00:19Thank you very much.
16:53And,
21:45Thank you,
24:15Yeah.
26:34God is good.
27:36I've been, I've been, you know,
28:06because, you know,
28:07I've been, you know,
28:39and I've been here, but you, you know,
28:40Tyson Fury, you've both been down on the canvas.
28:42Tyson Fury's been down on the canvas before,
28:44but he's like the undertaker.
28:46Like somehow he takes the biggest shot
28:49from the biggest puncher in the biggest moment
28:51in the last round.
28:52Get up.
28:53And he should be not dead.
28:54Let me hear it.
28:54And somehow he gets up.
28:56That's the energy.
28:57AJ, are you coming into this fight
29:00thinking you can be the man to keep him down?
29:03Only God can answer that.
29:04But I'm willing, I'm willing to take and take
29:09punch after punch
29:10and keep moving forward
29:12until my hand's raised.
29:14And I'm looking forward to it.
29:15I know it's going to be difficult.
29:16Not in the sense that I'm not capable,
29:18but I know every fight got its challenges.
29:21And I'm just looking forward to keep on pushing forward
29:23until I get that victory
29:24because it's just what's in me.
29:25I just can't wait.
29:27Tyson, you can win in so many ways.
29:29We've seen you box like Muhammad Ali.
29:31We've seen you go to Kronk
29:33and come out like Tommy Hearns.
29:36What's the strategy against AJ?
29:40I can tell you the strategy
29:41that I'm going to impose
29:42because that's what I do.
29:46I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
29:49I'm going to come out
29:50and I'm going to blast him out of there.
29:52Let's go.
29:53It will be gunfight at the OK Corral.
29:57And it will be the best man's going to win
30:00because I ain't going to run away.
30:02I'm not going to box.
30:03I'm going to throw down.
30:06And from what I'm seeing,
30:09I'm going to catch him.
30:11And when I do, it's going to be curtains.
30:15And that's it.
30:19What do you say there, AJ?
30:21Geertor.
30:22We love it.
30:23This is the energy that we want.
30:24This is a fight.
30:25There's nothing else I expect from this man
30:27than to say he's going to render me unconscious
30:29and do everything he can to stick me to the canvas.
30:31But this is what's going to keep me running.
30:33This is what's going to keep me sparring.
30:34This is what's going to make me do them extra rounds in the gym
30:36because I want to perform to prove to myself
30:39that what he says is not possible
30:41and for everyone that's coming out to support me
30:44to live up to the expectations that they have of me.
30:47Guys, do you feel, Tyson, I'll start with you.
30:50Do you feel like in the history of boxing,
30:53this is the biggest fight, I think, in British history.
30:56I think it's fair to say Glenox was in some big fights
30:59but against another British fighter,
31:01the biggest one was Frank Bruno,
31:03and respect to Frank Bruno,
31:04but he had not accomplished on the level
31:07that AJ has accomplished.
31:08So you really have two extremely accomplished
31:11heavyweight champions here.
31:12But what does it mean to you
31:14to be a part of the biggest fight
31:16in Great Britain's history?
31:18I wouldn't have it any other way.
31:20You know, there's been some brilliant fights
31:22in this country.
31:25And in the biggest division,
31:26the glory division of heavyweights,
31:28this is the biggest of today.
31:30I don't believe in comparing different eras
31:33and different times together.
31:34We can only be the biggest of our time
31:36and our generations and our cloth,
31:38as Mike would say.
31:40So, yeah, me and AJ is going to go there
31:42and throw down.
31:42And it's just, it's an unbelievable event
31:44because it's been simmering nicely
31:46for about a decade and a half.
31:49And it's been an unbelievable journey
31:51having both of us together
31:53and both coming from the same country
31:54and both going out there dominating,
31:56winning world championships
31:57and beating all the comers
32:00and all that sort of stuff.
32:01And we've had our ups and downs.
32:02You've all seen it live on TV.
32:04So finally now, towards the end of it all,
32:07we both get to fight each other
32:09on the world's biggest stage
32:10with the world's biggest broadcaster.
32:13And everyone's going to be there.
32:15And everybody's going to want to be there even more.
