In a truly comic turn of events, John Fury, the father of heavyweight champ Tyson Fury, has just dropped a bombshell on the boxing world. He’s expressed a heartfelt desire to step into the professional boxing ring to face none other than the legendary Mike Tyson, and he’s eyeing October 28 as the date for this epic showdown.

What makes this even more intriguing is that this proposed bout coincides with the day when his son, Tyson Fury, will take on Mike Tyson’s protege, Francis Ngannou, in what’s shaping up to be an historic clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. If John Fury’s wish is granted, we could be in for an unprecedented double-header, since both of these monumental battles will unfold at the same venue.

This dream of John Fury’s could come to pass, if Mike Tyson reacts favourably to John Fury’s most-recent boast. It is not impossible in the world of males, and of fighters especially, for showdowns like the one John Fury is dreaming of to come to pass.

Many think Mike Tyson has more chance of winning this match, but John Fury does not care who wins or who loses. John Fury might be more concerned with how much he could make from people excited to see Mike Tyson fight again.

Would Mike Tyson agree to have this fight, it might be because of the money too, but he would have a lot more than money to fight for. This is because, though many agree that John Fury had a respectable number of victories, fewer people know about John Fury.

Speaking during his boast, John Fury tried to prove he was worthy of a fight with Mike Tyson. His arguments seemed reasonable.

‘I’m definitely not teasing, I want to fight him,’ John Fury said. ‘Win, lose or draw, I will fight Mike Tyson, don’t you worry about that. I know the Saudi’s can make it happen. I had eight wins, I beat the Italian Heavyweight Champion. He was six-foot-seven and a half, eighteen stone, he was the heavyweight champion and I beat him. I beat the man, who beat the man, who beat him.

Kevin McBride, stopped Mike Tyson, didn’t he? Michael Murray stopped Kevin McBride, and I stopped Michael Murray. So I am in with a chance. He’s f***ed and I’m f***ed, but I think that I am in a little bit of a better condition than him and I know that I am every bit as strong as him. If he chins me, he chins me, but I’ll try and chin him also.’

Both men are old enough to be grandfathers. Such a fight might be disturbing to their families.
