Tyson Fury Reveals One Boxer He Will Never Fight
WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury has named the one boxer he will not face inside the ring.
Fury has never been shy about ruffling the feathers of his fellow heavyweights. He has traded barbs with his former foe Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, and current WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titleholder Oleksandr Usyk.
There is one heavyweight, however, who Fury will not be insulting or fighting.

Appearing on stage before Joseph Parker's first-round TKO victory over Faiga Opelu, Fury had a chat with Ben Damon and the footage was captured by Jai McAllister. Fury was asked if he'd ever fight Parker, who is his teammate and a close friend. "The Gypsy King" made it clear that a fight between the two is out of the question.
"Definitely no, no," Fury said. "I'd rather give him the belt than fight him for it. We're too close for that fight. There's plenty heavyweights out there. He doesn't need to fight me. I don't wanna get beat up, sorry."
What's next for Tyson Fury hasn't been made official. With that said, "The Gypsy King" has seemingly confirmed talks to fight unknown undefeated boxer Demsey McKean this August. The potential bout has already come under heavy scrutiny online, as fans have been calling for Fury to fight Usyk.
With more top boxing matches such as Gervonta "Tank" Davis vs. Ryan Garcia, and the recently announced Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford fight coming to fruition, it'll be interesting to see if Fury will follow suit and eventually make the clash with Usyk happen.
