What has Tyson Fury said about Mike Tyson plane incident?
Fury, who insists he will retire from boxing after defeating Dillian Whyte to retain his WBC heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium last weekend, was asked what he made of the recent Tyson incident.
âWell, you know, Mike Tysonâs a real OG,â Fury told Piers Morgan Uncensored. âYou canât mess with Mike, you just donât know what heâs going to do.
âAll the fun police will be on Mike to get him cancelled, but how can you go around prodding a lion with a stick? How long can you prod a guy for before he does something about it?
âMikeâs Mike. Mike doesnât get the name âBaddest Man on the Planetâ for nothing, so heâs not the guy you want to prod with a stick on a plane until you get chinned - and thatâs exactly what happened to the guy. And then he wants to cry about it!
âIf heâs man enough to prod Mike Tyson and touch him, and call him names and abuse him on a plane, then man up and take a punch in the face! So what! You should be paying Mike. Now you can say youâve been punched in the face by a legend and a world heavyweight champion, MIke Tyson.
âIâd pay for that myself!â
