Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has decided to call out UFC champ Cain Velasquez. It’s a nice idea but…
We all know Tyson Fury isn’t shy about letting his mouth do the talking but we do think that this time he has bitten off more than he can chew.
The 20-0 career heavyweight reckons he can take down the newly crowned UFC heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez, and he accused the vanquisher of Junior Dos Santos of being on drugs too.
Fury issued a few tweets today towards Velasquez, starting with this…

Whatever about the other allegations, Velsquez is certainly not small. Yes, at 6’1” he is eight inches shorter than the English-born Fury but they weigh pretty much the same.
If the two were to meet under Queensbury Rules then Fury’s greater reach advantage may help him but if they met in the Octagon, it would be a very short, and brutal contest, with Velasquez surely defeating Fury with ease due to his superior martial arts and wrestling skills.
Still, at least it gets Fury’s name out there and while he may not get a response from the UFC’s top man, he might from David Price or Vitali Klitschko.