32:17And the tickets will probably sell out
32:19in about 39 seconds.
32:22And I don't blame him
32:23because as a boxing fan,
32:25which I am,
32:26this is the one that I would want to see
32:27more than any other fight in the world today.
32:30There isn't a fight out there
32:31that can even come close to the excitement
32:34and what's going to happen,
32:35the build-up, everything.
32:37It's just a whole event,
32:39a global event
32:41where everybody can watch it.
32:43And just to let you all know,
32:45this fight's available
32:47on your Netflix package.
32:50Berkey, I'll shake.
32:52I understand you have a few words.
32:55Sorry for the memory.
32:57There is one big point
32:59and one small point.
33:01One, the big point,
33:02I want to thank my father,
33:04Len,
33:05from DAZN
33:06to make this fight easy.
33:10You know,
33:10Len support boxing
33:11and support all the promoters
33:14and have been great partners.
33:17and he have a big contract
33:20with the champions
33:22and he allowed this fight to happen
33:24and this is,
33:25he needs to have the big thanks for that.
33:33The second,
33:35the second small things.
33:37Firzachi,
33:38what is this is close?
33:40You are in serious conference.
33:43You don't come to serious conference
33:45with a bathroom robe.
33:50When I found out,
33:52I was sitting next to Eddie Hearn,
33:53I decided to dress up for the occasion.
33:58AJ,
33:59the same question I asked Tyson,
34:00what does it mean to you
34:01to be,
34:02and Tyson makes a good point
34:03about it's on Netflix,
34:04it's a global event,
34:05but the point is
34:06it puts Great Britain center stage.
34:09What does it mean to you
34:10to be a part of the biggest fight
34:12in the history
34:13of boxing's birthplace?
34:17It's breathtaking
34:18and I'm not saying that lightly.
34:20I'm really grateful
34:22for this opportunity
34:23from His Excellency
34:24and his team,
34:26from Frank,
34:27from Eddie
34:28and the team
34:28for pulling this together,
34:29especially bringing it
34:30to Great Britain
34:30because I know
34:38honestly speaking,
34:39I know in pubs
34:41people have had
34:41proper fights
34:42about who's going to win
34:43out of me and Tyson.
34:45I know family members
34:46have fell out with each other
34:47about who's going to win.
34:49I know
34:50we're going to inspire
34:52this generation
34:52and I know for a fact
34:54we're going to inspire
34:54the next generation
34:55and that's why
34:56it was important
34:56because before anyone
34:57knew us internationally,
34:59when I was watching Tyson
35:01fighting John McDermott
35:02at leisure centers
35:03and so on,
35:04now on a global stage
35:05and achieve massive things,
35:07it was people
35:08from this country
35:09that had supported us
35:10and it's just amazing
35:11that we are participating
35:13and it's me,
35:13God gave me this opportunity.
35:15Before I was born,
35:16my destiny was written
35:17and I'm living up
35:18to the expectation
35:19that God has of me
35:20and I'm just happy
35:21to be here fighting
35:23and fulfilling my destiny
35:26before I depart this world.
35:27It's a blessing.
35:31Tyson, you've got to feel
35:32the same way.
35:32You're named after Mike Tyson
35:34right before his fight
35:35against Michael Spinks
35:36and you have to feel,
35:37from a bare-knuckle background,
35:39you have to feel
35:40that this is the meaning
35:41of your life.
35:43100% from a little kid
35:45that's all I ever wanted
35:46to do was be a fighter,
35:47be a world champion
35:50and I got the opportunity
35:51and I seized the moment
35:52and I was the most unlikely
35:54child to be a champion.
35:56Fat, awkward, gangly,
36:00all of the above
36:01and I never let anybody
36:03dissuade me on
36:05you can't do this,
36:06you can't do that,
36:07yada, yada, yada.
36:08I always push through
36:09when the odds were stacked
36:11against me
36:11for many different reasons
36:13and I'm just living proof
36:15that if you believe in yourself
36:17and you work hard
36:18and you dedicate your life
36:19to something,
36:20then no matter what you look like,
36:21what build you are,
36:22what background you come from,
36:24you can achieve anything
36:25because I stand here today
36:27as the most awkwardly built
36:28world everywhere champion
36:29in the history of sport.
