Joseph Parker denies report of Tyson Fury being dropped by Jai Opetaia in sparring

By
tyson fury

Joseph Parker wants to put all the rumors surrounding Tyson Fury’s training camp to bed.

‘The Gypsy King’ is currently slated to return to the boxing ring on Feb. 17. That night in Saudi Arabia, Fury will face Oleksandr Usyk in the biggest fight of his career. The winner of that bout will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis.

With that in mind, the British boxer decided to make every effort in terms of preparation. One of Fury’s moves was to bring in undefeated cruiserweight star Jai Opetaia into training camp. Suddenly, the Australian left after only reportedly sparring five rounds with the heavyweight.

Instantly, there were rumors that Fury was dropped in training, which led to Opetaia’s fast exit. Ultimately, the cruiserweight’s promoters later released a statement hitting back at that claim. Now, Parker wants to put it to bed for good.

The former champion himself is in training camp right now with Fury and others to prepare for a March return against Zhilei Zhang. Speaking with Boxing King Media, Parker was asked about the claim.

Parker responded (via Boxing Social):

Tyson Fury

“Sparring is sparring but a lot of people will make up stories… I know that Tyson never got dropped and I want to go online and say ‘hey guys, he didn’t’, but I don’t want to be a part of that, I just want to save my energy for my fight.”

Joseph Parker offers prediction for Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk

He’s absolutely biased, but Joseph Parker believes that Tyson Fury will become the undisputed champion next month.

In the aforementioned interview, the Australian boxer was asked a lot about ‘The Gypsy King’. While he downplayed rumors that he was dropped by Jai Opetaia in training, he also previewed his friend’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

As of now, the betting odds between the two are razor close. Furthermore, it seems that most boxers are split on the matchup itself. However, the last unified heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis, picked Fury to win earlier this month.

That sounds about right to one, Joseph Parker. When asked for a prediction for Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk by Boxing King Media, he responded:

“You know who I am going for, you know who I am backing, I am very biased in that sense…I just know that Tyson is going to take care of business, he’s going to be the undisputed champion and it’s going to be great.”

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: Former world champion explains why he backs Usyk to win

By
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

With only weeks remaining until Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk square off to determine the undisputed world heavyweight champion, fans and pundits alike are having their say on the massive fight.

Both men are undefeated and bring with them a vastly different skillset that could create one of the most memorable fights in recent memory, and with so much at stake seemingly everyone in the boxing world has an opinion on what will happen on Feb. 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

NEWS:-Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: Anticipated Broadcast Details for Heavyweight Title Unification Match

Former WBA (Super) super-middleweight champion George Groves is among those looking forward to the bout, and he has chosen a winner. Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, the Briton laid out his reasons for backing Usyk against the bigger Fury, noting the Ukrainian’s speed and intensity as factors that could decide the outcome.

“I think Usyk wins, I think he’s in better form,” Groves said. “I know people are attacking him a bit for the [Daniel] Dubois performance but I thought he was very, very good.

“Usyk was in full control and stopped him. Usyk will take Fury out of his comfort zone, Fury’s a big unit and he carries a lot of weight and if Usyk makes him work harder than he used to then it’s going to be a tough night for him.

NEWS:-And now will he fight Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk next winter?

“Usyk builds into a fight and each round he cranks it up. I think he’s in better form, I’m going against the natural size of Fury, and I’m picking Usyk. I think he wins quite comfortably.”

Groves has made no secret about favouring Usyk for the upcoming fight, so much so that he said Fury even personally questioned him at a recent event.

“Fury pulled me backstage once and he said ‘hey, why are you picking Usyk to win’ and I said ‘Tyson, someone’s got to pick him,'” Groves said.

Tyson Fury left red-faced as sparring partner lifts lid on Francis Ngannou camp

By
Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou

Tyson Fury’s sparring partner insists the WBC heavyweight champion worked hard in the gym despite some suggesting otherwise.

Tyson Fury’s sparring partner Sol Dacres has refuted claims that ‘The Gypsy King’ didn’t prepare properly for his crossover clash with Francis Ngannou – suggesting the only reason Fury struggled to a controversial victory was because of how good Ngannou is. After an underwhelming split decision over his novice foe, Fury’s father John insisted that his son simply hadn’t done enough conditioning and that was why it was such a close fight.

