‘I know you’re still out there’ – Tyson Fury reveals the three big British rivalries still out there for him, including Anthony Joshua, David Price and David Haye
Tyson Fury will call out almost anyone in the heavyweight division and it seems even the division's retired stars are not safe.
Over his 15 year career, Fury has engaged in some intense rivalries, with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder.
On the domestic front, however, while Fury has had some fierce rivalries, he has rarely met those rivals in the ring.
David Price, for example, is the only Brit to beat Fury in either the amateur or professional ranks and the pair seemed to be on a collision course in 2012.
Both men chose different paths, however, and after Price suffered back to back defeats against Tony Thompson, a potential clash with Fury lost momentum.
Another of Fury's most heated rivalries was with former world champion, David Haye, and the pair were actually scheduled to fight twice in 2013 and 2014, but on both occasions the bouts fell through due to 'The Hayemaker' sustaining injuries.
Today, Fury's biggest British rival is Anthony Joshua and it seemed they had agreed to fight earlier this year, but negotiations collapsed almost as quickly as they began, and 'The Gypsy King' ended up fighting and beating Derek Chisora instead.
“I wonder if it would still sell out a stadium if me and big old David Price had a fight. Even though he’s retired, Old Trafford or Anfield I think we sell it out for the WBC World Heavyweight title. Or even if the WBC wouldn’t sanction it, we could do it for the North West title of Great Britain," Fury said.
“The rivalry was that big for so long, and he was the only British person to ever beat me, amateur or pro. I think it’d sell out.
"And I also think that a fight with the toe breaker would sell a stadium out. Do you think me and him [David Haye] would still sell out?
