Tyson Fury, the WBC world heavyweight champion, responded to Alexander Usik’s manager Egis Klimas, who accused him of cowardice after Tyson pulled out of the fight against Usik due to a cut.
“Don’t ever call me a coward again. I have had 35 professional fights and boxed for 18 years of my life. I got off the canvas 10 times against some of the greatest punchers in history to win. I was never a coward. I have never retreated in my life. And if anyone insults my wife, I’ll rip his damn teeth out. How can you call me a coward? You've never boxed in your life. I’ve had 35 professional fights and am a two-time undefeated heavyweight champion.”
