John Fury, father of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, revealed that when Tyson Fury played this week, he would weigh less than he did in the three-game battle with Deonte Wilder last October. Fury will appear at Wembley Stadium on April 24, Beijing time, against "body predator" Dillian White.
Fury's last game against Wilder weighed a career-high of 277 pounds, and he weighed 39 pounds more than his opponents, so much so that Wilder was completely overwhelmed against him.
After the finalization of the battle with White, the outside world speculated that Fury used nothing more than two strategies: one was to continue the previous play with Wild, that is, to suppress the opponent with strength and physique. The second is to lose weight, restore the style of the early part of the career, and use speed and flexibility to outsmart
Fury's coach Javan Hill Stewward insisted that Fury would continue to pursue a KO opponent, that is, to stop White, but it could not be ruled out that this was a smoke bomb deliberately released by Fury's team, and it is difficult to imagine anyone who will reveal their plans early before the game.
This week, Fury looked like he weighed a lot in public training, especially his waist was bloated, but John Fury said it wasn't at all what was speculated, saying, "Tyson Fury will be lighter than the last one, and he probably weighed 263 pounds or 264 pounds on the night of the big game." ”
When asked if Tyson Fury would take a knockdown against White? John Fury declined to reveal anything, saying, "Tyson Fury worked hard in training camp and took it more seriously than anyone else. Fury has done running training, combat training, strength training, physical training, he has prepared for this race for the past 8 weeks, and believe me, this kid has a premier engine. ”
Promoter Frank Warren has said that in view of White's previous abnormal performances, in order to prevent the opponent from suddenly withdrawing from the game, a substitute opponent has been arranged for Furi. About who is this substitute opponent? Warren did not disclose that the outside world speculated that it might be Daniel Dubois, but Fury said in a recent interview that the substitute opponent is not Dubois, but former world heavyweight Joseph Parker.
"We have Plan B, for a big game like this, you have to have a boxer on standby, you never know what's going to happen, sometimes the opponent can suddenly fall, fall, so someone needs to be on standby," Fury said. I can tell you that the boxer on standby is Joseph Parker, who is number three on WBC, and if White doesn't fight, I don't want a rookie tramp, I want a top five strongman, parker fits that condition. ”
Fury added: "Parker is the bench for this big fight, White is really out, I will play against Parker, it will be a wonderful game, Parker is a former world champion, he has a high rating among all boxing organizations, there will be no boxing fans complaining when choosing Parker, white this idiot quits, there will be delicious intervention, you don't have to worry. ”
Given the special circumstances between Fury and White, some people think that the two sides may have hatred because of this, but Fury said that it is not so serious at all, he said: "Listen, this is not a private, it is a strict business activity, we have agreed to the big war, let the game happen, we will go all out, do not want the big war to cause me and White to become different, I am sure that no matter who wins, we will have a beer afterwards, after all, this is a professional game, not a personal grudge." 」 ”