36:31I'm a bald, fat, bearded,
36:33ugly, slow, ponderous,
36:35all of the above,
36:35whatever people want to say
36:36but at the end of the day,
36:38I get shit done,
36:39get shit done.
36:39It's true, it's true.
36:41Yeah, yeah.
36:42100% it's true
36:43and then you've got this guy here,
36:44he's carved in stone
36:46like an Olympian,
36:47made a marble
36:47and every time he gets cracked
36:49on the jaw,
36:49he falls over.
36:50I've been waiting for it.
36:51So that's also true.
36:52That's also true.
36:54That's also true.
36:57So,
36:57bills and stuff
36:58don't really mean anything.
36:59This man's built like an Adonis
37:01and built like a LeBronge
37:02but still,
37:04what I always say
37:05is you can't put muscles
37:06on the tash
37:07and when I crack him
37:08on that jaw
37:09with a big right hand,
37:10he's going to go down
37:10like a sack of shit.
37:12Yeah, talk.
37:13There we go.
37:14Let me hear it from this side.
37:15Come on.
37:18AJ,
37:19I'm just thinking about this fight
37:21like I'm picturing it.
37:23You've got to be the guy
37:24getting in on the taller man
37:25with the reach
37:26of the whole thing, right?
37:28Isn't that the plan
37:28to go at him?
37:30Yeah, like, you know,
37:31there's strategy
37:32and then there's passion.
37:33I've just got to be there
37:34from the first
37:35to the last minute,
37:36just be very well conditioned,
37:3715-round fit
37:39like the old school fighters
37:40and just do it
37:40the old school way.
37:41Calisthenics,
37:42running and sparring
37:43and just do my part
37:43in the fight
37:45to make it great.
37:46That's all it is.
37:46There's nothing more to it.
37:47Don't overcomplicate the matter.
37:48Just do what I've got to do
37:49to make it a great fight.
37:50I'll be a great dance partner
37:52for him.
37:53I'll be a good dance partner
37:54and we'll just give it our best.
37:56What do you say to people,
37:57like,
37:57this has been talk
37:59for years now
37:59when opponents of yours
38:00are trying to go at you
38:02or potential rivals.
38:03They say,
38:03he's a bodybuilder
38:05and everybody can't take a punch.
38:06What do you say to that?
38:07I don't know.
38:08Like, okay,
38:09you know,
38:10people,
38:11people have their views
38:12and their views are respected
38:13but that is their opinion.
38:15So what it is with me,
38:17I can only listen to myself.
38:19Nobody knows more
38:20about boxing than me.
38:21So whatever people say about me,
38:23I've just got to listen to myself
38:24and that's all there is to it.
38:25Nobody knows about boxing
38:26more than me.
38:27So, yeah.
38:28And what do you tell yourself?
38:29I'm great.
38:30I'm good.
38:31I'll be honest.
38:33I've been around.
38:34I've been to gym to gym.
38:36I've been from coach to coach.
38:38I've been with specialists
38:39of the gym.
38:39I've trained with some
38:40of the best fighters
38:41that there's ever been
38:41in this generation.
38:43And I can honestly say
38:45that I've learned so much
38:46and I can use it
38:47for every competition,
38:48especially this next one.
38:49I'm going to take everything
38:50that I've learned
38:51into this fight.
38:54Tyson, I know some fights
38:56you can be with an opponent
38:57and get under each other's skin
38:58and maybe there's some animosity
39:00and you guys are both
39:01competitive guys,
39:02but I've also seen before fights
39:04where you root for him
39:05because he's the British fighter.
39:07But do you expect the animosity
39:08to kick in soon
39:10or is this just going to be
39:12the way it is now,
39:13meaning you're fighting men,
39:15you've got to fight each other,
39:16but you respect each other
39:17and all that?
39:18Or does the Tyson Fury
39:19who starts to go a little nuts
39:21on the guy come out soon?
39:23Is that a hint
39:24you want me to go nuts
39:25on the guy?
39:25No, I'm asking.
