Having a fantastic training camp and having a good team around me and everything is going to be planned. No complaints, working very hard. This time I have my dad at camp, so I have my secret weapon there too. I have Tai Mitchell.

I have everything. The boys, all the girls are at camp, so we have a

full

circus, a

full

circus, uh, camp, so yeah, I can't, I can't do anything, actually, it was a great break when the fight was postponed Initially, how long did it take you? to overcome that and start again at first I was a little de

press

ed during the first day, but then, like all things in life, I realized that God's timing is impeccable, perfect, it is not late, it is not early , but it comes on time, so it wasn't my time to fight for the championship then, but it will be my time on May 18, so I'm preparing very well for it.

Let's bring Frank, Frank Warren, a historic moment on May 18th in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this is going to be quite an event and, this man seems ready to go here and he wants Echo to have it too, thank you to his highness, the great Prince, His Excellency the turkey, Alek, and the entire team that made it. "This happens and the entire team here at the table that made it possible and it will happen on the 18th, we have the biggest fight of the 21st century, it has never happened before, four belts at stake, and we." I'm going to find out who is the best heavyweight in the world.

I have my opinions and I know that My opinions will be right, but it will be something special, something very special, and these things appear, you know, once, without a doubt. this C this time once in a century it's up to us still, so a special fight with two undefeated fighters special two undefeated fighters and the world is going to see who is the best. I'm the best. I'm just defending my best quality. him, the L, the lineal champion, the lineal champion and the WBC champion, fighting for the other three belts and, and you know, Frank, yes, I read a lot of comments from people saying that there are four belts now, let's make this clear Right now, there are many more. of four belts at stake, you have IBO, IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC, Ring magazine and linear, so for everyone who thought there were four corrections, there are seven, there are seven things at stake here in this historic event, you are wrong , no I'm not.

It's an eight-season belt, yes, you've corrected it, I'm corrected, there were eight, eight belts in one fight, that has to be a record, without a doubt, you have to get another cabinet, you know, I'm sure you'll have to bring to Spencer Brown. You've been all over the country with Tyson Fury in terms of the tours you used to do, the speaking tours and now you're his manager and also in this next stage of his career, what are you seeing from this man who is direct? In this fight I'm watching a man who is on a mission, he's never looked so good in the last few years and what I hear from the camera I'm not there every day to see everything and see everything but Everybody tells me which is in fantastic shape.

Excellent. You know that he brought his father and that it is very important to have your family around him. I think you'll agree with that. The sugar. Very good. Buzz about the camp, which is fantastic. Well, let's ask Sugar. Hill on this, I mean, now you're also with Tyson Fury all the time since the cut. How have things been? Did you have to calm down a bit in sparring? How does it work? Do you re-address everything? uh, for me, um, it's just watching them. Today, he really hasn't disappointed since the end of the last training camp before the cut and, uh, I think for me, one of the hardest things is keeping an eye on these types of camps. when the fighter is totally ready, uh, to start and just give him a rhythm to keep him ready and not overdo it, so it's not that difficult, but you just have to watch, you just have to watch The Fighter, the fighter will tell you everything if he You look and how does he compare at this point to what he did before the fight with Francis Andano?

You know what I think the fight with Francis Andano was simply because he had so much time on his hands and wasn't as mentally focused as he was. it's for this one here um you know I was still ready for the fight it's just a different mentality when you go in there with uh at this level for everything something that's been waiting for so long um you know, you, you, I don't I don't mean you dream with these things, these are the things that can really push you to be a better person and bring out the best in you, uh Spencer, and this is a question for everyone, were you really surprised by some of the comments that came out? the USI camp, I think Alex cic was actually advising U Tyon to retire, and this raised eyebrows, well he would say it wouldn't be CU, it's him.

They have a mountain to climb to cross and a mountain to break. away and it's not going to be easy for them at all, they've played the game, you know, we've had some feedback from them in the past, um Tyson very quickly and very quickly dealt with it and I think when he cut his eye we handled it very well. , very quickly, we all talked and got the date, got the date, so there wasn't much to complain about, but um, yeah, he has to go through a mountain, uh

usyk

and I wouldn't do it. I would like to face this mountain, that's for sure, well, Tyson, at the launch

press

conference

where you faced Alexander Rusk, he didn't say much at that press

conference

, do you think he's holding back or doesn't want to get involved?

