Fury Compares Himself To Ali
On Monday on FIGHT SPORTS, Tyson Fury and his camp need to set a date to have a hearing to regain his license.
Fury and Anthony Joshua have been publicly claiming they want to fight each other and Fury believes that he is like Muhammad Ali, who was exiled from the sport for refusing to be drafted into the US Army for the Vietnam War for religious reasons. With that comparison, Fury considers Joshua his Foreman, a much-feared fighter who had dominated the heavyweight division prior to facing Ali in Zaire in October 1974, which celebrated an anniversary on Monday..
Fury posted an image of the two all-time great combatants on Instagram, along with the caption: “This is what’s to come!
“The old champ coming back to fight a man who everyone thinks will KO me, same as Ali vs Foreman the stylish Ali vs the mummy Forman! We all know what happens in this fight!”
“I know you all got me whooped, but I will not lay down or be afraid of some muscles & I have the mentality of a winner a man who has never lost a fight.”
Fury also decided to rope President Donald Trump into this situation asking him via Twitter to ask him to join his ringwalk.
“Donald Trump, who do you think wins the fury vs AJ fight? You can walk me out if you want, be a part of the biggest fight ever.”
Fury also laid down the gauntlet to WBC champion Deontay Wilder.
“A true champion coming back to claim his thrown. This is my era they are from my time, I must destroy them.
AJ & Wilder I’m coming back for you pair my mission is seek & destroy the only thing on my mind is destruction who ever gets in my way will be dealt with accordingly.
“There’s only one winner & that’s the fans! Let’s make the heavyweights great again, fight the best in the division.”
