Tyson Fury reacts to Wayne Rooney calling for him to be knighted by suggesting he helps him prepare to fight Oleksandr Usyk
Bridges trains hard for O'Connell grudge match after 'skanky stripper' jibeGervonta leaks $10million offer from Hearn, asks why he isn't banned from promotingCrawford wants Spence fight in London because UK supports boxing more than USA“Wayne Rooney is a proper legend, and I grew up watching him as a youngster for England and [Manchester] United. So, that’s [an] amazing, amazing speech from him,” Fury told talkSPORT Breakfast.
“He’s a massive boxing fan, he comes from a boxing family as well. So, hopefully, we can have a little spar in the future sometime. I do need someone smaller to prepare for Usyk. Wayne, if you’re listening, get on the blower, son! Despite appreciating Rooney’s kind words, Fury explained why he’s not really interested in receiving a knighthood or any other type of honour from the Royal Family.“As daft and bizarre as this might sound to people, I’m really happy with who I am,” he added.
“I’m the people’s champion. I don’t really need some accolade, award, or promotion to let me know who I am, what I do, or who I am inside. I know that I don’t really need a claim to say, ‘Oh, he’s a Sir or he’s a whatever.’” Rooney may be the first big name to call for Fury’s knighthood but many more could follow, especially if he manages to become the first four-belt champion in heavyweight history next year.
