JAKARTA - Heavy boxing world champion Tyson Fury has caused a stir in the mass media. The British boxer reportedly almost sealed the fight schedule against Australian cruiserweight fighter Jai Opetaia.
Fury has not met a candidate for him to face after talks with Oleksandr Usyk failed earlier this year.
The 34-year-old boxer made a surprising confession. He is ready to fight in Australia and is looking for a potential place and opponent.
"I'm very interested, maybe even my next fight, here. I haven't got an opponent yet, so we're going to find out," Fury said, as reported by The Sun.
"Australians have always been crazy boxing fans, so it would be great to get the Gypsy King Down Under," he continued.
One of the candidates is the IBF Opetaia cruiserweight champion. In fact, Tasman Fighters reported that the agreement had been agreed upon.
Meanwhile Fury himself emphasized that Demsey McKean is one of the favorites of his potential opponent, with his perfect left-handed style.
"McKean is a heavyweight of ten and must be one of the pioneers," said Fury, some time ago.

But Opetaia manager Mick Francis believes his fighter will fight Fury. He also believes the Australian fighter can match the King ofTEN.
"It's a legitimate fight. Tyson Fury won't fall down. It's a fight that will travel a distance, it will be an absolute war," he said.
"It's all about money and you can't expect a better domestic fight. Jai has nothing to prove in the cruiserweight division and he will fight in an instant," he continued.
