Legends in boxing simply find new fights to fight; they never truly retire. Imagine Mike Tyson making a challenge known to the public. not for himself, though. This time, John Fury is the target and it’s for his pal. Yes, the same John who dared to criticize Tyson before. The turn of events? Because of his past, Tyson is unable to witness it in England.
What makes a former heavyweight champion want to use a friend as a middleman to settle scores? Furthermore, why include Russell Crowe in this? Above all, is Fury going to accept this challenge?
Mike Tyson states his position clearly, his tone a mix of challenge and seriousness. Tyson highlights the mounting tension by saying, “John Fury, you got my friend Joe Egan really mad at you saying you wanted to fight me.” “And he also told me that you told Russell Crowe that he was a fraud,” he continues, adding a memorable twist. As Tyson discloses, “So, Joe Egan is looking for John Fury, okay?” the suspense grows.
Despite the demand for a fight, Tyson is confronted with a legal obstacle: “And if I am able to see that fight, I hope it’s not in England because I can’t go to England because I am a felon.” But he’s clearly determined to get what he wants: “But he’s coming for you, John Fury, for my honor.”
After a break, Joe Egan enters the ring with the intention of making a return. The situation is further agitated when Egan targets John Fury, having earlier stated that he is prepared for “one last hurrah.” The fact that Egan chose to come out of retirement and take Fury on head-on highlights how bad the situation is.
But what was said by Egan? And what was Fury’s reaction to it?
Joe Egan sparked the discussion with a forceful declaration. “Hi to all of you. I have one more thing left in me. According to The Sun, Egan said, “I haven’t fought in over 20 years,” laying the stage for a titanic battle. He acknowledged their common fighting spirit and directly challenged John Fury.
“I think the two of us would have a great boxing match. John Fury is my friend and he is a good fighting man, same as myself,” Egan said, picturing a huge show in Saudi Arabia.
“Let’s demonstrate the abilities of two elderly warriors to the Saudi royals and YouTubers over in Saudi Arabia.” John Fury, on the other hand, responded in a contemptuous manner, saying, “Not interested in talking about those people.” Please let’s move forward. A curt response that did nothing but fan the flames of curiosity.
