Not everyone likes the last choice Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). One of these critics is Fraser Clark (7-0, 5 KOs), Olympic heavyweight medalist and new prospect in the land of the giants.

On October 28, the WBC heavyweight champion will face Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia. This will be the debut of the Cameroonian athlete in boxing.

“Honestly, this fight doesn’t interest me in any way. It's just a show that will bring financial success to either side, but I'd rather watch a fight for the world heavyweight title. I understand that this is big and relatively easy money for Fury, but this is slowly turning into a circus. Tyson begins to choose with whom, when and for how long he will fight, which is why people are slowly losing interest in him, looking for other options and fighters. Fury himself is forcing them, ”the Briton is convinced.

“This is partly the fault of the WBC. They should think about what is good for the sport. It's not good that their champion is fighting an MMA guy while the top 15 fighters are waiting for their chance but not getting it. Not all of them can be excellent rivals, but this is what ratings are for. Right now it's like Fury has the WBC by the balls and he's in charge," Clarke added.
