“Stipe said he wants to box with me. That would be a good fight, for sure. After I get (Deontay) Wilder (boxing) out of the way, I'll face Stipe in a boxing match if he wants. It would be a great mix, like (Floyd Mayweather and (Conor) McGregor,” Tyson said.

The athlete is keen to make clear his desire to face Deontay Wilder, current world champion with the WBC (World Boxing Champions), again. The two faced each other in December last year and had one of the most exciting duels in recent years. At the time, the fight ended in a draw and Wilder retained his title.

One of the highlights of the fight was when Deontay landed a strong blow on Fury's face, who practically fell unconscious, but, with just a few seconds remaining until the end of the referee's count, he managed to get up and continued in the battle, putting Wilder in a lot of danger in the fight. sequence.

It now remains for Miocic's imbroglio with Ultimate to be resolved. The company wishes to hold a third fight between the current heavyweight champion (up to 120,2kg) against Daniel Cormier. The confrontation would be the final reckoning between the combatants. Stipe, however, has remained evasive regarding confirmation of interest in exchanging forces with DC.

While the situation is not resolved, Fury continues to wait and hope to make his debut in mixed martial arts, a wish he wants to fulfill this year, according to the fighter.

“I'm open to fighting. Then he must come to me. I would do the same to him as I did to the others who faced me. They were all crushed”, concluded the giant.

At 31 years old, Tyson has already made 30 appearances since he debuted in professional boxing. The athlete won on 29 occasions and was never beaten. The only time he was unsuccessful in his challenge was precisely in the draw against Wilder.