“He didn’t look right, everything had changed about him, his demeanour, his body. I was puzzled. He said he had been training but there is training and there is training,” Fury Sr. told the Metro via Freebets.com.

“If you’re going at your own pace no one is going to tell you otherwise, no one is going to offend you or kick you up the backside.” But Dacres, who was in camp with Fury for five weeks in the lead-up to fight night, claims this was not the case.

“John wasn’t really in the camp. It’s all good saying it in hindsight. I was there for five weeks. We were sparring hard, doing 12, 15 round sessions,” he told Seconds Out ahead of his upcoming English heavyweight title defence against David Adeleye on March 16th.

Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou

“I’ve been in previous camps and he was training just as hard as previous camps so it’s hard to say. It’s really more on him than anything. The training camp was preparing for a 12-round fight.”

Fury did look more fatigued than usual during the contest but this may have had more to do with the strength and power of Ngannou. The fight was a very physical affair that saw Fury attempt to force his will on the Cameroonian MMA star in typical Kronk fashion.

However, Ngannou looked the stronger man in there and was able to outmuscle his more experienced foe on the inside. Add to that, the fatiguing effects of repeated concussive blows from a heavy-handed fighter like Ngannou and you have a recipe for disaster.

In the end, Fury was able to do enough to nick the decision on two of the three judges scorecards but the fight will go down as one of the toughest tests of his career despite the seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against Ngannou.

By
tyson fury

TYSON FURY has given boxing fans their first glimpse at his secret Saudi training camp for the biggest fight of his career.

The Gypsy King will bid to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in over 25 years in Riyadh next month when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, 35, has essentially gone radio silent ahead of the historic and career-defining showdown.

Unlike camps of yesteryear, Fury isn’t regularly taking to social media to give fans updates.

But he’s broken his mini blackout over the last few days to give his followers some insight into what he’s been doing.

Taking to his Instagram story on Saturday afternoon, the WBC heavyweight champion shared a clip of himself and his team getting a training session in at the gym.

Fury posed for a snap with the 69-year-old and his manager Spencer Brown.

Given the magnitude of the fight with Usyk, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Fury goes radio silent again ahead of the February 17 clash.

The Wythenshawe warrior knows he faces a difficult task to permanently write his name into the history books.

He said: “It’s going to be one of the fights for the ages.

“I believe we are both destined to be here and to be in this big fight in Saudi Arabia.

“And there’s only one winner, and I am destined to become the undisputed champion.

“More than that, I am destined to cement my legacy as the No. 1 fighter in this era.

“To do that I have to beat this little man and that’s it, simple as.

“Easier said than done I understand, he’s a tricky man, good boxer, slick.

Turki Alalshikh: Even If Usyk Wins, The People Still Want To See Tyson Fury Against Joshua

By
Tyson Fury And Oleksandr Usyk

Turki Alalshikh is open to financially backing an Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury fight even if Fury loses twice to Oleksandr Usyk.

The chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, which has fully funded many of the biggest fights in boxing over the past few months, won’t abandon bouts he believes boxing fans will still want to see even if fighters lose. Alalshikh still sees a way to put together a Joshua-Deontay Wilder fight, which would’ve finally taken place March 8 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh had Joseph Parker not upset Wilder by unanimous decision in their 12-rounder December 23 at Kingdom Arena.

The 42-year-old Alalshikh will take the same approach to Fury-Joshua if Usyk defeats Fury in their heavyweight title unification fight February 17 at Kingdom Arena. England’s Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and Ukraine’s Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) have reportedly agreed to a two-fight deal, thus the loser could exercise his right to an immediate rematch later this year.

Unless Fury-Usyk results in a draw or no-contest, the winner would become the sport’s first fully unified heavyweight champion of the four-belt era. If Fury wins, he would need to beat Usyk twice before securing a long-discussed, highly anticipated showdown with Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs), who will need to defeat Francis Ngannou (0-1) on March 8 to maintain his place in the Fury fight or even a third fight versus Usyk.

If Cameroon’s Ngannou upsets England’s Joshua, who has opened as a 6-1 favorite to beat the former UFC heavyweight champ, and Fury defeats Usyk, a Fury-Ngannou rematch obviously would become the once-unforeseen fight to make for the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC and WBO titles. Ngannou stunningly pushed Fury in his professional boxing debut, during which he floored Fury with a left hook late in the third round, yet lost a 10-round split decision October 28 at Kingdom Arena.

