Tyson Fury Calls Out Former Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko

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.

Recently Fury tweeted with the use of a hashtag that his suspension has been lifted and that a return is imminent. No official announcement other than this has been forthcoming as of yet however.

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:
