"I never understood Tyson Fury" Mike Tyson full interview | Round 12: Fury's Resurrection

microphone, so when our super fights are announced like that, obviously you've been in a lot of these super fights before, how much pressure do we have on a guy to perform on the biggest stage? Hey, listen, this is the most important moment of your life, this is the moment. We have always dreamed of being a super fight, every time I fight, the whole world is watching and this is just a dream come true for both fighters. I think what you liked about both fighters, first Fury and then Wilder as fighters. Well, I like them both, I fight this, you know, underneath both of them, these guys came out of nowhere and managed to be heavyweight champions, you know, you have nothing to do but respect that, I understand that I had their position in a moment, how did you think about it?

I was going to go to the first time I don't know, um, I don't know, I probably expected Tyson Fury to always be with him because he had my name on him, so I always went, that's the natural thing to do right, so always. Really um, I'm biased towards him, but the knockout artist does justice, yeah, and he did it very well. I thought Ferry was handling it well. Tyson handled it well. Boxing well. I didn't know Tyson Fury with that. You know about a boxer by his clumsiness that he is tall, it doesn't seem like he was such a good boxer, but he is very effective, he moves well for a while, he goes on and on, he doesn't even notice that he is moving well because he looks uncomfortable. friend, you did a great job on the podcast with Tyson Fury.

How was it having Tyson as a guest? Hadrian, what kind of things would faith in him take? um, it's very nice, are you leaving the place? I really like him, you know he's a good person. You obviously mentioned how the fight was going. Tyson looked very impressive and out of boxing, Wilder. Do you think that surprised a lot of Americans who didn't know what Tyson had to offer? that surprised me, you know, I

never

really

understood

Tyson, you know, you

understood

, you know, and then I kept watching a meeting of guys who were decent fighters, while you guys were finishing you guys, I wouldn't fight, what's the problem?

He has to look like he should be beating these guys, but he's beating me and he laughs at them and makes it look funny, you know, so I became a fan and now he's a lot better than I thought or thought. that he. It sounds like you obviously mentioned about the super stage fight that these guys have trained and worked to be in when they're in the ring and they're staring at each other, there's nerves, there's fear before the fight, all of that is not like that. I'm sure there, but when the sand had faith in each of those nerves and fears that disappeared, they evolved into this.

No, this is what it is, it's fighting from time to time, so what takes over the adrenaline, probably honey, but other than the adrenaline and the stakes it's like a sparring match, it's like going to the gym . Wilder is the knockout that people say he obviously only needs to win one second of any round to win a fight and in the ninth round he knocked down Tyson Fury. It takes a fight of that magnitude or any fight to get up off the deck and start fighting the way the tide came. The thing is, no, you know, it's not over until it's over, you know, I don't care how hard you fight. what a great punch it's hard to beat tomato someone I left him and this is what happens when you were watching the fight if you got involved in it the fact that Tyson had taken this advantage and Deonte then knocked him down was something that you did you know you were cheering for to Tyson?

Absolutely, yes, absolutely, it was um, I don't know how to say it, it was um, it was almost like a fairy tale screen book written, it went down, it got up again, it seemed impossible, like it was over. and he got up and then when Tyson was putting his hands behind his back and above his head and telling Wilder to come at him, which they did here. Wow, the customer thought, but that's just this money fight in the spirit of fighting, you know I can. I don't judge that, but he just surprised a lot of people by getting up because that's everything you shouldn't do against the punch.

Oh well, it's tough. He showed these toughs that he is capable of taking hits, getting up, coming back and he left. I guess I really admire it, you know, the education of yesterday, what has happened, what is happening now, every day. I think he's a really good guy, it's not that I just like Dante Wilde. I think he is a wonderful man. I like having him I knew him well, but I

never

got to know him as well as I got to know Tyson in round 12, when Tyson went down, people thought that was it, people thought it was game over.

What was your first impression when Tyson Fury hit the ground in that one? last round, oh man, it was over and then it got up and then it was almost like a difficult scenario, everyone went crazy and then it fought back, it got stuck in the water. I agree with you, he defended himself, he did it, he did it and how much did his save go up. a consequence of fighting him like this I am a just man. I'll be interested in him coming out in this fight too. Did you think that Walder, as a finisher, was going to be able to finish off Tyson when he hurt him?

In round 12, did you think? I don't know I had no idea what I was going to do I know Tyson showed up there who was outside showed up like that but everyone was wrong the look was wrong the look was wrong people thought the game was over Cooney could yeah, when someone fights back like that at the end of a fight and they're tired, fatigued, emotionally stressed, all that kind of stuff, what does it take to think about a big dose of intestinal fortitude, self-confidence from the retailer? in yourself and the confidence to believe that you have all arrived at the situation and it is just an illusion, not bad, since it seems that Tyson has obviously said that he is a big fan of yours and that has been well documented, whereas when He asked him about heavyweight, the best from the past said he would have beaten you in a fight hey, I don't know, I loved the fact that he thinks we could, that's what I would say too, he's supposed to think that We are heavyweight champions of the world and there is something very special and I hope you never forget dead, these guys are on par with Lennox and Evander and the guys of your era, hey, listen, because if they are, they are not the champions in their reign, they deserve the respect of a champion, what happens in The Rematch on February 22 is going to be really very interesting if I could guide them.

They would have something to prove with many tests and I wish the best for the title for a longer time.