39:26Because I can't.
39:28So here's the thing, yeah?
39:30In the build-up to this
39:31fighting press conference,
39:32Eddie and AJ were talking
39:33about landlords
39:34and fucking being the boss
39:35and being the Don Perrions.
39:37The Don Perrions.
39:39Being the governors
39:40and the owner of the boss,
39:42the rent man, all that.
39:44But when I look behind me,
39:45I only see one Don,
39:47Fury versus AJ.
39:48So now you've come time
39:49to collect your rent
39:50and I ain't fucking paying
39:52son because I'm number one.
39:54Uno.
39:55And I don't make a big thing
39:57about all that bullshit
39:58but considering yous have
40:00and Eddie's been spouting
40:01on about it,
40:02about how you're the governor
40:03and the paymaster
40:04and all that,
40:05but when I walk out
40:05and see Tyson Fury
40:06versus his opponent,
40:08Andy Joshua,
40:09an old Dosser,
40:09it works for me,
40:11then, yeah,
40:12I thought I'd have to highlight that.
40:13But that was a good little hint, Max.
40:15Why do you listen to all that stuff?
40:16Why do you listen to what
40:17Eddie's got to say?
40:17Why do you take it so personally?
40:19I don't take it personally.
40:20There's nothing Eddie could say
40:21or do that could ever
40:22make me think anything different.
40:24To me, Eddie earns
40:25just a sausage.
40:27And just so you know,
40:28by the way,
40:28I got a phone call
40:29the other night
40:30and they said,
40:31do you mind
40:31if Fury's name goes first
40:33because he's not willing
40:34to sign unless he does
40:35and I said,
40:36I don't want to lose this fight.
40:37No problem at all.
40:38Bullshit.
40:39I'm telling you the truth.
40:40Behind the scenes,
40:42yous have been crying
40:43like little girls
40:43about A-sides and B-sides.
40:45To get this fight
40:46in Great Britain.
40:46I want this.
40:47To get this fight
40:48in Great Britain.
40:49I want that.
40:50To get this fight
40:50in Great Britain.
40:51Yous have tried everything
40:52to get out this fight.
40:53No, we wanted to have
40:54every move in the book.
40:55And I've checkmated you.
40:56But Tyson, honestly.
40:57There's no more running.
40:58You've got to fight.
40:59That's it.
40:59I just wanted to get it
40:59in Great Britain.
41:00Wherever it was,
41:01I've always said,
41:02I don't care where it is,
41:04I'll fight any man anywhere.
41:05And I've been a man of my word.
41:06I've beat Deontay Wilder
41:07in America.
41:08Klitschko in thing.
41:09I've actually never won
41:10a world title here.
41:12So now the world title's
41:13on the line,
41:14it gives us a good opportunity
41:15to become a three-time champion,
41:17even one of us,
41:18on the night.
41:19So that's even better.
41:20Even better.
41:21Mm-hmm.
41:23But just remember
41:25that GK is number one.
41:27And yous don't own shit
41:28I'm the boss.
41:30Know that.
41:31Boss.
41:33And Eddie don't like that.
41:35He's fucking seething.
41:36What is it about you and Eddie?
41:37Yeah, what's the matter?
41:38What?
41:38What is it about you and Eddie?
41:39I see you.
41:40I haven't got a problem with Eddie.
41:41I would go out
41:42with a beer for Eddie
41:43any time of the day.
41:44Even right now,
41:45I'd go for a fucking pint with Eddie.
41:46I don't mind Eddie.
41:47I've got nothing against him.
41:49The man's been a good promoter
41:50and a good manager of you.
41:51He's sung your praises
41:52from the hilltops.
41:53So, yeah.
41:54But it's just
41:55when he's crying
41:56about bitchy stuff
41:57and trying to make this fight
41:58this, that and the other,
41:59I didn't care about anything.
42:00I said, right,
42:01just do it.
42:01Whatever you want.
42:02Let's go.
42:02Not bothered.
42:03And that's all it is.
42:04I haven't got a problem with Eddie.
42:06Have I ever been
42:07outside of trying to build
42:08a fight or sell a fight?
