WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury gave his impression of Anthony Joshua on today’s edition of This Morning. “I’ve already been the undisputed heavyweight champion when I beat Klitschko,” said Fury. “As far as I’m concerned, Anthony Joshua’s only got my leftovers. They’re my belts. How can you claim to be a champion when you haven’t beat the champion?”

I don’t think Kovalev’s got anything left to improve. He’s had a good career and hasn’t really taken a lot of punishment.
By the way, Gotta love what Tyson Fury has to say LOL
Kovalev has to pay some legal bills coming up for assault charge and DUI. He needs a check for those lawyer fees (snicker).
Tyson Fury IS boxing. Canello is a huge star & a serious belt collector but he can’t speak English. It matters. Ffs Fury is a WWE draw. He is a massive star & a household name. Totally right about AJ. Martin, an already battered Klitschko & Parker were interesting matches but nobody really cared.
Texeira – Castano should be good stuff!
180lbs. 1st sign of kovalez content with going a little easier in training.
I like what Fury says in this interview. If he retires after two more fights (I doubt it), winning both, the money he might have at that point should be enough to have a comfortable life. The third fight with Wilder is a 60-40 split on his favor, and assuming he will defeat him again and Joshua would do the same against Pulev; if the fight against Joshua is made, the purse should be the biggest any heavyweight has earned to date.
He looks good, my best wishes he stay like that and enjoy his succes
Sullivan Barrera will end Kovalev’s boxing career. Barrera is all wrong for Kovalev, even though he is 38 and 1-2 on his last three fights, he is not a beat up 2-2 36 as Kovalev is. I hope not, but I am envisioning a steady beatdown that will end before the 10th.
Patrick Texeira is not an easy fighter, maybe not better than Erislandy Lara, but fresher.Despite his size advantage and well educated skills, the lack of intimidante punching power will play a heavy role against him when facing Brian Castaño, who is, as Adames, a pressure fighter, but more determined, more resilient. If Texeira had problems with Adames, with Castaño he might have to surrender the belt by late stoppage or UD.
Fury is always lying to his fans and his haters alike. He can not possibly be called a lineal champ, because he was about to be stripped for failing a drugs test…..and for never defending his title
Kovalev fight – catch weight? Really? Why it just go up to cruiserweight?
Tyson Fury – if they are your belts, go get them. Mop the floor with this guy.
