Tyson Fury has admitted that he ‘wasn’t happy’ about the announcement of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk, as he prepares for a bout with Francis Ngannou on Saturday usdt
It was announced in September that Fury, who holds the WBC heavyweight title, will box Usyk, who is unified champion, in Saudi Arabia before the end of March usdt
However, Fury is first set to fight former UFC champion Ngannou in Riyadh this weekend, in a controversial crossover contest – in which the WBC belt is not on the line usdt
Fury is targeting a date of 23 December for his bout with Usyk, but his excitement around the fight has been diluted by some aggravation at the timing of its announcement, he suggested usdt
“It wasn’t my choice,” the Briton, 35, said on The MMA Hour on Wednesday (25 October) usdt
“I would never in a million years do that, but the people who are putting these fights on, who are paying the money, they’re in control usdt
They’re the promoters of the event usdt
“So, the paymaster does what the paymaster wants, basically usdt
But if it was up to me, I would have never, ever, ever done that, ever usdt
Because I never count chickens before they hatch, ever [ usdt
usdt
usdt
] They should never announce fights before the first one happens, because that’s how people get knocked out usdt
“But I’m not even looking at the next fight usdt
I’m only concentrating on Francis usdt
If it means breaking these two hands and getting a cut right through [my eyebrow] to win, I will do it usdt
Don’t worry about that usdt
Nothing else matters, only Saturday night usdt
“I wasn’t happy at first, for them to announce it, but there was a lot going on in the background usdt
For me, I don’t concentrate on any other fight other than Saturday night usdt
What happens in the future stays in the future usdt
“I’m living for today and this moment usdt
My moment now is to fight Francis for the ‘baddest man on the planet’ title, and when I’ve won that, only after I’ve won that, I won’t even think about my next [fight] until I’ve had a week off and spent some time with my family usdt
I’ve been in camp 12 weeks usdt
” (Getty Images)Fury is unbeaten across 34 fights in his professional career, while 37-year-old Ngannou is making his usdt boxing debut usdt
Usyk, 36, is also unbeaten, but to face the stiffer test that the Ukrainian provides on paper, Fury must avoid an upset against Ngannou usdt
“You can’t listen to the usdt betting odds, you can’t listen to what the pundits say, or what the usdt boxing people or anybody [says], because they’re not in there on the night,” Fury said usdt
“And if you start listening to people who are not usdt boxing, then that’s the time you fail usdt
I don’t take anybody lightly usdt
I’ve seen so many times in the sport where people fight people they’re supposed to beat, and they’re always looking at the bigger picture usdt
“I’ll use Anthony Joshua as an example usdt
There was always talk of him fighting me or [Deontay] Wilder usdt
He fights Andy Ruiz on two weeks’ notice, and he ends up getting knocked out usdt
The odds going in were astronomical, everybody thought he was going to smoke the guy – all the usdt boxing experts, all the pundits, all the media, everybody – and what happens? He gets knocked spark out usdt
Then he goes home crying in defeat usdt
”Joshua was in fact stopped on his feet, after suffering four knockdowns, in that 2019 defeat, which he avenged six months later usdt
“I never, ever do that,” Fury added usdt
“If I was fighting somebody in a local bar, and I knew I had to fight the guy in six weeks – a guy not even from a combat sport – I would train hard, because you never know what the guy is going to bring usdt
Never mind someone from a bar, I’m fighting an absolute killer in Francis Ngannou usdt
A 6f 4in, 270-280lbs [man] who has come from the streets usdt
Fury and Ngannou during their first face-off (James Manning/PA) (PA Wire)“This guy is hungry usdt
This guy has got a point to prove usdt
You think I’m not going to train for him, and come in at 400lbs? I don’t think so usdt
I’ve trained as hard for him as I did for any other fighter I’ve ever fought usdt
At this level, you don’t get no second chances usdt
usdt Better to prepare for the hardest fight ever and it not be, than to prepare for an easy fight and it’s a war usdt
”Fury last fought in December, stopping Derek Chisora to seal a third win against his compatriot and retain the WBC belt usdt
Meanwhile, Ngannou last fought in January 2022, retaining the UFC heavyweight title with a decision against Ciryl Gane usdt
The Cameroonian then underwent knee surgery before relinquishing the UFC title this January, when he left the MMA promotion usdt