What's happening? He doesn't speak English, so he speaks a little English, but it's very difficult to talk to a fluent English-speaking boxing encyclopedia when you speak broken English, so I don't think you'll ever understand him. you got a foreigner, put him here with me, you got any American, any British fight I've been in in almost 20 years in boxing, no one has competed with me without speaking, so especially not a foreign guy who speaks broken English, um , as for everyone. things, people is the camp and all you know, this is showbiz, this is entertainment, this is everything, so if you don't talk about what's going on, then people lose interest and yada yada yada , then they have to talk, it is essential.

If you don't talk slaps in this game you're not going to make it, there's a heavyweight here, yes he's on the rise and my advice to him is to talk tons of slaps all the time, that's how people notice you and then when you You realize then you can show them your skills and do what you need to do and that's how it's done and like the entire usex team they are all lovely decent people. I think I saw his manager recently in Saudi Arabia. having a little fun with him and I shook his hand and he's a nice guy, you know he's doing the best he can for his man, which you know, Frank Spencer, my whole team is doing the best they can for their man.

So and if you don't do what's best for your man then you're a nice manager or promoter that's what I would say but I've seen some things in the media that this is really personal between me and Alexander Rusek this isn't personal , it's strictly a business for both fighters, you know, there's a lot at stake and all that, but I don't hate him, he doesn't hate me, he's a good husband. Good God-fearing man, so I respect him as a man as a fighter. He is an undisputed cruiserweight champion. He is a unified heavyweight champion, so anyone would have to respect the man's accomplishments.

A good fighter, you know, I have a tough challenge in front of me, but. I'm very confident in my ability and I'm very confident that I'll beat this guy, but that doesn't mean it's just because he loses to me, like you know, everyone I beat before, even long-running linear champions like Vladimir Klitschko. after I beat him everyone said it was a part of him savage all these guys I ever beat were all shit after I beat them so please don't say that Alexander R after I beat him because no It is a unified heavyweight. champion Beauty cruiserweight champion, but my personal opinion is that we have weight divisions for a reason and I am an encyclopedia on boxing and I have studied every heavyweight cruiserweight that has ever existed.

When the cruiserweight goes to the big guys, they usually get found wanting and even the best cruiserweights that ever existed if under Holyfield when he approached the big guys in Big Daddy B L is Lewis, they found him wanting, you can, you can beat the average bigs, but you can't beat the elite bigs. because size really matters and we have weight divisions for a reason and you will find him eager when he fights me on May 18, even if you look at David, hey, he was an explosive, good cruiserweight and good heavyweight, and when he fought average . heavyweights he could beat them, but when he got up to the big boy in Klitschko it wasn't really a contest, we looked at Thomas, he was a good light heavyweight, good cruiserweight, he beat some good average heavyweights, good heavyweights World contenders approached the greats. the boys won, so I expect the same from Alexander to be fair, who was the other one?

Sultan, my brother, he was an Olympic silver medalist, he was 20 years old and he was world champion. I think he beat Shannon Briggs for the world championship and he went. I found it lacking against Vladimir the team got mad at Square Garden, so I was able to go on and on and on and on, let's use Johnny Nelson, for example, Johnny was very, he was undefeated at cruiserweight when he was cruiserweight, but every time he He went up to heavyweight and they beat him, so these are facts, these are facts, no, I'm not criticizing anyone, but what I'm saying is that these are facts and if anyone wants to check my boxing record, let them do it.

I've studied this game my whole life and you can't prove it wrong this is my time my destiny my era and the facts of my generation Let's talk a little tactics let's bring Sugar Hill here sugar from your perspective the other heavy hitters that have tried to beat Alexander usk Daniel De Anthony Joshua Derek chisora ​​​​ChazWitherspoon all these limited abilities, but what did they do wrong? What did they do wrong? They did the best they could with their own ability, but it is very limited and his will take over. I don't have much to say with Tyson, uh.

You know you know everything so uh no, just listen to Alexander Usyk, like Tyson said, he's a great cruiserweight champion, he's won all these fights in his life. A lot of it is because you know his athleticism and things of that nature, but he can think, so he's able to outwork these guys, while they can. He comes in and thinks one or two things, he's thinking three and four, so, and you know, Tyson is the same way Tyson thinks five six, seven, eight, nine, 10, so, it's one of those games of chess, but I definitely agree with Tyson, he is the bigger man. um, the most skilled man and you have a smaller man with those same skills um yeah, you say with the same skills and uh, that big man, that big man is going to win all day, you know, and also everyone understands that the Tyson's punch is powerful. everyone I don't understand why I mean, I don't know about all the savages, they don't think so, but I'm talking about you, you talk about a lot of people and they just don't seem to understand it and you right, everyone who gets in the ring finds out, there's no doubt about it and I think that's going to be another telling point in this fight, a big telling point for him.