42:09I've never been rude
42:10towards Eddie ever.
42:11So respect.
42:12So respect.
42:12Thank you for your kind words.
42:14And I mean that.
42:15I would go for a beer
42:16with you today.
42:17Any time you want.
42:18Just holler at me
42:19and I'm there.
42:20Same with you, AJ.
42:21I hope,
42:22I don't know if you're
42:23a drinking man or what,
42:24but I hope after this fight
42:26we can have a pint
42:27of Guinness together.
42:28Win, lose, or draw,
42:29let's fucking bury the hatches
42:31and have a beer.
42:32Like men.
42:33Have a fight first
42:34and then have a beer.
42:36How's that sound?
42:37I don't know.
42:38I don't know if I can trust you.
42:40I don't know if I can trust you.
42:41The one thing about me, AJ,
42:43is you can trust me
42:44with your life.
42:45I've never robbed a man
42:46for a pound.
42:46I've never took a liberty
42:47on anybody in my whole life.
42:49There we go.
42:49That's a solid man.
42:51That's a solid man.
42:52Do you guys feel any,
42:54like, whoever wins this fight,
42:57whenever it takes place,
42:58however it goes down,
42:59whoever wins it,
43:00it colors the way
43:02people look back
43:03at this era
43:04of heavyweight boxing,
43:06especially of British boxers,
43:09right?
43:09When they look back,
43:10they see these two guys
43:11were heavyweight champions
43:13almost simultaneously
43:14because of different circumstances
43:16and they had this rivalry going
43:18and they talked about it
43:19for a decade,
43:20but when they eventually fought,
43:23this guy won.
43:24And that's going to change
43:25the way people perceive
43:27the whole era.
43:28Does that mean anything
43:29to either one of you guys?
43:30You asking me?
43:31I'm asking you first.
43:34Yeah, it does.
43:34It means a lot.
43:37Let's give some praise
43:38to Eddie Herndon.
43:39I know you want to give him
43:40some praise and respect.
43:41Go on, Eddie.
43:52I can't hear.
43:53We need you to be louder.
43:58Can we have some questions
43:59from the crowd?
44:00Do you mind that?
44:02Let's have some questions
44:03from the crowd.
44:04Go on.
44:04What's everyone say?
44:05One at a time, though.
44:06One at a time.
44:09Can't hear it.
44:09One at a time.
44:10Go on.
44:10What did you say?
44:11One in a white shirt.
44:12One in a white shirt.
44:13Go on.
44:17One set.
44:17One set.
44:18One set.
44:18We'll come to you next.
44:19One in a white shirt.
44:19What did you say?
44:20One in a white shirt.
44:28Do you not know
44:29it's in the UK?
44:30Are you punch drunk?
44:32Did I not say
44:32I'd fight any man anywhere
44:34in any country?
44:35So that's you
44:35who shot the fuck up,
44:36ain't it?
44:37Shut up,
44:38you little sausage.
44:39Next question.
44:40Next question.
44:41Go on, go on, go on.
44:43AJ,
44:44how many fights
44:45in total
44:45have you won
44:46in the US?
44:48How many?
44:48None.
44:49One, one, one, one, one.
44:51One on one.
44:52One on one.
44:53AJ.
44:54Yes.
44:54AJ.
44:55Where are you?
44:56Listen, I'm down here.
44:58Please.
44:58Wait, wait, wait, wait.
44:59Netflix, take the mic this time.
45:01Stop going over there.
45:02Take the mic this time.
45:03Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi.
45:05Please don't, don't leave this time.
45:09Don't leave.
45:09Yeah.
45:10Don't work out.
45:11Don't run.
45:12Don't run from this fight.
45:14We've been waiting for it 10 years,
45:16my friend.
45:16I respect you.
45:17I respect you.
45:19I respect you.
45:20Yes, sir.
45:23We can hear you, go on.
45:26Tyson, obviously, Rico from the Boxing Voice.
45:29Big up to him.
45:29Oh, no journalists.
45:31Oh, no.
45:32No journalists.
45:33Get the fuck out of here.
45:34Tyson, Tyson.
45:35Get the fuck out of here.
45:36Tyson, Tyson, this one's for you.
