He hasn’t bought for two years.
He’S only got one fight left on his contract, so this is his last hurrah give me one more payday and i’ll move into politics.
He asks he’s very good.
Technically he’s got that typical mexican american style.
He likes to fight meaning he’s more of a boxer, but he doesn’t shy away from a fight.
I know he’s a nice guy but for some reason there’s a bit of a needle there.
I boxed sam eggington in march 2019 and eddie mentioned jesse’s name in the ring, and i thought yeah you promote him.
I like that we jumped in we see, which is cool.
That was two years ago and he could have fought me in those two years.
I met jesse at madison square garden at the auntie joshua versus andy ruiz fight when callum was on the card and we shook hands on the fight, so it did just had a bit not because he was chasing him.
Uh he’s a big money fighter world-class fighter.
I was after him because neither of us were going to get a title shot and it’s a very good fight.
When i look at the landscape of the 154 pound division, i believe i can be world champion again.
If i didn’t, i would retire because i’m happy i’ve got two lovely daughters.
I’Ve ruled the world, so i could retire a happy man.
People would bite your hand off for the career i’ve had, but i’m realistic when i look at the champions and contenders and think i can beat him and him and him so i’m not done yet, but i still have that fire in me he’s only lost in Manny pacquiao timothy bradley, mike garcia and soon to liam smith, we’re in boxing to be in good fights and he’s one that i want to get rid of fair enough.

It’S gon na be an absolutely fantastic card: lots of entertainment there at madison square gardens.
I just want to end today’s episode with a quick little story uh by charles brown uh, who is quoting ricky hatton, who says tyson fury won’t retire until he fights alexander yousseg and anthony joshua, because those are two boxers that he needs to check before he walks Away two boxes that he needs to check before he walks away.
As far as hatton is concerned, he doesn’t believe anything the wbc heavyweight, champ, fury, says: hatton has noticed how fury fluctuate and has already disappeared once and returned fury is making more out of his win over dillian white than the average fan after his six-round knockout at Wembley stadium in london, the way fury has been bragging about this accomplishment.
You would think he’d just beaten the number one guy in the division instead of a guy knocked out in five rounds by 40 year old alexander povetkin, back in 2020.
Free might actually go ahead of with his promise of retiring, because he’s made a lot of money and he sounds like he’s worried about losing in the last four years.
He has selected his opponents well finding guys he knew he could beat in deontay wilder odd wallen, white, sephora, safari, francisco pianeta and tom schwartz, his fury afraid of losing i’d, say that’s a big.
Yes, you can argue that fury is so fearful of losing that he’s willing to bypass the opportunity to make 60 million dollars.
U.
S funds – i love tyson, fury, said hatton, but it’s very very hard to believe a single word that comes out of his mouth, and i say that with love.
You have to keep setting yourself goals, there’s anthony joshua and alexander tyson youssef, pretty he’s number one, but everyone’s saying who’d win out of the three of them.
I don’t think tyson will want to retire until he takes both them boxes and finds out tyson get it done now.
I’D rather him not be sat on the set in three years saying i want to fight them now said hatton i’ll still be training every day.
I’M going to stay in shape, enjoy my life and be a normal person said tyson fury to top-ranked boxing when asked what he’ll do with his life now he’s retiring, i’m not some big time celebrity, i’m not interested.
What i will tell you you’ll see me in, and that’s entertainment you’re going to see me in exhibition fights, maybe francis nego next and maybe another stint in wwe.
Definitely another book.
I’Ve got another book coming out and maybe another tv show i’ll keep entertaining you, but not inside the paid squared circle as a professional boxer.
But there will be many more entertaining nights back here in the uk, a big shout out to espn and softbank over there.
In the us as well, they made it happen.
I went over to america fought the best over.
There earned my reputation as a folk hero and returned home after a long voyage away and got a superstar welcome.
Without the american journey, kraken america, it would have never happened, said fury and there you go sports fans.
