Undefeated heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury is not impressed with UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and has challenged him to a fight.
Fury (20-0 with 14 KOs) is the current WBO Intercontinental heavyweight champion and owns British, Commonwealth and Irish heavyweight titles, and is currently seeking a fight with Vitali Klitschko. However, the Englishman says the WBC heavyweight champ, and his brother Wladimir Klitschko, are afraid to fight him. Fury recently tweeted that if the Klitschkos are not willing to fight him then he wants to fight “the MMA heavyweight champ” because “at least he is game.” Fury added that it wouldn’t last two rounds.
