„Cikánský král se vrátí! Mluvil jsem s ním a mám jeho slovo, že se v Rijádu představí v sezoně 2026. Musíme ulovit králíka!“ napsal na sociálních sítích Alalšich, patrně nejvlivnější člověk v boxu současnosti, který podle všeho touží uspořádat třetí střet mezi Furym a Oleksandrem Usykem.
Bývalý šampion boxerské rukavice pověsil na hřebík teprve v lednu, krátce před tím podruhé podlehl zmíněnému neporaženému Ukrajinci Usykovi, jenž bude 19. července hájit světové tituly těžké váhy v odvetě proti britskému nájezdníkovi Danielu Duboisovi. „S kým bych teď nejradši bojoval? S Usykem. Chci se pomstít v Anglii,“ řekl Fury novinářům na akci Mezinárodní boxerské asociace v Istanbulu.
„V Anglii chci spravedlivý výsledek, protože si nemyslím, že v obou předchozích případech bylo rozhodnuto férově,“ namítá holohlavý tvrďák z Velké Británie, který se proti výsledkům bodových rozhodčích ohradil prakticky ihned po skončení soubojů.
„Pokud by to ale s Usykem nevyšlo, chci Anthonyho Joshuu. To by byl největší britský zápas, který tu kdy byl,“ ví dobře 36letý boxer s bilancí 34 výher, 2 porážek a 1 remízy. „Pokud se tedy rozhodnu vrátit, tak právě tohle by mohl být ten zápas, který by mě k tomu přesvědčil. Překonal by všechny rekordy a na Wembley by se za hodinu prodalo 100 tisíc lístků.“
Furymu porážky s Usykem stále leží v žaludku. „Dvakrát jsem toho zm*da porazil a svět se dozví pravdu. Kdykoli a kdekoli,“ naznačoval už před několika měsíci Fury, že je třetímu vzájemnému souboji otevřený.
I proto bude mimořádně důležitý výsledek souboje Usyka proti Duboisovi. Ukrajinec se může stát prvním boxerem v historii, který se hned dvakrát stal absolutním šampionem těžké váhy. I to by dalo patřičnou šťávu do trilogie proti Furymu, u nějž je očividně jen otázka času, kdy svůj návrat pod světla reflektorů oznámí oficiální cestou.

‘Relax A Little Bit’: Kyle Van Noy Challenges Former Teammate Justin Herbert To Step Up
Eric Williams NFL Reporter <!--> LOS ANGELES - As an elder statesman in the NFL, Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Kyle Van Noy won't mince words when it comes to those he's mentored – including Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. "Part of me says [Herbert] needs to relax a little bit, because he cares so much," Van Noy told me. "He’s a perfectionist. Just go out there and play ball."Van Noy, who continues to defy his age by finishing with a career-high 12.5 sacks in 2024 and reaching his first Pro Bowl in his 11th NFL season, was a teammate of Herbert's during the 2022 campaign. The Bolts made the playoffs, but suffered an embarrassing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars as they blew a 27-0 lead. Van Noy shared a locker next to the talented signal caller that year, which was his only […]
Jonas Valančiūnas reportedly mulling move to Europe, and his decision could impact Nuggets, Kings and Warriors
The Denver Nuggets are off to a terrific start to their offseason, as they've earned high marks for their wheeling and dealing to open NBA free agency. Two of their biggest moves this week came by way of trades. The first sent Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson, creating significant cap relief while also giving them a two-way wing who better fits their needs. The second flipped Dario Sarič to Sacramento for Jonas Valančiūnas, seemingly solving the Nuggets' backup center problem that's persisted for a few years now. However, new reports indicate that deal may not get done as Valančiūnas may not even play in the NBA next year. On Thursday, BasketNews broke the news that Valančiūnas was in talks with Greek club Panthinaikos on a 3-year, $36 million deal. Marc Stein confirmed Valančiūnas' interest […]

But once November hits, it will be time to dig in as World Cup qualifying begins. That’s when we’ll see Hayes narrow her squad into what she has called a "core group" that will figure into bigger plans moving forward.Between now and […]
