Fury Vows to Make a Statement Against Makhmudov

In a lighthearted moment at their final press conference, Arslanbek Makhmudov lifted Tyson Fury off the ground in a bear hug, but Fury is determined to prove his dominance in their upcoming fight. Following a brief retirement, Fury is on a mission to reclaim a world title, starting with this bout against Makhmudov. Fury declared, 'For the first time in a long time, I'm the one doing the chasing, not being chased.' He expressed his confidence, stating, 'I'm the best in this division, and I'll keep proving it.' Fury aims to target the major world titles held by Usyk and Fabio Wardley, saying, 'They'll all have to face me eventually, as I'm the one who can bring in the big paydays.' Despite his 37 years and time away from the sport, Fury is ready to defy doubters, including his own father, and prove he still has what it takes to be a champion. He warned against underestimating Makhmudov, saying, 'He's a formidable opponent with a history of quick knockouts.' Fury's confidence remains unwavering, as he stated, 'I feel sorry for Makhmudov; I'm going to make an example of him and prove my skills.'
