Regardless of doubtlessly dropping his titles within the battle, Fury appeared assured, as he advised iFL TV: ‘I do not suppose it’s a powerful battle. I do not suppose it is nowhere close to as powerful as outdated Del Boy.
‘He won’t stand as much as these punches that Derek did towards me. After I watch the battle between him and Derek, whether or not individuals need to admit it or not, it was a 50/50 battle.
‘It may need been 55/45, but it surely wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t like he did not win a spherical, like he did not towards me.’
The 34-year-old went on to elucidate how he felt undefeatable, including: ‘There’s not a person born that may beat me and I will stand and show it towards anyone.
