WBC, WBO and IBF champion of Russia in the light heavyweight category (up to 79.4 kg) Artur Beterbiev in an interview with , he said he would have a chance of success in a possible fight with the British boxer Tyson Fury .
Fury currently holds the WBC heavyweight belt. The Briton, measuring 206 cm and weighing 126 kg, is one of the greatest champions in the history of the heavyweight division. On February 17, Fury will box for the outright world title against Oleksandr Usyk.
— Have you ever imagined yourself in a fight against heavyweight Tyson Fury? Have you ever wondered how your fight would have ended?
– I never thought about it, I don’t think about boxing at all, I don’t imagine how I would box with one, how I would fight with another.
—Is it really possible to beat a man the size of Tyson Fury with your dimensions?
– Why not, but I’m afraid to say such things. Because someone might say, “Oh, he’s imagining something about himself.” » But I think I might cause problems for him. Plus, I wouldn’t be a light heavyweight anymore. I would gain weight and eat proper breakfast.
– If Alexander Usik wins against Fury now, on the one hand, he will be the absolute champion, but again at heavyweight, and on the other hand, it will be the same Alexander Usik, with whom you boxed and with whom you did it doesn’t rule out a fight as a professional.
“I don’t think I’ll be offered a heavyweight fight if Usyk wins.” I don’t think they’ll come and offer it – it’s not profitable for them. If they offer it, you will hear my answer,” Beterbiev told .