I have a fun fact for everyone who was supposed to do it. Being a no-p puncher in my career has given me problems and everyone who was supposed to be a dynamite puncher has been right up against it so I better watch my boots and here because he is known as a total no-p puncher but I have been overcome by some punches without punches. Didn't I realize that no-hits have gotten the better of me before, but the big hits in history have found me wanting to stay pinned, so it's kind of fun? made for everyone another fact a punch is a very durable man well understood that's a fact that's a fact and he's definitely a tough man it's his big puncher weak jaw don't take it as Big John suggesting that usk potentially has a weak jaw Frank AIG Nigel, that's all been loaded, hasn't it?

And I put that too, they're putting so much effort into knocking someone out, leave the self open to a counter crack where the guy who's not punching as much is using his boxing and moving around and not leaving himself wide open again not exactly Frank , you have also talked about an Achilles Hill for Alexander Rusk, do you want to tell us more about that? No, I mean, I've looked, I've looked a lot. of these fights goes back to the amateur days and he's a bit of a crybaby when it comes to getting hit to the body he cries a lot to the referee and to me that's what he always was uh if you want to use the phrase in the kill his heel and kill his body, that's what it is and he doesn't like it, that's because the only time he's been outmatched is with body shots, better than dropping him with a body shot and um, I think. it was the polish guy, what was the name of the polish cruiserweight, um, his name was go ly or something, i think he took him down with a body shot too, yeah, so thanks, that's definitely right, and i've kind of looked that and I looked at that before we did the fight with dubar and duar dubar definitely hurt him in the body irres what happened, the body doesn't like that's for sure and for me the greatest exponent of exploiting a boxer's weakness is the professor here and that's what he does, he finds out that if anyone is going to exploit him, it's going to be Tyson, he has the mental capacity to do that and keep doing what he has to do and and and I know, you know the people When they asked me about the predictions, I really think he's going to win this fight with an explosive material and that's because we also talked about the size earlier, because it's going to be a lot bigger, can you give us a little more color on it? pred I think he is, I mean you just have to look at them both, he's bigger but the other guy's been a heavyweight for three years so he's grown up, he's carrying a weight and obviously you already know if you're fighting at cruiserweight, he'll feel more comfortable, but he's dealing with someone, like Tyson himself said, he's natural, he's a naturally big guy, he's, he's, he's, in a way, like um, like usk, who They behaved well, very well, well. boxing brains, but I think Tyson is the best heavyweight in the world, there is no doubt about that and everyone is going to talk about the last fight, good fighters on a night off win fights, they don't, he is not sitting here today saying it.

It was a bad night and that's why they beat me, he had a bad night and he won and that's how good fighters come out ahead and he overcomes it and he's not, in my opinion, he is in my life in boxing and Since I've been doing this, he's been the best, he's been involved in the best heavyweight fight I've ever seen live, which was that third fight and now you know it against Wilder because of the way Wilder was undefeated champion of heavyweight for six years. and the biggest puncher and you look at the boxing brain of him.

Tyson's boxing brain that second fight figured out what he needed to do and he absolutely did a job and that's what he does. That's why he's such a smart, well, super good fighter. and overall I think I think this other one fell into the way that he's he's not you know he's not he's not going to do it not only is he showing up he's probably Fs in his heart he may have seen a couple of flaws in the last one. Tyson's performance and He would be working on it, no doubt, as any fighter would, but at the end of the day, he is with someone who is extra special and I think we are going to see, I think we are going to see an explosive.

Extra special fight, well we know when it comes to criticism you don't listen, it's water off Duck's back, but I want to bring Spencer here because you have to see people criticize Tyson Fury and say some outrageous things. I also want to say how you go about it. When you're personally involved with someone, it's a little disturbing and can get on your nerves, but like Tyon tells me, just ignore it, it's duck water, but. I mean, I saw it yesterday, I saw, I don't know 20 or 30 different people with different opinions, this fight is causing, it's causing huge different opinions for everyone, it's going to be spectacular what they have.

The plan for this fight is the fight, but we have a great card, it's going to be spectacular and I mean, they even released their own song today, the song Ring of Fire, so if you are, if you are. on the internet check it out, it's incredible, they're pulling all boats for this, for this fight, it's going to be tremendous, fantastic, great, it's going to be incredible and the turkey Al Shake and his team had done such a good job and, uh, they. They really think a lot about Tyson, they love him, so there's no doubt about that, honestly, you know the relationship he has with the turkey I shake is second to none, you know he was the first one through the door and he'll probably be the last.