Alalshikh offered his perspective on those potential heavyweight fights during a wide-ranging interview with DAZN’s Ade Oladipo, which was posted to the streaming service’s website and social media platforms Wednesday.

Tyson Fury

“We want to see Fury-Usyk and the result, and the rematch between Fury [and] Usyk,” Alalshikh said. “And after that, we want to see Tyson Fury against Ngannou, or the people want to see it. And we want to see, if Fury [wins], we want to see him against Joshua if Joshua [wins]. If Usyk [wins], maybe we have [a] chance to have the third fight. And even if Usyk [wins], the people still want to see Tyson against Joshua. This is what we want to deliver to the market. And we close a lot of things about this.”

With strong support from Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and its crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, Alalshikh aggressively has gone about offering the type of purses required to make fights like Fury-Usyk, Fury-Ngannou, Joshua-Ngannou, Joshua-Otto Wallin, Parker-Wilder and Parker (34-3, 23 KOs) against WBO interim champ Zhilei Zhang (26-1-1, 21 KOs), the co-feature of the March 8 pay-per-view event that’ll be headlined by Joshua and Ngannou.

“We are coming with new strategy,” Alalshikh said, “and new idea and new vision … to do and deliver to the market the best [fights], with good price, and make the [fights] that people want to see. We don’t want to waste time. Tyson Fury is 35 now, around 35. Joshua is around 33, I think. Usyk [is] around 36, Wilder 38, 37. Artur [Beterbiev] now 39, next week. Why we are losing time?

“The people need to see Joshua-Fury, Fury-Joshua, need to see Joshua-Wilder. And I hope Wilder [comes] back. You know, and there is rumor, and you know it, the fight was between Joshua and Wilder [for March 8]. But you see the result and the body condition of Wilder now. It would not be reasonable to have the fight now. We want him to come back. And I see Parker, what he’s doing, amazing show, and he’s one of the best boxer [who has come back] now, this year.”

And now will he fight Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk next winter?

By
Tyson Fury And Oleksandr Usyk

JEFF POWELL: Anthony Joshua has relatively easy work ahead to return to a world title as he looks more like the old AJ… and now will he fight Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk next winter?

  • Anthony Joshua looked back to the old AJ in beating Otto Wallin on Saturday
  • 2024 could see two Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fights – before a date for AJ

Anthony Joshua rolled back the years. Deontay Wilder rolled up the carpet.

So complex are the ironies of big-time boxing that AJ – instead of pocketing one hundred million dollars from two sand-shoe shuffles with the broken Bronze Bomber – will be offered a shortcut to a third world heavyweight title.

Deep down – since he already has ten times more millions to his account than the 15 children Wilder and Tyson Fury have sired between them – this is what Joshua may prefer.

In the final reckoning legacy, respect, history and all that come down to all you put into the record books. Not how much into your bank.

If in Riyadh on Saturday night Wilder had continued proving himself the most lethal puncher since Iron Mike Tyson instead of feebly losing all 12 rounds to Kiwi Joseph Parker, then the desert sun would have risen over a very different landscape.

Now the two-fight contract with Wilder lies gathering dust in the Saudi Kingdom while Joshua contemplates the prospect of meeting one Filip Hrgovic for a vacant IBF world championship.

So contrary is this particular sanctioning body that they are expected to strip their belt from the winner of the February 17 fight between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed world heavyweight championship for which boxing has been begging the last two decades.

While those two go back to Saudi for a rematch in the summer, the IBF will insist on their mandatory challenger getting his shot.

Tyson Fury And Oleksandr Usyk

Step up Croatia’s Hrgovic, who kept his nose clean on Saturday with an instant stoppage of hapless Australian fall guy Mark De Mori. More relatively easy work for Joshua, now he has got his mojo back.

No, Otto Wallin is no longer the same Swedish basher who once gave Fury a gashed eye and a headache. But yes, Joshua did look more like the old AJ who pounded his way to Olympic gold and two world heavyweight titles.

The aggression which evaporated after he was knocked out by Mexico’s roly-poly Andy Ruiz Jr returned. As did the fluency of forward movement, the ramrod left jab, the bone-shaking rights. Most importantly of all the confidence as he bullied his way through the first four rounds before referee Steve Gray and Wallin’s corner men agreed their man had suffered punishment enough.

