Tyson Fury on becoming the undisputed Heavyweight Champion

Tyson Fury recently discussed his aspirations to become the world's undisputed Heavyweight Champion. In an interview with Gareth A. Davies, Fury said:

"Now I've always said, you know what my opinion is on undisputed and all of that stuff, and pound-for-pound. It's not something that I'm really interested in, but other people around me are more interested in undisputed, whatever that means, than I am. Never really been interested in it, don't think I ever will be, means nothing to me, I've won all the belts anyway."

Watch the interview below:

In his second title defense, 'The Gypsy King' will face Dillian Whyte. If he defeats Whyte, he will most likely challenge the winner of Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk II for all of the Heavyweight belts.

Since neither of the two fights have a rematch clause, the winners of Fury vs. Whyte and Joshua vs. Usyk II are free to fight whoever they want.

Only time will tell if 'The Gypsy King' will get another chance to wrap all of the belts around his waist.
