Bear Hugger Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Tony Bellew tells talkSPORT: Tyson Fury is scared to fight me - I punch harder than him. Tony Bellew believes Tyson Fury of wary of facing him in the ring so early into his comeback, telling talkSPORT: ‘All he has over me is size’. Fury is currently preparing for his first fight in over two years on June 9, where he will face Sefer Seferi – the 39-year-old Albanian whose last two bouts have been at cruiserweight. Bellew had called out Fury for a potential all-British battle after beating David Haye for the second time in May, but the former heavyweight champion ruled out meeting the Liverpudlian in the ring, saying last week: ‘It would be like putting a pit bull against jack russell’.

The_budweiser Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him Looks like he doesn't want to retire. One last big pay day before he hangs his gloves up. I think this is an interesting fight if it happens. Bellew has a lot of heart and isn't a bad boxer, but surely Fury would be too big for Bellew?

LondonRingRules Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him --- Fury a much bigger payday than the hometown officiating of Son of Gollum Ward. Plus the prefight Spector of Bellew painting Fury as a broken man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him To my utter amazement, I'd actually like to see this fight. Given Fury's lack of power, and Bellew's very decent ring generalship, I give Bellew a 50/50 chance. Of course, he'll probably get paid to lay down, (just like Wlad, only without the promise of a lucrative trilogy :whistle: ) but one can dream ....

Bear Hugger Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him Bellew is wanting Fury before he has chance to shake the ring rust. Once Fury has 3 or 4 fights under his belt, Bellew wont want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him Bellew certainly knows how to drum up publicity. Not sure who he fights if this doesn't happen. Bellew doesn't seem to mention Usyk or Gassiev much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still hits harder than Bellew. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoztheMadman Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him So does David Haye. :whistle: But how old is Haye. ;-) And how wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him So does David Haye. :whistle: Looking at the two fights you'd think Bellew was the big puncher with all the knockdowns. I actually want to see Bellew-Fury, just to see how Bellew can handle Fury's size and style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Re: Tony Bellew says Tyson Fury is scared to fight him But how old is Haye. ;-) And how wasted. True, but my point is that Bellew has gotten where he is right now, to a very large extent because of his underrated defense. Fury's size may enable him to bully Bellew around the ring, maybe, but he certainly does NOT have the skills to win a clean UD. If it becomes a wrestling mach, Fury can't lose. If the ref keeps it a boxing match, Bellew has the advantage, IMO. The thought of Tony Bellew being taken seriously has a HW really bugs me, and the thought of Tyson Fury being taken seriously at ALL makes me near insane, but I still really wanna' see this fight! :haha: Edited May 28, 2018 by Cableaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he's VERY skilled but he showed against Wladimir and a few others he can put his punches together well, esp for his size, and land cleanly. If he can do that to Bellew, he will stop him, 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