Get out the door so you know there's a line they want to follow and you know they want to have more fights coming and Tyson mentioned them but we take it one fight at a time, I think Alexander Usk could have done it. Um he underestimated Tyson a little bit in that last performance, but if you see him in the gym, his punching power, everything has increased, look at this world, he really is in fantastic shape, his head is very focused on this fight, which . I have noticed that there is a lot of concentration, so we will see at night and we will see who wins and we will see what everyone has to say, then all the great boxers and experts and all these people who are what I have seen that many of them do not give to Tyson a chance, I don't know where they're coming from in that last performance, in that last performance, but let's see what they have to say after this, hopefully.

I go around, yeah, well, that's what they say, you know, that's what they all are, you know, some of them I'm quite surprised, but let's see later and, like Tyson said, it's a boxing match, the better man will win and we. I'll shake my hand later, I think if I didn't train at all for this camp and only came in with 25 stone and sank maybe 15 HP of Peroni beforehand and then the next day going there, what's he going to do, jib and Jab? around, you know what I mean? He listens, don't take anything from him, but he couldn't do anything without Jaora.

We all saw that fight, let's not get involved with him, it was a 50/50 fight, he could have R either way, so not unless he is. Come on, 38 39 years old in the last two years as Leaps and Bounds Mighty. I thought Joshua fights very close. I thought Joshua's fights were very close. He came out with a lot of brands and you know, the second fight. second second fight, especially yes, but the other thing is you say I have 15 paronis, you are in the rage now Frank, there is no chance, so if I go to look for a real dingdong or I need at least 15 pounds of Bon in Al minus Tyson, I was watching an interview with Alexander Rusk the other day and he said that Vladimir Klitschko came up and gave him some advice, but not beyond the advice on how to lose to the Gypsy King, how can Vlad, my old friend, give him something to someone? advice because he himself would have used it only if he had any advice, advice or any idea how to beat me, it was an absolutely one-sided boxing lesson that I give to everyone Vlad and I think Vlad was a very good champion.

Like this guy is the best of his generation and I said right? I said if I can't beat old Vlad I must be useless and I'll say it again if I can't beat Usek, I'm clearly no good. that's your red line if

tyson

fury

can't beat usek

tyson

that's not a good ending of I'm not taking any punches that's what it is if I can't beat USAC I'm no good say I'm no good then I'll have a rematch against him and I'll say I'm no good again if I lose again what else can I do, but if I win, I beat another guy, great, move on to the next guy, but if you beat him, get all those belts from the that you talked about Undisputed's eight belts, what does that mean?

I'll add them to the 25 I already have. In fact, I promised his Excellency the turkey Al Shake that when he wins all these belts I will give everything. one for him as a gift, let's get a final prediction of I mean, everyone will pick Tyson Fury to win, but give us some color, Sugar Hill, how will this fight play out? simple knockout, yeah, early, late, I don't know. Okay, right when it happens, knockout, on May 18, we'll find out. uh, Spencer, knockout. Okay, eight in eight. Okay, we have a round. Spencer, let's see if we can get a round against Frank Warren.

You should ask your. I think you should ask. His father we will also bring Big John Fury Frank, let me get him yourself first knock out Knock Out, he will give me a round like when I catch him, here goes Big John, what do you think? CH. It's going to be a boxing match between two great technicians, it might end up being a bit of a boring fight to watch because that's what they do and I think get your tickets here, get your tickets here guys, we reduced the tickets now so one takes one, you know what?

What I'm saying is that it will be a great boxing match between two top technicians and Tyson will be the bigger man. I think I see it stopped. About 10 or 11 rounds, but before that, a big M boxing match where both men get the tank, both men probably get n, but it's going to come down to what we thrive on and that's what's between his legs in the end. I don't think any M man you have there will lift him up and find victory in an exciting boxing and chess fight, but there will be some exciting moments.

Thank you John, thank you very much John. I'm going to go read to knock me out in the first round. I'll try it, why not? There you have it. We have everyone's predictions, including Tyson's very curious prediction. Thank you all for joining us. Let's take some photos. up front and see you on May 18th for the big one, you must be old, you stay there, we get on too John, come on, come on, John Frank, I'm holding on Hello, yes, you need to talk to him. How do we do all this? All right, off the mat, this is Tokey, here we go, thank you all, thank you.
