Tyson Fury lashes out at IBF
“You know what the IBF can do…I’ve already put their belt in the toilet,” WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury told Sky Sports. Fury is fuming because he was stripped by the IBF ten days after winning the title from Wladimir Klitschko, whereas newly crowned IBF champion Charles Martin is getting a full year to make a mandatory defense.
“What gets me is why take it off the linear heavyweight champion?” added Fury. “It’s their loss. It’s no longer my concern what they want to do with their belt and who they give it to. But the International Boxing Federation want that title back in America and it’s going to stay there for a while.”
Martin won the vacant IBF title when opponent Czar Glazkov quit in round three due to a torn ACL.
