Tyson Fury has the biggest fight of his career coming up in a matter of weeks.
On December 21st he will rematch Oleksandr Usyk and attempt to reverse the only loss on his career. The first fight for undisputed was a close contest that saw Usyk win it on the cards by the odd round.
Fury has vowed to get revenge and had previously said he would then go after Daniel Dubois to re-unify all four belts given that Dubois holds the IBF after being elevated to full champion once Usyk vacated soon after the undisputed fight back in May.
‘DDD’ has since defended it in impressive fashion against Anthony Joshua with a fifth-round knockout win.
Speaking to iFL TV, Fury reflected on his relationship with the IBF, which included a very brief time being their champion in 2015 after he defeated Wladimir Klitschko before he was later stripped.
“I’m very disappointed in them. They’ve had hundreds of thousands of dollars off me for my last fight, alright, the guy won it by a round, cat’s whisker in it. Why am I not rated in their Top 15? Have they got something against me, and if so, what is it?”
He then made it clear he’s happy to face Dubois – but not for the IBF belt.
“I’ll beat Daniel Dubois.
But I’ll tell you what it is, I won’t be boxing him for his belt. I’d rather box him for the British title than for the IBF. I don’t want anything to do with it, You couldn’t give me it as a present, that’s what it means to me. They’re a biased company who don’t like ‘The Gypsy King.'”
Dubois could still take on Joshua in a rematch next, though his promoter Frank Warren has said if ‘AJ’ is not ready by February he will fight whoever is next in line, which is unlikely to be the winner of Fury’s rematch with Usyk in December given the timescale.
