John Fury ready to fight Mike Tyson, says 'I will die in a fight'

Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury recently called out world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson for a boxing match. The video shared on an Instagram page Manchester Fight Club was initially addressed to Mick Theo, however, John’s attention quickly turned to former undisputed heavyweight champion.

While addressing Theo, who is bodybuilder, John said, “Forget you, I’m looking at Mike Tyson”. He added, “Mike’s making a come back. I don't value my life at 50p but let me tell you something, Mike Tyson is worth doing charity with”. John also called Tyson a ‘proper king of a champion’ and said, “He is a proper man tried and tested, not some doorman who I used to practice on as a 14-year-old boy. If I didn't knock out four or five a night when I was 15, I was disappointed”. 

Furthermore, John added, “I'll fight Mike Tyson, he's making a comeback. I know he mentions my boy's name every five minutes, but here I am, John Fury is hiding from no man, not even the king of the old men, Mike Tyson. I will fight Mike Tyson. I will not be denied, I will die in a fight”.
