“Don’t Blame Tyson Fury.” WBC Head Says Heavyweight Titlist Is Not Responsible For Big Fights Falling Through

As he prepares to tackle former UFC nice Francis Ngannou in what’s going to little doubt be a extremely profitable novelty battle, WBC and lineal heavyweight champion of the world Tyson Fury is getting a bit assist from a pal…Mauricio Sulaiman. The WBC boss isn’t serving to Fury put together for Ngannou. Rather, he’s serving to the towering Englishman fend off some critical accusations. Fury was not too long ago in negotiations to battle each WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titlist Oleksandr Usyk, in addition to former titlist Anthony Joshua. Yet every battle, for no matter motive, fell by means of. The undefeated Fury has subsequently been the goal of a lot criticism for not going through prime competitors.

‘He is not fighting Oleksandr Usyk because he was not ready last December. Then they couldn’t do it in March after which they went their separate methods,” Suleiman stated to Gambling.com, by way of the Daily Mail. “Anthony Joshua – the same thing, so don’t blame Tyson Fury. He has been there and been there ready.” With that being stated, Sulaiman indicated he was fairly enthusiastic about Fury’s upcoming battle with Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.

‘I love the event,” he said. “Those crossover events are giving the sport respect and doing it within the rules of boxing. Conor McGregor against Floyd Mayweather was a huge event and so will this (be). We are fine, respectful, and supporting our champion.” But couldn’t Fury face a compulsory contender as a substitute of a boxing novice? “If you force the mandatory just for the sake of it,” stated Sulaiman, “you are doing a disservice to the sport. We will not be rushing up a mandatory contender.” 

Besides, Sulaiman argued, there’s no obligatory for Fury to face anyway. ‘We had ordered Wilder vs Ruiz and the winner would have been a sensational mandatory contender and that fight did not take place,” he said. “They are not participating in it so there is no mandatory contender. Fury is the best heavyweight without a doubt.” Again, Sulaiman wants it known that Fury longs for big fights. It’s simply Fury hasn’t been allowed to land one these days. So says Sulaiman.

“Tyson Fury is the WBC heavyweight champion,” Sulaiman stated. “He has been willing, able, and trying to fight Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz Jr or anyone and has not been able to land the fight that the fans would like to see.” Fury and Ngannou might be squaring off on October twenty eighth in Riyadh.
