Nyrkkeilyn raskaan sarjan entiset mestarit Tyson Fury ja Shannon Briggs astuvat kehään ensi vuonna.

Miehet selvittelevät välejään ensi vuoden puolella, mikäli Briggsia on uskominen. 45-vuotias jenkki kertoi asiasta Instagram-tilillään.

– Ottelu on vahvistettu! Tämä on taistelu, jonka ihmiset haluavat nähdä, Briggs kirjoitti.

Briggs iski väliaikaiseksi maailmanmestariksi vuonna 1997 kaatamalla George Foremanin. Vuonna 2006 hän kukisti WBO-liiton titteliottelussa Sergei Liakovitshin.

Viime keväänä mies jäi kiinni dopingtestissä (uutinen).

Fury puolestaan nujersi Vladimir Klitshkon marraskuussa 2015 ottaen haltuunsa WBA-, WBO-, IBF- ja IBO-liittojen mestaruusvyöt. Sittemmin mies kärysi kielletystä aineesta ja luopui titteleistään. Fury ei ole ollut kehässä Klitshko-voittonsa jälkeen.

It’s confirmed!!!! This is a fight that the people would love to see …… but Fluff The No Magic Dragon 🐉 fat ass outta shape. 😞😞😞 Hopefully after my insults he’ll either 💩 or get off the piss pot. In between time I’ll be fighting staying busy fighting once a month #ireland #Scotland and #London knocking out pies meeting great people around the world 🌎 until he gets ”it” back. ”It” being his drive, motivation, and desire it takes to have a boxing career. When you hit the bottom you gotta say #LETSGOCHAMP and say I’m the Champ over & over and start moving. Workout, put on some beats and just go. #LETSGOCHAMP If Fluffy doesn’t fight again ( he said he wanted to last week 🤔🤔🤔 ) I wish him the best. He did his thing in the boxing game. He became undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion. Clowning Wald. 🤣😂🤣 Sheeeh. Truth is this boxing life is hard Champ and if you don’t come back I understand. I have no choice but to come after y’all. It’s all I know #BrownsvilleBrookyn raised me to run up and set it. Anybody can get it Champ. Anybody. It’s a nightmare that never ends. Boxing 🥊 can bring the worst people into your life and take you to some dark places. I’ve been in it for thirty years. It’s beat on my mind body and soul but yet I refuse to give up. This is all I ever done. Fight. I have my own demons that have to be kept in check so I don’t knock him for his personal problems. I support him. I stand with him. #LETSGOCHAMP #sidenote ….. but Champ if you ever get right & you decide to fight again you gotta see da Chizzamp or you can’t come back. Ever. No more. Ever. You called me old 😡 when I’m ancient. Get it right!!! If he do comeback he getting that #ChizzyChibbyChop 🤣😂😂😂🤣 that’s that right hand 😂😂 cHaAaMmMpPp 🎵🎵🎵 I’m stupid Champ straight crazy but I know I’m a good guy because I seen evil people do evil 💩 Champ.
