Former victim Tyson Fury shares words of wisdom with Alexander Volkanovski on overcoming mental health concerns

Tyson Fury recently weighed in on Alexander Volkanovski's post-fight interview following his loss to Islam Makhachev this past Saturday at UFC 294, where he opened up about his mental health struggles when he's not actively competing.

While speaking to journalist Oscar Willis, the heavyweight boxing champion drew comparisons to himself as he noted that he has been in a similar situation as he hasn't competed since last December. 'The Gypsy King' mentioned that there was plenty of uncertainty surrounding his own career, but that has now changed.

He said:

"I have been in that situation all year, I've not boxed since last year, early December of [20]22. And I didn't even know, a lot of uncertainty if I would even box again and then right out of the blue, all of this has come and here we are. I've not got one fight but two fights lined up."

Tyson Fury continued by sharing some encouraging words for the reigning UFC featherweight champion. He mentioned that Alexander Volkanovski should return to the octagon and do what he does best:

"What I'd say to Alexander [Volkanovski] is keep going. You know, he's a very good professional athlete and you win some, you lose some. Dust yourself off and kick a**."

It will be interesting to see how soon the UFC will book Alexander Volkanovski's next fight. It appears as though 'Volk' shares Tyson Fury's view on getting back into competition.

Tyson Fury dismisses idea of future bout against Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury recently dismissed the idea of a future bout against Anthony Joshua despite the heavyweights being linked to one another for years.

While speaking to iFL TV, 'The Gypsy King' sounded off on Joshua and noted that he's no longer interested in fighting him. He mentioned that he hasn't been impressed by his performances and even labeled him as a journeyman:

"There is no Anthony Joshua to me, is there?...The man's a gym sweeper. Sweeps the gym floors and that. Gets beat up on by people. He's like an old journeyman now. If you're a decent heavyweight, you want to beat up on somebody, call him out, beat him easy...I'm on to the big fights. And I don't mean beaten men. I'm on about the big boys."