The trainers played significant roles in the bill-topping fights. Ben Davison coaxed Joshua out of his negative mindset and on to the front once more. Andy Lee not only brought former world champion Parker back to title contention but also into the best performance of his life.

It gives hope to us all that the likeable New Zealander benefited mentally also from sharing a few Jagermeisters as well invaluable sparring with his idol and friend Fury.

As for Wilder, after his retreat into Costa Rica’s eco jungle to sample the mystic powers of psychedelic drugs he boxed as if still in a nirvana trance.

When he raised an arm at the final bell as if expecting the gods to declare him triumphant he was still gazing at the moon. Parker won every round on one official card as well as mine and many others.

Not until the twelfth did he make any significant effort to land his right bazooka. Even then his timing was so far off that he couldn’t have punched his way out of a cobweb. Not even rust after only 50 seconds in the ring, for his last stoppage victory win since the third of his wars with Fury, can explain this away.

‘Perhaps I’ve found too much love in my life,’ Wilder muttered while hinting at retirement. That, he retracted later but whenever he returns to reality he will have to consider that at 38 he is unlikely ever to be the same deadly fighting man again. Highly unlikely, perhaps we should say. For Wilder the magic carpet ride looks to have crash-landed. For good.

With 2024 beginning to look like the last year of the Golden Oldies – with Fury and Usyk fighting each other twice and maybe the winner giving Joshua his hefty cash-out next winter – Daniel Dubois has found redemption just in time to be party to the succession.

Doubts raised about Dynamite Daniel’s stomach for the hardest game after his second taking of a knee, against Usyk, required answers.

He provided them by beating up Jarrell Miller, the man mountain almost as wide as he is tall, then stopping this belligerent and previously undefeated American brawler seconds before the end of the tenth and final round.

Criticism can sometimes be your best friend. A motivator to which a reborn Joshua and a redeemed Dubois have just borne witness.

Tyson Fury’s Undisputed Heavyweight Fight With Oleksandr Usyk Sets For February 17 In Saudi

By
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will clash in a “historic” fight for the undisputed heavyweight title in Saudi Arabia on February 17, it has been announced.

British star Fury will put his WBC belt, Lineal heavyweight belts  on the line, while the WBA, IBF and WBO titles held by Ukraine’s Usyk will be up for grabs in Riyadh.
The winner will be crowned the heavyweight division’s first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis who reigned from 1999 to 2000.
Fury, 35, and Usyk, 36, were originally expected to clash on December 23 but Fury’s poor displayed in a split-decision victory over MMA star Francis Ngannou last month forced a delay.
The pair will finally step into the ring in 2024 as Fury looks to add to his record of 34 wins with one draw since turning professional in 2008
“This is a historic event. The whole world of boxing has been waiting for many, many years, and they now have this fight,” Fury’s promoter Frank Warren told reporters at a press conference in London on Thursday.
“For the first time this century, we will have an undisputed heavyweight champion.
“As a promoter I’ve been banging my head against the wall. But now we have the creme de la creme. These two undefeated heavyweight fighters.”

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
In typically combative mood at the press conference, Fury referenced his 2015 victory over Usyk’s fellow Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, which earned him the WBA, IBF and WBO titles
“I already relieved one Ukrainian of all the belts, and now I’m going to take them all back,” Fury said.
“Usyk’s a champion, I’m a champion. It’s going to be a fight for the ages.”
Fury believes a victory over Usyk would cement his status as one of the all-time greats.
“He’s a good boxer, slick. But I’ve seen people like him before, and when they fight the big man, they lose,” he said.
“I believe we’re both destined to be here. I’m destined to become the undisputed champion, and more than that, cement my legacy.”
Usyk kept his cool amid Fury’s insults, which included taking swipes at his opponent’s height and his ear-ring.

“Yes I’m a little man. I’ll speak in the ring,” Usyk said.
Fury has held the WBC belt since he defeated Deontay Wilder in 2020 and has defended the title three times.
He stopped Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April 2022 and beat Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium eight months later.
Usyk, who has won all 21 of his fights, has been the WBA, IBF and WBO title holder since defeating Anthony Joshua in 2021.

