By Charles Brun: Tyson Fury says his objectives transferring ahead are to face Francis Ngannou & Jon Jones within the cage after his boxing match with the 37-year-old ex-UFC champ on October twenty eighth and to make some huge cash to prime the Forbes checklist for the best-paid athlete of the yr.
If Fury is critical about his plans of getting in a special path from boxing to generate income preventing Jones & Ngannou within the octagon, absolutely the WBC should strip him of his heavyweight title with their group and permit the highest two highest-ranked contenders, Deontay Wilder & Anthony Joshua to battle for the belt.
Fury’s plans imply that the undisputed conflict between Tyson and Oleksandr Usyk that Prime Rank promoter Bob Arum has been speaking about taking place presumably this yr in December is a bunch of sizzling air.
Speaking up the Fury-Usyk struggle is a wonderful approach of making curiosity within the Fury vs. Ngannou occasion on October twenty eighth to extend the pay-per-view buys.
“I’ve received new objectives. I wish to prime the Forbes checklist for the highest-paid athlete for the yr, and I wish to make a Hollywood film. I’ve accomplished the sport within the ring; it’s accomplished. I’ve accomplished every part there’s to do and received each belt there’s to win,” stated to Queensberry.
It’s exhausting to think about anybody eager to pay to see Fury struggle Ngannou within the ring or a cage, because it’s exhibition/celebrity-level preventing and never actual competitors. Ngannou, who’s getting fairly previous, nearing 38, needs to be preventing Sergei Pavlovich or Jon Jones quite than Fury within the cage as a result of it’s not even a good struggle.
If naive boxing followers consider there’s an opportunity that Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) will probably be preventing IBF, WBA & WBO champion Usyk subsequent, they’ll be extra desirous about paying to look at him struggle Ngannou in a mismatch.
The Saudis are paying Fury a floating barge filled with dough for his crossover struggle towards the 6’4″ Ngannou, who has by no means boxed earlier than and sure by no means will if he loses. Why would he? He’s going to make a ton of cash from the struggle.
The Saudis will seemingly be those that pay Fury for his cage matches with Jon Jones & Ngannou. It’ll be fascinating if the Saudis proceed doing these sorts of occasions sooner or later, throwing cash at non-MMA athletes to participate in cage matches.
Charles Brun can’t image how Fury would get a chance to be in a Hollywood film. Producers have to promote films through the use of skilled actors with charisma which might be simple to grasp.
