Fury Vows to Set an Example with Makhmudov Showdown
Tyson Fury was swept off his feet by Arslanbek Makhmudov in a bear hug during their final press conference, but he took it lightly and is now focused on his mission to become a three-time world champion. Fury is making his return to boxing after a brief retirement and is determined to reclaim a world title, starting with his fight against Makhmudov. He declared, "For the first time in forever, I'm the hunter, not the hunted. I'm the top man in this division, and I'm going to prove it again and again." Fury is confident in his abilities, despite his age and time out of the sport, and is ready to defy those who doubt him. He warned that he cannot take Makhmudov lightly, saying, "Give this man his respect. He's a quick starter, with 17 knockouts in the first couple of rounds." Fury feels sorry for Makhmudov, stating, "I'm going to make an example of him. I'll knock his head right off his two shoulders. I'm ready to rock and roll."
