Tyson Fury offers up new opponent for Jake Paul after Mike Tyson victory
Share:
Tyson Fury has jokingly put forward his manager to fight Jake Paul on the card of his showdown against Oleksandr Usyk this weekend. Fury is gearing up for the biggest fight of his career as he bids to avenge his defeat to Usyk last year in their rematch in Saudi Arabia and took time out from his preparations to have a video call with Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh. The latter began by asking Fury how his fight camp had been going so far before joking that Spencer Brown could even get involved in the huge card to face off against Paul following his high profile clash against Mike Tyson last month, which he won on points.
"How is everything?" Al Al-Sheikh asked the ex-WBC world champion, who replied: "Very good, training away hard. Just finishing off camp now." The boxing supremo added: "Three or four days and I will see you in Riyadh inshallah," before suggesting: "And we can have Spencer against Jake Paul also.".
Fury replied: "Yeah no problem," before relaying to someone sitting next to him - likely to be Brown himself. Brown is the founder of Goldstar Promotions, which have been looking after Fury's PR and public appearances in the last few years. The Gypsy King's manager has been an outspoken figure and provided updates on Fury's fights and what lies in store in the future after admitting he must beat Usyk this weekend if he wants to secure big fights against British rivals like Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
"I think that we need to get this one out the way," he said. "There's no collision course if he doesn't win the next fight. So it's imperative he beats Usyk. With the closeness of the fight last time, it could have gone either way. "Some people will say Usyk was three rounds in front, some people won't, it's your opinion on boxing - that's why we love it. But Tyson Fury will be back. He'll be firing and we'll see a new, better, improved Tyson Fury.
