Tommy Fury shuts down potential fight against unbeaten British rivalDAZN

Tommy Fury has no interest in partaking in a domestic clash against Viddal Riley.  

Currently in discussions for a lucrative clash against KSI, it appears that Fury’s immediate future is likely to remain in the world of crossover boxing with the popular YouTuber the current favourite to be Fury’s next opponent. 

Riley, a YouTube and internet personality himself, has taken big steps in recent years to be identified as a professional boxer and he’s built a decent record for himself with outings promoted by Boxxer on Sky Sports.  

Eager to face Fury, Riley is doing all the right things in the ring, but at this moment, Fury has no interest in accepting the challenge. 

"No disrespect but Viddal's fighting a lot lower than me,” said Fury when speaking to Sky Sports

“Say what you want about opposition but I'm fighting on a world championship level. I'm doing millions of pay-per-view buys with all these big names. 

"I'm not going to be foolish and drop down and fight Viddal Riley in York Hall, am I? At the end of the day, all due respect to him but he's not a big enough draw.”
