Slimmed-down Tyson Fury claims he could ‘sink 15 pints of Peroni and weigh 25 stone’ and STILL beat Oleksandr Usyk in fight for undisputed world heavyweight title next month
Tyson Fury has insulted Oleksandr Usyk by claiming he could still beat him if he weighed 25 stone and drank 15 pints of Peroni beforehand.
The Gypsy King meets Usyk on May 18 in Riyadh as they bid to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Despite the Ukrainian holding the WBA, WBO and IBF titles, Fury doesn’t rate him that highly and thinks he has lost his shine.
Fury gloated: ‘I think if I didn’t train at all for this camp, I just come in at 25 stone and sank maybe 15 pints of Peroni beforehand, then the next day, going there, what’s he gonna do? Do you even jab me around?
‘Take nothing away from him, but he couldn’t do anything with Derek Chisora.
‘We all saw that fight and let’s not be deluded with it, it was a 50-50 fight, it could have gone either way!
‘So not unless he’s come on at 38, 39 years old in the last two years leaps and bounds. This guy’s gonna do me in a round? I don’t think so.
‘If I’m going in for a real ding-dong, I’ll need at least 15 pints of Peroni. At least!’
