"Never really been interested in it" - Tyson Fury on becoming Undisputed Heavyweight Champion
Tyson Fury has revealed his thoughts on becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world. In an interview with Gareth A. Davies, Fury spoke about if he wanted to become undisputed champion this year:
"Now I've always said, you know what my opinion is on undisputed and all of that stuff, and pound-for-pound. It's not something that I'm really interested in, but other people around me are more interested in undisputed, whatever that means, than I am. Never really been interested in it, don't think I ever will be, means nothing to me, I've won all the belts anyway."
Take a look at the interview:
He also went on to say that he believes if he can overcome Dillian Whyte, he will become the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion this year. Fury gave Whyte a lot of respect, saying he would never overlook an opponent. Fury has recently been in Dubai, enjoying some time off before his fight against Dillian Whyte. 'The Gypsy King' looks to successfully defend his WBC title against 'The Body Snatcher'.
If he is able to get past Whyte, he will challenge the winner of Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk II for all the belts in the heavyweight division. Neither of the two fights have a rematch clause in them, which means the winners of both Fury vs. Whyte and Joshua vs. Usyk II are free to fight whomever they want.
Only time will tell whether Fury will get another chance to have all the belts wrapped around his waist.
