Tyson Fury issues fight challenge to 50 YouTube streamers and explains rules
Tyson Fury says he is willing to fight 50 YouTube boxers on the same night.
Unbeaten heavyweight boxer Fury first fought professionally in 2008 and has a record of 33-0. The Gypsy King is set to face fellow world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in a unification bout, but the fight has been continually pushed back and could face a further delay.
In the meantime, Fury has created an interesting fight night idea which would surely attract a huge crowd. With YouTube fights and the Misfits Boxing promotion on the rise the Gypsy King wants to fight 'them all at once'.
“Yes, I’d fight them all at once,” the British heavyweight told the Daily Star Sport. “I don’t know how many YouTube boxers there are. But, let’s say there are 50 of them. What we will do is get all 50 of them in a row and then put them all in for a round each."
The Gypsy King's brother Tommy Fury is taking on YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul later this month as the rivals finally settle their bitter feud in Saudi Arabia on February 26.

The unbeaten heavyweight has vowed to leave his brother in the Middle East if he loses to Paul, who has previously fought against MMA fighters and YouTubers.
"I’ll leave Tommy in Saudi Arabia. He can become Cristiano Ronaldo ’s best pal and he can be a PT for Ronaldo in Saudi," he told JOE. "The two guys are putting it on. They’re both undefeated and whoever loses is pretty much f***ed I'd say, because they have both had a lot to say.

Jake Paul is already fighting a Fury (TIKTOK@)Fury lives in Morecambe with wife Paris and their children and previously said he would rather watch a pub fight in his hometown than YouTube boxing. During an appearance on the True Georgie podcast Fury was asked if he had seen KSI's most recent fight with the YouTube star also wanting to fight his brother.
"I don't watch all that YouTube stuff," Fury said. "Not that I've got anything against it, I think it's great for the sport and the people who do it.
"[It's] great for everybody but it's not my cup of tea. If I want to see a real fight, I go down to a Morecambe boozer on a Friday night and I watch a fight."
