Tyson Fury's brilliant interview after beating Deontay Wilder in 2020 will never get old
Tyson Fury bared all in typically raw and brutally honest interview after beating Deontay Wilder in 2020.
It’s two years to the day since Fury vs Wilder 2. The fight that saw Fury claim his first victory over the American, running him down from the get-go and winning in the seventh round by TKO.
Of course, since then he has gone on to beat Wilder once again, finally putting to bed any notion that Wilder’s punch power could be superior to Fury’s skill.
But at the time, this fight was arguably the biggest heavyweight match-up we’ve seen since the turn of the century.
It was a tremendous victory for Fury and Britain, who in typical fashion, had a brutally honest message to all his doubters in an interview he gave post-fight:
“Thirty times in a row I’ve backed it up.” Fury said.
“They look at my fat belly and bald head, and they think- you know what… he can’t fight. He can’t punch, he can’t box, he’s too clumsy. I toppled the second-longest reigning champion in history in Wladamir Klitschko, in Germany.
“Bums don’t do that. Bums don’t do that. I had my mental problems; I was out of the ring for nearly three years. But I came back. And I beat him last time on 50%.
“I said this time you’re not fighting that same old man that was out the ring for three years. You’re fighting a real Gypsy King.”
"People always write me off. They look at me fat belly and bald head and they think I can't fight!"
