Tyson Fury’s anticipated comeback announcement has got the boxing world talking.
The former heavyweight king announced his return to boxing this Thursday with intentions of dethroning the current unified champion Anthony Joshua and taking back all the belts that he once owned.
Fury promised that he would knock Joshua out should they eventually meet.
“I’d outbox him for a few rounds then I’d knock out him out,” stated Fury.
He also called Joshua his ‘belt carrier.’
“Joshua is a big old dosser, a belt carrier for me and it will be an easy fight, no contest,” he said.
One man who certainly has something say about Fury’s comeback is David Haye.
Fury and ‘The Hayemaker’ were schedulled to fight back in 2013 and 2014, but Haye had to pull out on both occasions due to injuries.
“Tyson Fury needs to get into the ring before he talks about fighting anyone,” said Haye in an interview with Sky Sports.
Haye states that he can’t put Fury ‘into the mix’ before his comeback fight.
“He needs to physically prove it, and he hasn’t done that yet. I don’t put him into the mix until he has a fight,” Haye continued.
Tony Bellew, another man linked to fighting Fury, also spoke his mind about the Mancunian’s comeback. ‘The Bomber’ believes Fury’s long layoff from boxing may have caused problems that ‘will come back to haunt Fury.’
“I’ve said this before about David Haye – you can’t take breaks from boxing. It will come back to haunt Fury,” Bellew told also to Sky Sports.
Fury is making his long-awaited comeback on June 9 in Manchester. His opponent is yet to be announced but promoter Frank Warren confirmed that an announcement will be made in due course.
