As a warm-up fight because that’s all he is. A little fat bum dosser,” Fury said to iFL TV. “Although he knocked out the bodybuilder, he wouldn’t come close to me. I’d punch his head right in. “But they asked for ridiculous numbers, like numbers that they can’t generate. Do you know what I mean? This is not a stadium show. It’s just initially a keep-busy fight, back in the ring action job. So…
