Peter Fury is trainer that has fought his way to respect in the boxing world after not only guiding his nephew, Tyson Fury, to an undefeated record, but also taking on established fighters and applying the knowledge there as well.
I recently had a chance to speak with Peter Fury and got his views on not only the fighters he is working with, but his opinion on young rising star, Anthony Joshua and the likelihood fo Joshua fighting Tyson Fury. Additionally, I got Fury’s thoughts on Amir Khan’s upcoming fight against Devon Alexander, and his view on Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Here is what Peter Fury had to say.
Robert Brown: What did you think of the fight between Billy Joe Saunders and Chris Eubank Jr?
Peter Fury: Yes, I said Billy Joe has to be in the best shape of his life if he’s to beat Eubank. I said that just sheerly on experience and the level where they’re both at, you’d expect Saunders to edge it and that’s exactly what happened.
Robert Brown: Tyson Fury will be back in the ring on February 28th. Do you have any idea who the opponent might be at this stage?
Peter Fury: Yeah we’re going to take a top ten or top fifteen fighter, somebody that the four governing bodies in the world rank him. It’s going to be someone within the top fifteen. He will have a warm up more or less, while we do the negotiations for Wladimir Klitschko.
Robert Brown: If Eddie Hearn brings the checkbook out of his pocket, could Tyson possibly face Anthony Joshua?
Peter Fury: No, it definitely can’t be. Joshua is not on Tyson’s level, he’s had nine fights and we’re not interested in that fight. He’ll have to earn his chance another way because he’s not earned his chance to fight the likes of Tyson Fury.
Robert Brown: After Tyson’s performance, do you think Eddie Hearn still believes Joshua can beat Tyson Fury in three rounds?
Peter Fury: Well I think that’s Eddie Hearn on a PR mission to just bring up his fighter. That’s not what Anthony Joshua is saying himself. Anthony Joshua is quite a nice guy, he’s got a good future in boxing but it’s just far too early and it’s absolute rubbish. We already told Eddie Hearn if he wants Eddie Chambers — because we can’t get any fights for Chambers. We offered him Eddie for very little money and there was no response. Basically it’s just a PR bullshit spinning machine.
Joshua’s not ready to step up in that elite world class. We’ve seen what happens when David Price had a string of knockouts and he stepped up and look what happened. You can PR these fighters but the bottom line is, no matter how good Joshua is, and this is no disrespect to him at all, he’s simply not ready because he doesn’t have the experience.
He’s got one year as a professional, he’s a baby in the sport. He’s well, well behind Tyson. Unless he got a lucky punch — like every heavyweight is capable of — he’s got zero chance of beating the likes of Tyson Fury. He’s not been a professional for six years and fought some of the best in the division.
Robert Brown: Who would you like to see Joshua fight next?
Peter Fury: I think that Eddie Hearn is doing a good job with him, to get him in the type of fights where he’s got no chance of losing them. Basically he’s doing the right things with him, he’s just PR train at the moment but he’s doing all the right things with Joshua and he’s building him up quite nicely. That’s all I can say, but on a world level, he’s certainly not on our radar for at least a couple of years.
Robert Brown: Is David Price a good fight for him though?
Peter Fury: I think he would be. I think at the moment, David Price could be a bit soon for Anthony Joshua. I think it’ a good fight and it depends on how much David Price has come on recently, how much has David Price improved. There’s one thing for sure, Price can punch and I think it’s too early for Joshua to face somebody like Price at this certain time.
Robert Brown: I want to get your thoughts on the Devon Alexander vs. Amir Khan fight coming up, which looks like the eliminator for Mayweather. What do you think of the match?
Peter Fury: I’m going to pick Amir Khan to beat him.
Robert Brown: Do you give Khan a chance against Mayweather if he fights him in Floyd’s next fight?
Peter Fury: No, I don’t give Khan, Pacquiao or anybody a chance against Mayweather because Mayweather is that much of an elite fighter. I think all these fighters should be very happy to share the ring with him and get a massive payday.
I think Amir Khan has got a good a chance as any of the other challengers. Amir Khan is a very good boxer, he has a heart like a lion. He comes forward, you got to really pin him to the canvas because the kid’s got a good fighting heart. I like Amir Khan, I just think Floyd Mayweather is just a step above.
