Boxing lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s manager, Frank Warren, was recently interviewed on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
Here are the highlights (via talkSport):
Not wanting Fury to risk his health working in WWE with a big rematch with Deontay Wilder on the table:
What can you say? He went out there to watch it and the next minute he’s involved in it, it’s unbelievable. But that’s Tyson. He’s supposed to be taking a rest and taking it easy, but he’s decided that he wants to do this and he’s going to do it… No he didn’t [discuss it with me]. He’s done it and we’ve discussed it afterwards. I’d be a liar if I said I was pleased with it, I’d prefer him not to do it but he’s doing it.
Fury possibly getting injured in his WWE match:
Listen, I’ve seen WWE fighters get cuts, it’s the nature of contact sports. It could happen but I hope it doesn’t. I’d prefer he didn’t do it because it could jeopardize his boxing career. But he’s doing it and he’s his own man. In some ways I suppose it’s keeping him focussed and keeping fit and well. It’s not like he’s a baby, he’s 30 years of age.
