WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is promising something big in the near future.
The ‘Gypsy King’ has been inactive since battering Derek Chisora in their December trilogy fight.
Fury tried to secure several possible opponents, but all of them fell through for one reason or another.
“The WBC heavyweight king can’t wait till my next fight. I’ve been training daily from Christmas trying to get a fight. Tried many fighters and have had no luck but that won’t keep me down. I’m blessed every day I wake up! I know God loves me and everything will work out the way it should as it always does. Can’t wait for you all to see what I’ve got coming for you guys, it’s show-stopping,” Fury stated on social media.
Earlier in the year, Fury tried to finalize an undisputed fight with WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk. The two sides were unable to agree on the financial details of the rematch clause.
“I would love to fight Usyk for the undisputed titles. But at the minute Usyk is running like a cheater, he is running so fast, he can’t get away from me quick enough. The only reason this fight hasn’t happened is Usyk wants more bags, he wants more money,” Fury said on Foxify Trade Twitter Spaces.
“So, I don’t blame him for that because at the end of the day it’s a short career and it’s a business. So, it’s not a personal thing of ‘I hate Usyk’ or ‘oh my god Usyk didn’t fight me’, for whatever reasons. This is strictly business. Usyk is waiting for the big money, the £100million he’s going to get from the Saudis for a fight in November or whenever it’s going to happen.
“So, I can’t hold it against him. I know he’s a family man and he’s got mouths to feed, so I wish him luck, it’s not personal, it’s a sport for one and a business for two. But, when we do finally meet, I’m going to annihilate him, that’s a fact.”
