Tyson Fury addressed his ongoing feud with Tony ‘Bomber’ Bellew; responding to his appearance on ‘Soccer AM’ where Bellew made known his disdain for Fury. Bellew also shared he’d be very interested in a match-up with the former unified heavyweight kingpin.
Talking exclusively to iFL.tv, Fury said: “This is a special message to Tony Bellew. I saw your stuff on Soccer AM, the Flatley messages and all that.”
“The thing is, I am the real heavyweight champion and you are a blown-up light-heavyweight, cruiserweight bum.”
“If you do ever get the nuts to sign the contract and this fight does happen. I will destroy you! I will dismantle you, I will dissect you like an insect. (I’ll) smash you to pieces without no hesitation.”
“So sign the contract and let’s get the fight on;” Fury added.
What round do I ko @TonyBellew

Furthermore, Fury has been out of the ring for exactly two full years today, with his victory against then reigning Lineal, unified heavyweight champion in Wladimir Klitschko coming on November 28th, 2015.
Since that fight, we’ve seen Fury endure a torrid time with the British Boxing Board of Control. After testing positive for benzoylecgonine, a central component in cocaine; Fury had his boxing license suspended resulting in a UKAD trial which still remains unresolved, today.
Responding to the question, how can he be compensated after losing supposedly two years of the peak of his career.
Fury replied, ” They got to have a big chequebook and they have to write it out generously.”

“Look how many fights I’ve missed, through these false accusations.” Fury also shared that the truth to the situation will prevail eventually. “The truth will come out sooner or later and when they set me free.”
Fury also touched on similarities between his current situation and the three-year hiatus of former world heavyweight champion, Muhammad Ali. Ali objected to being drafted into US army on religious grounds and this resulted in him being stripped of his heavyweight title and denied a licence to box.
“This is like a Muhammad Ali story, they clipped his wings for three and a half years and they’re doing the same to me.”
“They’re doing the same to me, in an attempt to rid me out of the sport and run me out. But I am sticking my heels in the mud.”
Fury also shared he was very confident that he will indeed win this case and have his boxing licence reinstated.
On the other hand, Fury did share some uncertainty over the case’s recommencement on December 11th. “I don’t know what is going on with it all, they won’t tell the lawyers nothing and they’re keeping everything close to themselves.”
Tyson then stared directly into the camera and directed a message toward the BBBoC. “Make the decision, prove me innocent! Give me my life back that you have destroyed.” Fury then shared the statement, “totally, totally innocent;” on a final note.