45:38If you do beat AJ,
45:40would you rank him ahead of Deontay Wilder regardless?
45:45Let me tell you something, yeah?
45:47All this ranking men.
45:48When two men go toe-to-toe and knock the fuck out of each other,
45:51there's no ranking involved.
45:53Every fight to every time you go in that ring
45:55is as important as the next one.
45:57And when I fight AJ,
45:58that'll be the most important fight of my life
46:00on that day, for sure.
46:01Guys, this is like,
46:04I know we're having fun,
46:05but this is serious business.
46:06And the reason it's serious business
46:08is not only the magnitude of the fight,
46:10but you're dealing with two champions
46:11who have shown in the past
46:13what they're willing to do to win a fight.
46:15That when they get knocked down
46:17late in a fight against dangerous punchers,
46:19they somehow, both of them,
46:21get up and they keep throwing bombs.
46:23And when this kind of pride is on the line,
46:26this is big, serious stuff.
46:29Like, these guys are prepared to go to war.
46:31When does that kick in, guys?
46:33That mentality kick in?
46:37We're ready.
46:38We're ready.
46:38It's going to be good.
46:39But from the first bell,
46:41we're ready.
46:42That's what that matters, first bell.
46:43Tyson?
46:44I'd agree with that, for sure.
46:46Listen, he's a fit man,
46:47and I'm a fit man.
46:49We're always ready to fight.
46:51I've said many times,
46:51I can be ready to fight whenever it is what it is.
46:54It's a boxing match at the end of the day
46:55for everything that's involved in boxing.
46:58I think it's...
46:59I was thinking about this last night,
47:01and I don't ever remember
47:03a bigger event in history.
47:04I think this is the biggest boxing event
47:05that's ever been.
47:06Ever.
47:07Commercially,
47:09viewing figures,
47:10everything.
47:10I think this is the biggest fight
47:11that's ever been,
47:12and I'm glad that I'm involved in it
47:13with AJ as well.
47:15Amazing.
47:15Amazing.
47:17And we're doing it here,
47:18and we're doing it in the United Kingdom.
47:21Guys, if there's nothing else...
47:23Max, how do you feel about that?
47:24I feel good about it.
47:26One of my favorite,
47:28maybe my favorite fight
47:29I've ever called ringside
47:30was your win against Klitschko.
47:32That was 100,000 people,
47:34the young heavyweight,
47:36facing the new guard,
47:37facing the old guard,
47:39both on the deck.
47:40You got up and won by knockout.
47:41It was amazing.
47:42What was that?
47:42That was a tough fight.
47:44I think I had about 18 fights at the time.
47:50Still fresh,
47:51still learning the trade.
47:52But when the opportunity was presented to me
47:54to fight for the WBA title
47:55and become unified champion,
47:57this is what we're supposed to do
47:58is step up to the plate.
47:59And it was all about bringing
48:00all these fighters to the UK
48:01and making British boxing great again.
48:03Honestly,
48:03it's been a passion of mine,
48:04and we want to inspire the next generation.
48:07No,
48:07I'm not just saying that
48:07for any type of clout.
48:09That's always been a priority of mine,
48:11and that's why we wanted to fight
48:13till the end
48:13because we want to keep these belts here.
48:15We want to put British boxing on the map
48:16and bring some respect over it.
48:18And it was the fact
48:19that you started fighting
48:20when you were 18,
48:21and you turned around,
48:22you had an Olympic gold
48:23super heavyweight championship,
48:25and then the world championship,
48:27and you did it all
48:28within a handful of years.
48:30And now already,
48:31you won the title 10 years ago,
48:33and we've been waiting for this
48:34for 10 years.
48:35Yes.
48:37We're here now, right?
48:3810 years in the making, you say?
48:40We're here now.
48:41Honestly, it's a blessing.
48:42And thank you to his team,
48:43his family,
48:43for keeping them
48:44on the straight and narrow.
48:45You know, for all those years,
48:4618 years of professional,
48:47and I've been keeping my head down,
48:49plugging away,
48:50and it had to happen at some stage,
48:52and there's no better time than now.
48:54Tyson, any closing thoughts?
