Trainer dismisses ‘distasteful’ Maloney offer
WBC contender Tyson Fury will not entertain any advances
from Frank Maloney to make a potential British heavyweight title clash with
current champion David Price, according to trainer and uncle Peter Fury.
Maloney made his plans for a £1million domestic super-fight
at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium or in London public earlier today and Fury has
now made his feelings on the offer plain as day as he spoke to WBN.
“First of all Anfield is a no and one million means nothing
to us,” Fury told World Boxing News.
“As I have said before, we will take Price on when he's
achieved where Tyson is now. We are going for title this year and that is our
focus.
“Price is nowhere near the level that Tyson has reached and
as far as I am concerned, Maloney needs to stop using his own fighter for PR off Tyson’s
back when he knows full well the fight’s not happening and in making these
offers is fooling the fans with his nonsense.
“Maloney waves money in public with a distasteful tact
without realising that not every one jumps for a pound like some we could
mention!”
Big-hitting Price, 29, has also put his blueprint for a world
title shot out in the open recently too in an interview with BBC Sport and hopes to
challenge one of the champions in the top division within his next five fights.
Whether that title holder is Tyson Fury only time will tell.