Every so often we get elite fighters and he happens to be one of these all time greats, he’s proved it time and time again. I think it’s not a fault or any disrespect to the other fighters he’s challenging, he’s just in that league all by himself. I don’t give Amir Khan, Devon Alexander or anybody out there a chance.
Robert Brown: You don’t think Manny Pacquiao could stand a chance with Mayweather?
Peter Fury: No, I don’t think Manny Pacquiao is gonna compete with Mayweather as well, I think Mayweather can beat Pacquiao.
Robert Brown: Do you think Floyd will fight Pacquiao in his last fight or do you think that fight is never gonna happen?
Peter Fury: I’m told they’re going to announce it any day. I’m told that it will happen — whether that’s true or not, I don’t know.
Robert Brown: Thank you for joining me and I’m sure your brother was smiling down from the heavens last Saturday night.
Peter Fury: That’s a great privilege to hear you speak this way because we’re all about the fans. Everything we do is in God’s name, we thank God for victory. We fight with the honor of the blessed lord, this is our foundation. We’re genuine people and we try to live our life as decent as possible. This is the way we go about our business in the fight business.
We are a warrior fighting family and I want to see my nephew pitted against the best because I believe he’s the best. We’re not a promotional gravy train, I want to put him against the very best out there, I want him to be an undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and go down in history. Nothing is guaranteed in life but we’re certainly gonna give it a good try. I’d like to thank all the fans around the world for all the support.
peter fury abnormal as long as the boxer can throw punches he has a chance to win, lucky punch mayweather going to sleep on the floor
Mr. Furry, you have so much confidence of Mr. The Best Excuses. Better share that over-confidence to Gayweather so she will finally have the guts to face Pacman
That’s the idea! To lure Floyd to take the bait!
If no chance of winning, what’s the use of fighting?
Just bet and collect your winnings in advance!
ur right mr. fuckin fury is abnormal , insane, m…fckr
have you forgotten?, this otr boxing, most of the guys interviewed here sided with money.. in their heart they know very well that fraud has no chance in hell to beat pacquiao.
So now you know in their heart, hey, Vegas has gambling, put your money on pac, there always a sucker born every day
Sorry gone are the days of pacman knocking people out unless mayweather stupid enough to fight at a catch weight and why would he do that
Dream on lol let manny fight a real fighter his last 2 fights wher against people that posed no threat. Fight canelo then floyd oh no manny is ko’d again lol.
that’s what you think Peter but bring out Floyd in front of Manny to find out that fury bulshxxxqqtt8888
Asshole Fury
ahahahaha! Gayman “broke” ostrich is not looking sharp anymore against class B 5 kph opponents. now she needs ARUM to fight Pacman to pay gazillion dollars to SHOWTIME
Well, if that’s what you believe. We boxing fans, is pleading to you, that you convinced your man to finally face Pacquiao inside the ring. And we will be indebted to you Mr. Furry, I mean Fairy, ahh whatever.
Stupid a fucking trainer
Please Mr. Fury ask Flodei Jr., to fight Manny… Please….
har har har har!!! Is Mayweathert invisible?? All he will do if ever fight Pacquiao is to run and shoulder roll!!
Exact amundo.
As long as a boxer can punch. He has a chance to win.
I think Mr. Peter Fury has been completely in loved on his idol, a false champion, Mayweather. Lined up into the list of dumbest personality in boxing with their leader of course, Mayweather.
who cares what you think and who the fuck are you….
better tell that to your duckling floydie,could only fight manny on instagram and twitter ,poor little rich boy.
I think Cotto just destroyed your girl, Mayweather in the ring. How much more if it is Pacquiao? A real pound for pound king is the fighter that fights any opponent being matched up to them, not cherry picking an opponent where he can safely win. Also, a real champion will fight his nemesis to prove that he is the best. No reasons, no ducking, no avoiding, will go to war blooded, rise from defeat, and reclaim his supremacy again. Knowledgeable people will call him great without claiming from himself that he is great. It’s history, legacy, an era.
another person who don’t know shit of boxing, u does’nt belong to the boxing world when you talking like that, put it in ur mind mr fury that every boxer has a big chance as long as he throw punches even you mr fury has a chance.
