Fury calls out the legend of the sport who’s been retired for a while now in a rather left field call out from a man who himself hasn’t boxed in some time.
Vitali Klitschko has appeared in the media quiet a bit this week at the 2017 WBC convention in Baku where he was attending.
This hasn’t gone unnoticed from one of his brother’s former opponents, and conquerors no less – Tyson Fury.
As things stand, former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s last fight was against Vitali’s brother Wladimir back in 2015 when Fury scored a points win in Germany.
Now he wants a piece of the older brother, and called him out of retirement with the following:

A subtle dig at Vitali’s ‘baby bro’ Wladimir, as Tyson phrases it.

He is unlikely to tempt the now politically-driven and government working Vitali Klitschko out of retirement one suspects.
What a career Vitali had, though. Here’s a quick stroll down memory lane of a man who always came to fight during his heavyweight career:
