The reigning WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury, in a recent video clip implied that Oleksandr Usyk is taking PEDs. However, he has never failed a drugs test. It is also to be noted that Fury had himself tested positive for anabolic steroid Nandrolone in 2015 and cocaine in 2016.
Tyson Fury is planning for an in-ring return
‘The Gypsy King’ is seemingly contemplating to return to the ring in the month of December. There were negotiations to make a voluntary defense against domestic rival Anthony Joshua – but their discussions recently fell apart.
The fight was being targeted for December 3 in Cardiff – and Fury still intends to stay busy on that date.
Several outlets in the UK have named division veteran Derek Chisora as the potential opponent. It has been noted that Fury holds two wins over Chisora – with a dominant decision win in 2011 and a lopsided stoppage in 2014.
According to Fury, an announcement regarding his upcoming fight is coming down in the next few days.
“I don’t think anything has been signed yet but we’re about to announce next week. There will be an announcement next week of an opponent. I think we have four or five different guys who are in the hat, in the running right now, and one will be selected next week and then it will be on like Donkey Kong on December 3,” Fury told Seconds Out.
“It’s like eeny, meeny, miny, moe, whichever one of these guys I want to make a millionaire. Because that’s what we’re dealing with, whichever one I want to give the lottery ticket to basically.”
Fury did not rule out the possibility of facing Chisora next and he believes his countryman – coming off a decision win over Kubrat Pulev – is a credible opponent if selected:
“In my opinion, Chisora at least got a draw with Usyk. So I see Chisora every bit as dangerous as Usyk – if it is Chisora [that I fight]. Did you watch that fight? It was a very good fight, very close, and I thought Chisora deserved the draw minimum,” Fury said.
“I think Usyk’s manager had it as a draw as well, if I remember rightly. So Chisora is no pushover. If it is Chisora, he’s no pushover and if you’re not on you’re A game Derek will beat you to f—.”
