And Fury – the brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson – vowed to make The Problem Child pay for his words in double quick time.
In an exclusive interview with SunSport, he said: “I think we all know Tyson by now – and my dad – we all know how to sell pay-per-views, we all know how to hype a fight.
“I think that’s all that is really.
“My dad and Tyson both know what’s going to happen in this fight, Tyson’s been there ever since I started boxing, so has my dad.
“They know what I’m capable of, they know what my opponent is capable of.
“And it’s going to be quite an easy night’s work.”
