John Fury calls out Mike Tyson on Mega Fight in Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou undercard

Crossing Boundaries

John Fury, father of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has shocked the boxing world by calling out the legendary Mike Tyson for a potential showdown on the undercard of his son's upcoming fight against Francis Ngannou.

A Surprising Twist

Despite their close relationship, with John even naming his eldest son after the former undisputed heavyweight champion, Fury is eager to share the ring with Iron Mike.

The Greatest of All Time

John Fury holds Mike Tyson in high regard and still sees him as the greatest heavyweight of all time, even as Tyson trains Ngannou to defeat his son in October.

A Challenge Issued

In a recent interview, the 59-year-old expressed his desire to fight Tyson, stating, "Why wouldn't I not speak to Mike Tyson? I love the guy, I named my son after him. And if he wants to fight me on the undercard he can, no problem."

A Fighter at Heart

Despite his age, the outspoken trainer is ready for the challenge, saying, "I'm a fighting man. I'm old but I'm a fighting man. He's a fighting man. He's old. We're two geriatrics. If he wants to fight me and I want to fight him, which I do, I've made it quite clear, we can do it."

Putting on a Show

John Fury is determined to entertain the fans and bring smiles to their faces, even if he's been knocked out before, stating, "As long as we can entertain the paying public and put smiles on their faces, that'll do me."

A Ringside Seat

If the fight with Mike Tyson doesn't materialize, John Fury will still be at ringside for his son's showdown with Francis Ngannou, willing to go to great lengths to be there, stating, "Let me tell you, I'll swim there. If there are no planes available I'll swim, and I can't swim. I'll get two armbands and I'll set off today. I'll be in Saudi, don't worry about that."

A Highly Anticipated Matchup

Tyson Fury's fight against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is set for October 28 and will be Ngannou's first professional boxing bout since his dominant victory over Derek Chisora last December.