“Of Course I’d Want to Say Yes”: Mike Tyson Explains His Reason Behind Coaching Francis Ngannou Ahead of His Tyson Fury Bout

By
MIKE TYSON

After a long months of struggling, Tyson Fury finally successfully negotiated a fight. Fury last fought against Derek Chisora back in December 2022. Since that time, he’s been on a long break, mostly because he couldn’t finalize a deal with any of the potential opponents. His deal with Oleksandr Usyk for an April fight collapsed. A similar thing happened later with Anthony Joshua as well. In the end, he shook hands with the former UFC fighter, Francis Ngannou, for a crossover boxing fight.

At first, many considered Ngannou to be an underdog and favored Fury for the fight. That was until Mike Tyson came into the picture. As per the reports, ‘Iron’ Mike agreed to train Ngannou for the fight. This created waves on the internet, and this addition turned the tables for the fight. Recently, in an interview, Mike Tyson revealed his reasons for taking up the offer to train Francis Ngannou.
The interview began with the question, what urged Mike Tyson to take up the offer to train Francis Ngannou? As the MMA fighter wanted to work with ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ for a while now, why did he take him under his wing now? Well, Mike Tyson gave a quite straightforward reply to this, as he stated that it was too much of a big event to ignore.
Tyson said, “How many times do you really get to be at an immortal event? How many in your life would you be able to do something with this magnitude? So of course I’d want to say yes to be a part of it.” However, this decision of Mike Tyson didn’t sit well with Tyson Fury, who vowed to defeat his pupil to prove his might. Even Fury’s father John Fury criticized Mike Tyson over this.
MIKE TYSON
Both fighters, Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury are just almost a week away from their bout. Recently, they had a face-off where Ngannou talked about the importance of Mike Tyson’s presence in his training camp.
In the Face-off with Carl Frampton, recalling his journey from skepticism and humble beginnings, Ngannou radiated confidence. He has defied doubters throughout his career. He also refrained from predicting a knockout against Fury, recognizing his opponent’s intelligence. Later, he was asked by Frampton, whether he acknowledges the weight of Mike Tyson standing in his support for this fight.
Ngannou said, “For me, it’s very important. He has always been very important.” Ngannou also stated how he’ll go into the fight through Mike Tyson’s point of view and emulate his style. He added, “ I’m the smallest guy inside, which is not something that has happened very often. So, I know that I need some techniques from somebody that has been in the smallest size and nobody better than Mike Tyson.”
It’s going to be one of the biggest crossover events in the history of combat sports, being held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Who are you supporting in this matchup? Let us know in the comments section.

Tyson Fury Eyeing New 10-Fight Contract: ‘This Makes Me F–king Happy Fighting’

By
tyson fury

British fighter Tyson Fury has no intention of calling it a career any time soon.

The 35-year-old has two fights remaining on his current deal with Top Rank, said that he fully plans to continue after the deal expires because of his love for the sport.

NEWS:-Ngannou fails to impress and Mike Tyson is thought to have more of a chance against Tyson Fury

Fury discussed potentially signing a new contract, per Mike Coppinger of ESPN.com:

“I’m looking to sign another 10-fight deal after this, so I don’t know, I’m going to put my feelers out there and see who I can get the best deal off for another 10 fights. What else is there? I retire, plenty of money, plenty of achievement, whatever — 35 [years old]. What am I going to do? … This makes me f—ing happy fighting. This is all I’ve ever done and all that’s ever made me happy. So it’d be stupid now to walk away from it when I’m making millions of dollars and getting loads of joy from it as well.”

Fury is 33-0-1 with one draw against Deontay Wilder early in his career. He has held multiple belts and believes that his presence in the sport makes it better.

Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou

 

 

“I’ve been boxing 15 years as a pro,” Fury said, per Coppinger. “I’m going to be prone to injuries, you know, elbows, knees, shoulders, ankles, everything that can go wrong on somebody usually at our age now that goes wrong. Boxing is definitely more entertaining when I’m in it I’ll say boxing will be f–ked when I’m gone.”

Fury is set to take on UFC fighter Francis Ngannou on Oct. 28, with an undisputed heavyweight championship fight with Oleksandr Usyk following after that.

The fight against Usyk is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and a two-way rematch clause means that that bout will likely have a part two. Regardless of the outcomes, it appears that Fury has plenty left in the tank.