Don’t judge the book by its cover let’s wait for the right time
GAY TRAINER AGAIN…TOO MUCH RETARD AND FAGGOT…U CAN NOT EVEN BRING YOUR FIGHTER TO THE LEVEL OF FREDDIE…YOU ARE TALKING TOO MUCH…CONVINCE YOUR GAY LOVER WEATHER SO WE CAN SEE WHO WILL BE FUCK UP INSIDE THE RING…..DAMN YO…
When the battle begins , we just wait until the dust settles down and you will see who is standing after the war….not the defense oriented Gayweather but a battle tested Pacman….
wake up mr. fury!! u don’t know boxing. u lost sometimes, sometimes u win…
this trainer is aspiring to be a comedian but I am not even amused. Floyd elite fighter? hahaha absolute ducker maybe.
LOL HE SAID NO ! TO JOSHUA ! even if they pay tyson big from the cheque book.. read between the lines.. there scared of joshua.. instead there going to fight a top 15 fighter ?? are u serious.. these guys are a joke.. shame david haye couldnt get up for one more figth an totaly embarrasses this uncoordinated fool . .
THEN WHY IS THAT LIL FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS SO SCARED TO THE PACMAN??????????????????????????????????????????????
exactly! most critics does not believe pacquiao has a chance, except one person, that is floyd himself.. thats why he keeps on ducking.. stupid peter fury! up to now he does not believe floyd is ducking
Pete you forgot that u are only human who eat 3x aday.you are not a god to predict others destiny.let your coward boy step into the ring first with pacman
People always saying that Gay weather is the best boxer than any body else, then why afraid to face Pacman to prove he is really the best, prove it in the ring not in talking, Gay weather always make different kind of excuses when it comes to Pacman,, its very simple, this CHICKEN GAY WEATHER is a coward.
Peter Fury, are you stupid?, you can express your opinion whenever you want, but that will not change the opinion of all fans of boxing in general, we have seen how Mayweather almost beat by Maidana in their first match, the same with the second rematch. Do you know the big difference between Maidana and Pacquiao in hitting opponent?, very2 big difference, cuz Paquiao is a lot better than Maidana, that is why almost all who are good in Judging boxing, beat on Paquiao, Pacquiao definitely will beat Maywether,, and Mayweather is too much afraid, because he knows too that he has a very slim chances to win if he agreed to fight Paquiao. If not why he does not like to fight Paquiao?,, Mayweather is a Cherry Picker..
floyd is an elite….ducker…lol
You ducking pactard
fucking many loving dummy
When Manny fought barrerra the say Manny has no chance. When he fought Morales, marquez, hatton. Delahoya, Etc. they say manny has no chance. Now time and again this Floydiot giving Manny no chance against the runner. What can you say people?
Floyd’s Fake status will be exposed BIG TIME!
Can manny beat canelo? I can answer that for you that would be a hell no lol. floyd beat him easy. Floyd is bigger faster and smarter than manny and is going to knock his Lil midget ass out.
peter funny is very envious to pacman and roach….
Tyson fury is overrated so as floyd. Floyd was good in cherry picking and telling all his opponents to meet his condition, especially to require them to wear pillow gloves. The refs and judges also protected him in all his fights.
Peter Fury forgot his meds again.
mr. fury coward same TBE….
Time To fight ..no more excuses…you can at least run around the ring.
Floyd, your supreme ability to run and dance are the tools to beat Pacquiao. Caution, Never give Pacquiao a chance to catch you,!
Mr. Peter Fury,that means once Mayweather got the balls to agree of fighting Pacquiao,you can bet everything you have and sure will double your money…..I’m sure he will win by UD from running like Algieri….If you wanna bet,talk to Chavit Singson and for sure you will get a good deal.
Pacman to win
All of us has been fed up listening to these opinions about whose the best Manny or Floyd the scared shit! Why can’t Floyd scared shit just come up to fight Manny AND LET’S SEE IF HE CAN REAL STAND A CHANCE !!! LOL! I promise you that will be the most UNFORGETTABLE DAY of Floyd scared shit in his life and he will defo eat all what he spat out!!!!
His own boxer Tyson isnt worth a shit.How would any one put any credence in what he had to say anyway
?
Kissing ass to Floyd ….
Lmao…All look at all the butt hurt pactards. How they hated when the ppl that know more about boxing in their little pinky finger than all the pactards combined, speak the truth.
Last time I checked, I’ve yet to see Floyd face down, ass up in any of his fights, unlike Pac. Stop dickriding the dude. Floyd will deal with him when he feels like it.
yes because your idol Fraud is a chicken. a counter puncher so he does not take risk to destroy and entertain the fans.. Pacman is the man, the destroyer, exciting and entertains…imagine if boxers train to be the best defensive fighter like the Fraud.. Boxing would die..!!