48:57My closing...
48:59Sorry?
49:00Sorry?
49:02No what?
49:03Sorry?
49:06So I'd like to
49:07to take this opportunity
49:10to give a very special man
49:12a lot of credit,
49:13because, as we all know,
49:15this fight's been 10 years,
49:17some people say 15 years,
49:18whatever, in the making,
49:19and nobody on this planet's been able
49:21to make this fight at all.
49:23A very special man has come into boxing
49:26and completely made
49:27every big fight
49:28that everybody could ever dream of.
49:30All the big dream fights
49:31of the era have been made,
49:32and thanks to one man,
49:34His Excellency, Turkey Alsheikh.
49:37Stand up and take a bow, sir!
49:41Without him,
49:42I met this guy about three years ago,
49:44and he told me all of his dreams,
49:46what he wanted to do with boxing,
49:47and I was just blown away by it all.
49:49And we stand here three years later,
49:51and this is the final fight
49:52that he said he wanted to make
49:53all those years ago,
49:54and here we are.
49:55So credit to you, mate.
49:56Thank you, and God bless you.
49:58A proper legend in the boxing game.
50:00It is not me.
50:01It is not me.
50:02I have a great man behind me.
50:05Support me.
50:06My boss, God bless him,
50:08the crown prince.
50:09It is not about me.
50:14And yet,
50:15this fight was in the making
50:17ten years,
50:18and no one could get it done,
50:19and Turkey Alsheikh shows up
50:21three years ago,
50:22and you turn around,
50:23and here we are.
50:24It's not coincidence.
50:26By the way,
50:27let's hear from the promoters.
50:30Eddie,
50:30you have a...
50:32You're usually at a loss for words.
50:33I'm sure you don't want to hear...
50:35You have nothing to say?
50:37I'm good.
50:37I'm excited.
50:39I think, as Tyson said,
50:41Turkey,
50:41I know we might have fallen out
50:43a little bit over the last week or so,
50:44but I promise you,
50:46on December the 11th,
50:47this will be the greatest night
50:49you've ever had in boxing,
50:50and this is the biggest fight
50:51in boxing.
50:53I have one recommendation
50:55for Hollywood
50:56to have you as in the role
50:58of James Bond now.
50:59This is empty now.
51:01Listen,
51:02if you can make this happen,
51:04you can make that happen too.
51:06But what I will say is,
51:07on a serious note,
51:08I know when we've always talked
51:10about this fight,
51:11you envisaged this moment
51:12for British boxing.
51:13You've been part
51:14of those big moments.
51:15And what I'll say is,
51:17you be quiet over there,
51:18you're a very angry man.
51:19Right?
51:19What I'll say is,
51:20is I'll say this,
51:22and I'll give Tyson
51:24his respect as well,
51:24but this guy
51:26has changed the face
51:27of boxing in this country.
51:29Right?
51:29And so has Tyson Fury.
51:31Right?
51:32We are the envy
51:34of the boxing world.
51:36Right?
51:38Ultimately,
51:39what we can't do
51:40is take our two
51:41biggest ever fighters
51:42in the biggest moment
51:44in the sports history
51:46in this country
51:46and stage it anywhere else.
51:48And I know,
51:48I know you wanted it
51:50in the UK.
51:50And I had to fight...
51:52And I wanted it
51:52in Wembley.
51:54Yes.
51:54Tell the mire
51:55and tell the Aleppo.
51:56But we had to fight
51:57our corner
51:58and you will be so happy
51:59that the biggest fight
52:00in boxing
52:01will happen
52:02December the 11th
52:03in the UK.
52:04And thank you all
52:04to the British public
52:05for putting the pressure on
52:06and making sure
52:07we made it happen.
52:08Eddie, Eddie,
52:09you know,
52:10in the end,
52:11in the end,
52:13everyone care about
52:14the fight
52:15to happen,
52:16even in the moon.
52:17But we need
52:18to have it to happen.
52:19Listen,
52:20we couldn't do it.
52:21We failed.
52:22You come along.
52:23We need,
52:24we need
52:24all our hands
52:26to be together.
