The Manchester boxer stated that he had concerns over Till sticking to the rules, as the former UFC star had previously stated he would head kick his opponent should he be down on the scorecards.
During a recent interview with The Stomping Ground, Fury shed further light on his decision as well throw a number of accusations towards 'The Gorilla'. He said:
"The way he was going about it was so stupid. I was going to let it go at the press conference...But then my manager rang me a few days afterwards and he's like, 'This fella's talking to betting companies about if he's losing the fight he's gonna do this, and if he's losing the fight he's gonna do that.' I then saw his first fight, I hadn't watched it at the time, and that ended in some big brawl and I thought to myself, 'What am I doing?'"

#2. Daniel Dubois discusses potential Anthony Joshua rematch
Daniel Dubois isn't so sure a rematch with Anthony Joshua is happening, after recently stating 'AJ' had gone quiet since their bout.
Dubois stunned the world when he faced-off against Joshua back in September, dropping the 35-year-old on multiple occasions before finishing him in the fifth round to defend his IBF heavyweight belt.
There had then been discussions about an immediate rematch, however, according to 'DDD', those talks have now gone cold. Speaking to iFL TV, Dubois said:
"I wasn't losing any sleep over [the Anthony Joshua rematch]. Maybe that fight can happen again down the line, who knows. We still haven't found 'AJ' yet, so who knows. Bring him on. But right now I'm looking for the undisputed, the winner of [Usyk vs. Fury]. Taking one of them. Big things."