Fraud best Boxer.. Pacman – BEST FIGHTER !! Fraud is a counter puncher.. runner, pot shot, straight right, win on pts. Defense does not win fights.. Fraud will know this when he fights the Pacman.. To much speed, angles, volume punching and power..
All time greats are destroyers like Pacman (Hearns, Duran, Tyson, etcc..)..Fraud is only a HOF…
Good! I just hope Floydie can read this and find the guts to fight Pacquiao!
Manny will KO gayweather in one round if he ever fight! But if he run around I give It 5 round for Manny to KO gayweather. But he will never fight Manny! or maybe he will! If he runs out of excuses. And those of you still dreaming of Gayweather beating Pacman? Just keep on dreaming!!!!
Mayweather is a paper champion. He picks and chooses his fights.. why the boxing commission has not already ordered Mayweather to fight Pacquiao is a royal bullshit mystery.
YOU GOTTA ADMIRE THE UNWAVERING
Unflinching and dogged confidence in Floyd of Pietro here. he really shouldn’t be hanging around Chris Algieri’s trainer too much. it will dull his mind and will be disastrous to his wards and students.
There’s a reason the man himself has been avoiding pacquiao for the biggest money for the longest time ya know…
Having said that, pacquiao diehards need to tone down and be CIVIL in their comments lest they be perceived to be a large representation of our people and that would be an even greater disaster.
“Much of an elite fighter.” I can’t understand why Mr. Fury called Mayweather an elite fighter when he picks his opponent and ducks all boxers that he knows has the potential to beat him. Pacquiao fight has long been overdue, if Mayweather is really that much of an elite fighter, then why not fight the Pacman and prove that claim on the ring with him.
Mr.Fury knows boxing better that you jealous ass Floyd haters. Pacquiao is going to get that ass beat. After that I want to see what you haters have to say. Lol
I think peter fury & Tim Lane has the same behavior, maybe they both suffer dellusion, illusion, or even schizo, I dont think they know what they are thinking, fury is so cocky, as well as tim lane look at what happen to algieri, tsk tsk tsk..
if no one including Pacquiao has a chance against mayweather why even fight then? The dude is invincible according to this expert. I guess Guerrero maidana Ortiz and the rest of them had a mug better chance I guess
Floyd will fight pacquiao in one condition. .. making the ring as big as football field.
This article can really make Floyd’s head much bigger than his balls. Fury is hallucinating and mesmerized by the best excuses of Floyd the quacking chicken.
This shoulf boost the confidence oh Floyd! We need more articles like this to make the fight happen.
Are you joking mr fury…
anonymous,did Floyd fuck your sister or something?you seem to have something personal against him.your always saying outrageous things about him.later for that macho shit.their both great fighters they have both earned much respect. it’s about money people their both at the end of their careers their last fight should be each other.Win or lose they will smile all the way to the bank. i don’t care who wins the fight their two great fighters let them make as much money as they can and hopefully retire healthy
..English Trainers, Commentators and Boxers are arrogant piece of shit. Men such as Peter Fury, Carl Froch, Teddy Atlas and Amir Khan are hilarious. When you speak with them you are talking to useless people who dont know shit. Tyson Fury after his triumph agaisnt Chisora that said he wants Wladimir Klistcho next. But who is Chisora compared to Klistcho? Tyson doesnt know shit! Hatton boasted that he would give Pacquiao a hell of a fight, but where he is now? Manny annihilated him in just 2 rounds. Khan is calling Pacquiao? he is a joke, Pacman drops him many times during sparring. blah, blah, blah……Floyd is above the level of elite fighters? nah, he is lower than his BALLS to fight Pacquiao!
Actually , I like what he said about mayweather beating pacquiao,,,could be a morale booster for mayweather you know. and it would be better if everybody says he could beat the midget,,,100% more morale boosting chorus for the TBE instead of having the best excuses. Coz we dont know whats the next excuse might be if PAC accepts even a low offer,,, remember, the trick is just to get him into the ring and finally fight the PAC and finally beat him into a bloody pulp.
Peter who? this kid can’t even fight and these clowns think they got it all figured out. Pacquaio would give mayweather one hell of a fight. either this moron got paid to say this crap or he’s just that stupid.
