch clause despite being brutally stopped just two weeks ago. Despite having got the best of his future opponent twice previously Fury insists he’ll still be taking a third fight very seriously.

“I beat him the first time and I beat him the second time and I will surely beat him the third time. He’s a very worthy opponent. He’s a very dangerous opponent and he has the eraser knockout. You’re only one mistake away from disaster, you have to be switched on for all 12 rounds.”

Is Anthony Joshua a legitimate heavyweight world champion?

Dana White Believes The Deontay Wilder Costume Excuse

Dana White believes Deontay Wilder costume excuse

UFC President Dana White
believes Deontay Wilder’s loss to Tyson Fury was in part down to his 40lb ring
walk costume.

Last weekend White
skipped his promotions trip to Auckland, New Zealand and instead watched the eagerly
anticipated rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.

He was probably right to do so as ‘The Gypsy King’ put on one of the best heavyweight performances you’ll ever see. He dominated Wilder from the first bell, dropping the infamous puncher twice and ultimately forcing his corner to throw in the towel.

In the aftermath of the fight Wilder told media he’d be taking the rematch and claimed his loss was only the result of his ring walk costume which was too heavy and hindered him in the actual fight.

The excuse has been laughed at by many fight fans who are calling Wilder a sore loser. However, the UFC boss believes the costume excuse is legitimate and says it was surely a factor in the American suffering his first professional loss.

“I don’t know man. I think there’s a lot to it and you know. White told TMZ Sports. “Fury looked awesome. Fury looked great. Fury fought a great fight. Fury fought a perfect fight but, if you think about boxing and fights, when fighters are getting ready, they’re in the back, their relaxing, some guys sleep, some guys just lay around and chill. Then you get up, time it out and do your warm up. Then you throw something on to stay warm, you don’t put all this gear on and all this stuff. That’s why I don’t do any of that bullsh*t in the UFC, I don’t like it.

“It definitely played
a part in it yeah. Throwing on a 50lb weight vest and walking out into a ring
for a heavyweight championship fight – you’ve never seen anyone do that in
history. Is that the reason he lost? The reason he lost is because Fury is a badass
boxer and he fought the perfect fight that night and executed his game plan. But
it played a factor in why Deontay lost.”

Legendary boxing
promoter Bob Arum has confirmed former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder
has officially triggered his rematch clause and will face Tyson Fury in a
trilogy fight.

Speaking to Ringside Reporter the Top Rank boss confirmed the process has officially begin to make Wilder/Fury III, he said.

“Wilder and his representatives formerly notified us last night that they have accepted the rematch and are going forward. It’s going to happen in the summer, before the Olympics, middle of July.

This news has already been fed back to Anthony Joshua and his team who had been hoping for an all English heavyweight undisputed fight. Arum insists that fight can still be made later this year, provided Joshua gets past another of his fighters Kurbat Pulev. The 38-year-old Bulgarian is the British superstar’s mandatory challenger and is believed to be taking on Joshua in June. Arum believes it’ll be Pulec who comes out victorious in that bout, paving the way for an all Top Rank unification bout.

“I told Eddie Hearn, I said ‘Stop looking at a Tyson Fury fight this year. You’ve got to fight Pulev in June, and Joshua is going to get knocked on his arse’ I guarantee you that Pulev will knockout Joshua like Tyson Fury knocked out Wilder.

“So yes,
I will look to make a Pulev-Fury fight to unify all the belts by the end of the
year, but Mr. Hearn will have nothing to do with it.”

“If Joshua beats Pulev and Fury beats Wilder, then why not do a Joshua-Fury fight at the end of the year. And we would certainly then sit with Eddie and work it out. So everybody is saying the same thing. But again, these fights have to play out first.”

Stitch Duran shuts down conspiracy

Tyson Fury’s
cutman Stitch Duran has spoken out to shut down a conspiracy theory surrounding
his fighters win over Deontay Wilder.

‘The Gypsy King’ stopped Wilder inside seven rounds during their highly anticipated heavyweight rematch last weekend. In the first fight the ringside judges controversially scored the bout a draw despite Fury dominating most of the fight. He left no doubt in the rematch dominating from the opening bell and forcing his opponents’ corner to throw in the towel mid-way through the fight.

The American has come out and made the most unusual excuse for losing. He claimed his ring walk costume was too heavy and impacted his performance. Something the designer has since rebuked.

Now, his fans have begun making claims
which are just as strange. One
prominent conspiracy gathered some pace. Many fans believe Fury’s gloves were
somehow tampered with allowing him to punch without cushioning in the gloves.

The video below started the conspiracy and has almost one million view on YouTube. It appears to show Fury’s hands moving in an unnatural way during the fight.

Speaking to Boxing Social, the legendary cutman played down any conspiracy and ensure everything was above board on the gloves situation, he said.

“I’ll
give you the facts, the Nevada State Athletic Commission is one of the best commissions
in the world.

“They
handle the gloves until it’s time to put them on. There was no tampering
whatsoever. I was there. It’s just a big myth.

“It
didn’t happen. That’s why you have the inspectors there to make sure everything
is followed within the guidelines. None of that happened, but it’s good for
discussion.

“It’s going to fade away. It’s not even true, it’s not even close to being true.” (Transcribed by Sports Bible)

Former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has spoken publicly for the first time since losing his title to Tyson Fury.

The American suffered his first professional loss in a one-sided beat down at the hands of ‘The Gypsy King’. After seven hard rounds, including two knockdowns Wilder’s corner threw in the towel ending the bout.

Since the fight Wilder has only spoke only to confirm he would be exercising his rematch clause. He also placed blame upon the 40lb costume he wore during his ring entrance for wrecking his legs and causing the loss.

Now he has taken to Instagram to address his fans directly. The former WBC King has vowed to return to his best and regain the title he lost last week.  

“Hello
my people, my Bomb Squad army, my Bomb Squad nation. To all my loved ones
around the world – I just want to let you know I am here,” Wilder said in
the video.

“Your king is here and we ain’t going nowhere, for the
war has just begun. I will rise again. I am strong.

“I
am a king, you can’t take my pride. I am a warrior. I am a king that will never
give up. I’m a king that will fight to the death.

“And
if anyone don’t understand that, don’t understand what it is to go to war,
don’t understand what it is to fight, we will rise again. We will regain the
title. I will be back. We will hold our heads up high.

“Your king is in great spirits. We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes and regain the title. I’ll see you in a few months, for the war has just begun. All my love to all my people.” (Transcribed by Sky Sports)
