this fight and I said Alexander was fight as well and I then he says let me pass your number to the manager of Tyson and I think if you two going to get in the room the fight is going to be made next thing I have a phone call from Spencer and he asked me to fly to New York next morning I already was in New York we got in the room Spencer Dr Ran myself and about in the one hour of our talk we left

February 17th thank you igus clas let's bring in the unified World Heavyweight Champion Alexander usk Alexander I have heard you talk about absolute Undisputed becoming Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion for so long now the moment has arrived tell us what you're thinking Alexander um [Music] my English is not sufficient enough not as good enough as I want it to be so I will start in Ukrainian please Alex Alex will help me I want to tell one story which looks very similar to our story with Tyson about David and Goliath when the Lord gives me Tyson in my hands I will make my job impossible the Lord will never deliver me to you son ever the never deler me to you ever never the Lord has nothing impossible nothing's impossible but he'd never deliver me to you you especially man wearing earrings ever believe that when you sleep at night ugly man you got to think of me for the next eight weeks think of me because I'm going to punch your face in Alexander do you do you have any response to these comments what that Tyson's saying you can't have any response CU it's true no no response okay no comments no comment listen Tyson you you have written many pages in heavy history so far chance to write another one Undisputed please take the floor listen I'm getting a little bit carried away here I'm excited and I'm enjoying it so before I kick off even more I want to say big thank you to Turkey Al shake for putting it on it was only a few well last year all these boxing fights seemed impossible to make and uh turkey El shake his Excellency has made them all in five minutes it seems like that um so yeah Kingdom of Saudi Arabia get up get up turkey Al shade um yeah back to this look I've been in many many heavyweight title fights before um it is what it is and now is the the most important one you know me and Alexander both undefeated he's a champion I'm a champion and it's going to be one of the fights for the ages you know it's been someone told me the other day it's been 24 years since we had a last Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion now we know that the both klitch goes was Champions around about 10 years so there's been another 14 years where all the heavyweights couldn't do it so we've been chosen and I believe we're both destined to be here and to be in this uh big fight in Saudi Arabia the ring of fire um and there's only one winner and I'm destined to become the Undisputed champion and more than that I'm destined to cement my legacy as the number one fighter of this era and to do that I've got to beat this little man and that's it simple as easier said than done I understand he's a tricky man good boxer slick all of that but listen I've um seen many many people like him before and when they fight the big men they struggle and uh he's going to struggle on February 17th and he will lose I will break him for sure Tyson you you've referred to him as a middleweight before you've talked about his size but he was big enough to beat Derek chisora Daniel D and Anthony Joshua why is he not big enough to beat tys and fury cuz they're all bums um that's probably it um he's for never mind the size he is a middleweight box at 75 kilo but it's not a size of the the dog in the fight as size of the fighting the dog and obviously he's got a big fight inside of him but when you meet a big man who's a lot bigger than you's also got the fight inside of you let's just put it in a nutshell you're [ __ ] and that's it Alexander what do you think when Tyson Fury calls you a middleweight and he talks talks to you like this what do you think maybe it's true I don't know you've for me it doesn't matter you know Tyson Fury every time a lot of speak but for me it doesn't matter Alexander you have faced off with Tyson Fury a couple of times now now after the Derek Z fight he was in your face he was very loud he said a few things then after the Francis and ganu fight it was a bit more quiet have you taken anything from these face offs when you've looked into his eyes is it univers [Music] Facey uh the first time I made the face off with Tyson after Tora fight he was very motivated with high energy with High Spirits the last time he was exhausted well TS let let me bring you in here is this the biggest threat you faced so far nowhere near easy fight nowhere near the biggest threat he's a he's a he's a boxer we know he's a slick boxer SAA he ain't the biggest puncher in the world um and he's not the biggest strongest man in the world so listen I can outbox him I can get on the front foot and Slaughter him there's plenty of ways that I can uh skin this cat but we'll find out on the night and listen obviously it's a no contest when we're up here talking sh because I'm speaking to myself and they're conferring amongst each other and yada yada yada but we're not here to talk it's not a talking contest because it's just not it's a boxing match and on February 17th all the talking's out the window nothing matters what he said or what I've said it comes down to who's going to win the fight and that's what pay-per-view is for and that's what these boxing fights are for is it not for people to tune in and watch who's going to [ __ ] win the fight and that's it there's nothing more to be said he thinks he's going to win Maybe I think I know I'm going to win and and that's it there's nothing more anyone can say that's it there's not much more to be said is there there's not I've got one more for you though after his fight with Daniel de yeah you said that he quit in that fight I did think so yes talk to us about that I think he got hit in the body and a good body shot and he didn't want to get up for five minutes so yeah there you have it Alexander any any response to that Che I have I absolutely don't care of what Tyson thinks of that thank you Alexander rusik I think is a question then did you get hit low did he get hit low I watched box so yeah there you are crawling around the floor like that's what he did again on February 17th when he gets busted up all over the ring he craw lands on the floor your interpretation is not precise two boys next to him will be all making excuses oh yada he was too big he's only a cruiserweight yada y y in order to score same all shite is there anything else thank you thank you very much mayor all night thank you very much Tyson thank you everyone at this table Frank I'm just going to come to you here to to close up this press conference here today uh it's wet the appetite we've got an Undisputed fight talk to us final thoughts it's simply history it's history on the 17th of February we are for the first time this Century going to we all get what we want exactly you get what you want what you've been asking for and we will have a unified heavyweight champion in Riad in Riad season it will be a fantastic night for boxing because we'll see who is the best heavyweight on the planet who sitting next to me thank you very much Frank Frank is a question for you I thought I was afraid to fight him how often how long we've been trying to make this fight I don't know but what happened to all the chat of me being afraid and I was a chicken and I was a [ __ ] house and I won't fight Alexander usek and he's a killer and all that what happened to that well we signed for it last year and it didn't happen not down to you I know but like all of this talk Tyson scared of Alexander he doesn't want to fight what are we doing here now then well we're here and it's going to happen and on the 17th they're going to you know look history as I say will be made the problem is that today is not February 17th and the fight is not happening yet but we we will pray unless your man pulls out it's not happening the only person you guys give a word I'll just say one thing and this is a fact the last time we signed for this fight which was last year you pulled out yeah yep so now we've got it on there and you can't pull out twice and we won't pull out I know you're not going to pull out and we we Tyson certainly isn't this fight is on and all we got to focus on is what will happen on that night we'll find out Frank won't we we will find out it will be it's going to be a magnificent occasion for boxing I promise you it's going to be a great great night for boxing thank you thank you gentlemen on February 17th only one man will be able to walk this Earth as the Undisputed tyon Fury heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and thanks turkey Al Shake as cuz you're the man behind this and you made it all happen simple as that well done turkey get up there
