John Fury challenged Mike Tyson to a fight during the Fury vs Ngannou press conference and had to be pulled away bu security at one point

While the boxing legend remained coy upon hearing Fury’s proposal to fight after the bell on Saturday night, John doubled down on his proposal in an interview once the press conference had concluded.

Speaking to Boxing King Media, Fury said: “It’s about entertaining the world and if I can do that it’ll be the icing on my cake for my lifetime to fight that great power.

“Win, lose, I’m not saying I can beat him but John Fury will give a good account of himself.

“I’ll stand in the middle of the ring and I’ll trade until I’m dead.”

Asked about the press conference, Fury said: “With the great Mike Tyson it’s got to be the best, hasn’t it?

“Up close and personal, we had a back and forth and to and fro, I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.

“I’m a fighting man; win, lose or draw. Nothing in the world can happen to me that hasn’t already happened and I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.

“I’ve got my son’s back a million and 20 per cent.”