52:27Now I'm focused
52:28in boxing.
52:29Thanks,
52:30big thanks
52:31to the champion
52:32next to you,

53:00I just want to say
53:01as well,
53:01and thank you,
53:02your point was important.
53:03Two things.
53:03One,
53:04Bella from Netflix.
53:06I think without her
53:07over the last week or so,
53:08I'm not sure we would have
53:08got over the line.
53:10Lember,
53:10Vaknik and DAZN.
53:11Because don't forget,
53:12AJ is exclusive to DAZN.
53:13And they allowed
53:15this fight to happen.
53:16So finally,
53:16because you've got
53:17a very angry man up there,
53:18he's got to get home.
53:19I just want to say
53:20to AJ,
53:22top man.
53:23So proud of him.
53:24And Tyson,
53:25congratulations.
53:26It takes two to tango.
53:28I'll tell you something now.
53:29Excuse my language.
53:30It's fucking war
53:31on December the 11th
53:32in Cardiff.
53:32Come on!
53:35Frank Warren,
53:36ladies and gentlemen.
53:37Frank,
53:38you have some words?
53:41Good evening, everybody.
53:43I also would like to thank
53:48His Excellency.
53:49Without him being involved
53:51in this,
53:51he made it happen
53:52financially for the fighters.
53:55They're getting extremely
53:55well paid
53:56and great for them.
53:58He made it.
53:58He's a catalyst
53:59that made it happen.
54:00I want to thank
54:01Dr. Rakan and Sela
54:02for all the hard work
54:04they've done behind the scene.
54:05We worked together
54:06to get Cardiff,
54:07the Prince of Pilates Stadium,
54:09together to make sure
54:10it happened in the UK.
54:11Nick Khan,
54:13Brad Jacobs
54:14from Top Rank,
54:15the whole team
54:16who've been here
54:18and just turned
54:20this night
54:21into reality,
54:22this fight
54:23into reality.
54:24We're here now.
54:25We're going to see it
54:25on the 11th.
54:27You're going to see
54:27something special.
54:29Two icons
54:30of British boxing,
54:31two two-time world champions.
54:33Who's going to become
54:34the three-time world champion?
54:36It's going to be a great fight.
54:37As Eddie says,
54:38it's going to be a war.
54:39It's going to be more than war.
54:41There's pride at stake.
54:42These guys can both punch.
54:44This fight is going to be sensational.
54:47Do not miss it.
54:48Tickets on sale
54:49on the 9th.
54:51Midday,
54:52don't miss out
54:53because this is going to sell out
54:54like that
54:55and you are going to be
54:57entertained.
55:01Tyson Fury's manager,
55:02Spencer Brown.
55:03You want a word, Spencer?
55:05Yeah, I think
55:09Britain at the moment
55:10is in a bit of a decline
55:11and it's in a mess
55:13and we're all a bit depressed
55:14with it all.
55:15I think that this fight
55:18could bring it all back together
55:19and we could make,
55:20give us a bit of happiness
55:21at last.
55:25And I really feel,
55:26and I've got to say it,
55:27I've got to reiterate
55:28what Frank just said.
55:32Netflix,
55:33Seller,
55:35The Ring
55:36and there's only one man really.
55:39He's sitting there
55:40and he don't give himself
55:41enough adulation
55:43and he doesn't,
55:44he doesn't,
55:45he steps in the background
55:47and don't say a lot
55:47but without him,
55:49honestly,
55:50this fight would never,
55:51ever happen.
55:52So,
55:53Turkey Al-A-Shake,
55:54thank you very much.
55:58And this will be,
55:59this will be
56:00the biggest fight
56:01the country has ever seen.
56:04I know my money's on,
56:06it's going to be a great fight
56:07and the whole week,
56:10this whole week
56:11is going to be
56:11a big fight fan festival.
56:14It's going to be unbelievable.
56:15We're going to take it
56:17to a new level.
56:18I'm telling you.
56:19I'd like to thank
56:20Eddie,
56:21Anthony Joshua,
56:22Frank Warren,
56:22everybody.
56:24Don't blink
56:25because
56:26this is going to be huge.
56:28And if you can get involved,
