Tyson Fury laughs off claims he should be STRIPPED of world title and says 'keep on hating motherf***ers' | The Sun

TYSON FURY laughed off claims he should be STRIPPED of his world title and goaded: "Keep on hating motherf***ers."

Fury has faced backlash as he prepares to announce his next fight against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou.


Deontay Wilder's coach and Oleksandr Usyk's promoter are among those to say the WBC champion should have his belt taken away from him.

But Fury seemed unremorseful as he hit back at the criticism.

He said: "Hey guys, little bit of clarification.

"I hear there’s a lot of unknown, irrelevant people talking about how I should be stripped of me belt.

"Ha ha ha! Don’t hate the player, hate the game. I don’t have a mandatory.

"When I do have a mandatory, it will be dealt with just like every other mandatory I’ve ever had. Until then, keep on hating motherf***ers!

"And enjoy the little, little, little, tiny bit of money you guys are making. All the big Gs in the house."

Fury, 34, failed in talks to fight Usyk, 36, this year in what would have been the first four-belt unification in heavyweight history.

Now Usyk defends his unified titles on August 26 against mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois, 25, in Poland.

Meanwhile Anthony Joshua, 33, returns in a rematch on August 12 against Dillian Whyte, 35.

And a super-fight with Wilder is lined up for December in Saudi Arabia, leaving Fury frozen out of the picture.

So the Gypsy King turned his attention to Ngannou, 36, with the pair set to confirm what is believed to be an exhibition bout.

Usyk's promoter Alex Krassyuk told Seconds Out: “I don’t think it should be relinquished, no.

"He can be stripped for only one reason if he does not comply with the WBC rules.According to my understanding, he does.

"At least he did, he fought [Dillian] Whyte for the mandatory, and now they have to appoint a new mandatory because a new mandatory is not appointed.

“So, he is not actually breaking any rule of the WBC, but from a sports point of view he has to be stripped because he stays inactive for so long and he’s cheating people [by] announcing fights that don’t take place.”
