Tyson Fury insists he is ready to prove Frank Maloney wrong when he takes on John McDermott for the English heavyweight title next month.
The 6ft 9in 21-year-old has recorded seven knockouts in his seven professional fights to date and is now gearing up for his first title challenge on September 11.
And, after revealing that he has fully recovered from his back injury, Fury has told promoter Maloney that he can expect a surprise.
"It will make a nice change for Frank Maloney to finally have a decent heavyweight on one of his shows," he said.
"I've watched some of the big lumps he's had on his shows recently and it's like watching Dumbo on Ice - they can barely stand upright, let alone throw punches.
"To be fair to John McDermott, he's the best of a bad lot with Maloney's heavyweights and, thankfully for him, he can fight a lot better than he looks."
Maloney suggested Fury's opponents to date have been 'ordinary' and accused the youngster of having a big mouth, but the boxer feels he can back up his claims.
"I might talk the talk but I walk the walk as well and I'll prove that against McDermott," he said.
"Maloney obviously believes that McDermott can beat me, but I think that just proves what I said before - what Maloney knows about heavyweights could be tattooed on the back of my big toe."

Re: TYSON: I'LL SURPRISE MALONEY
I get the feeling its all a bit tongue-in-cheek, when interviewed Tyson seems a nice enough fella. Besides, when was the last time being "respectful" got people talking? A bit of needle is generally good for promotion, though I have to admit, the comment about Maloney knowing nothing about heavyweights was pretty ignorant! 
A bet Maloney had a laugh at that one, having had Haye and Lewis previously under his wing, as pointed out.

MALONEY’S FURY AT TYSON
FRANK MALONEY has lashed out at rent-a-quote motormouth Tyson Fury.
FTM promoted John McDermott defends his English heavyweight title against the unbeaten pretender at the Brentwood Centre on Friday September 11.
Fury, unbeaten in seven fights has criticised the quality of heavyweight boxing on Maloney bills, but the promoter reckons the mouthy Mancunian must be suffering from amnesia.
Maloney said: “Perhaps Fury had a hard spar that day when he made those comments, and I’ll forgive him if he did.
“I would say my track record with heavyweights is better than anybody in British boxing.
“My work with Lennox Lewis is there for all to see and I helped discover Nikolai Valuev and John Ruiz – one great world champion and two decent ones.
“They aren’t bad fighters to have on your bills. Let’s be honest Fury wouldn’t have been allowed in the same city as Lennox, let alone ring!
“Domestically I got Julius Francis paydays, Fury can only dream of. I wonder if Tyson’s connections will do the same.”
And Maloney reckons Fury should be more worried about his own promoter, Mick Hennessy than what quality he has served up.
Maloney added: “Fury should worry for the future, because it is rumoured Mick will lose his TV deal at the end of the year.
“And if Mick had such belief in him, why did he get blown out of the water by me in the purse bids for this fight?
“Fury and Mick are quick to tell the world he is the greatest heavyweight hope in the world, but he obviously can’t be that valued because he is the away fighter in his first title fight.”
“Before Tyson starts telling everyone he is the best, he wants to prove he is the top heavyweight in the north-west.
“Didn’t David Price school him as an amateur or am I suffering from amnesia?”
McDermott (25-5) won the English crown with a sensational two round blast out of Pele Reid in April 2008 and will be making his first defence
In the chief support a battle of little big men sees St Helens Gary Davies (9-2-1) risks his British bantamweight title against Ian Napa (18-7).
Tickets for the show priced £90 (ringside) and £35 (body of the hall) are available from http://www.frankmaloney.com and 0871 226 1508. There is a discount for those who buy from the web.

Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
The Heavyweight Wisdom of Frank Maloney:
On Larry Olubamiwo (prior to his defeat by Daniil Peret, a man stopped in two rounds by Tyson Fury): “I believe in Larry Olubamiwo, I may have discovered another Earnie Shavers”
On Scott Belshaw, also stopped in 2 rounds by Tyson Fury: “His commitment and dedication is the same as Lennox Lewis. He will be the richest sportsman ever.”
On Lennox Lewis: “Unfortunately, after what happened in South Africa, no matter whether he gets his revenge over Rahman, he will never go down in history as one of the greats. Lewis will never be up there in boxing's hall of fame.”
On Lennox Lewis yesterday: “One great World Champion” (When it suits obviously)
Heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury has hit back at promoter Frank Maloney ahead of his English title clash with John McDermott in Brentwood on September 11th. Fury has knocked out all 7 of his professional opponents to date and he’s promising to do the same to McDermott and prove to Maloney that he’s much more than a “rent a quote motor mouth.”
The man once referred to as the “Mental Midget” by Don King has recently been bragging about his involvement with three heavyweight champs, Lennox Lewis, John Ruiz and Nikolay Valuev but Fury is unimpressed.
“Coming from Maloney I think calling me a ‘rent a quote motor mouth’ is a bit rich,” said Fury. “That’s essentially what he was for Lennox Lewis. In my opinion Maloney’s role with Lennox was little more than a court jester. He was basically a mouth in a Union Jack suit running around embarrassing himself like some kind of over excited novelty mascot.
“Lennox Lewis was a great fighter and was destined for greatness regardless of who was involved with him. In my opinion it was a case of him being in the right place at the right time, my pet dog could have done what Maloney did for Lewis and he’s blind and only has three legs.
“As for talking about Ruiz and Valuev if Maloney is such a heavyweight expert how come his involvement with them stopped long before they ever got near the heavyweight title? Claiming those two fighters is in my opinion even worse than what he has claimed to have done for David Haye’s career except that for some reason I never hear David giving him too much credit.
“He’s not getting any better either. He made a big fuss at the start of the year about signing three big heavyweights and he’s already got two of them beaten. He said Scott Belshaw was going to be the next George Foreman and the richest athlete on the planet. He must have meant the richest athlete on whatever planet Maloney’s living on because I blew Belshaw away inside 2 rounds.
“He signed another big guy from Sheffield called Dave Howe to a 3 year contract and he got knocked out in less than a minute by Dave Ingleby, a guy who’s not even allowed to spar with me.”
Fury and Maloney will cross paths in Brentwood next month after Maloney won the purse bids to stage the Fury – McDermott contest. “I think Maloney’s finally realised that he needs a decent heavyweight on one of his shows. He’s probably fed up with seeing his own heavyweight ‘prospects’ fall over and in my opinion his shows lately have been headlined by mostly dull fights between little flyweights and bantamweights.
“You can fool some of the people some of the time and I think even Maloney realises it’s time he put on a decent main event again. It might only be for the English title but it’s interesting that the British Bantamweight title fight between Gary Davies and Ian Napa has been relegated to the undercard so I think that shows what kind of impact I’ve had considering I only turned pro last December.
“I can guarantee you that Maloney will end up with egg all over his face again when I smash McDermott and he’ll be paying me for the privilege of having me box on his show. My own promoter, Mick Hennessy has kept me very busy since turning pro and this is a chance for me to impress a whole new audience.”
Hennessy says he has no concerns about Fury boxing on another promoter’s show. “Maloney comes up trumps for us every few years and I’d like to thank him for helping me to build Tyson’s career even if he doesn’t know it and it’s only for one fight. I just hope there’s no excuses from Maloney and McDermott and they turn up.
“We pushed for Tyson to be made the mandatory for the English title because we wanted the fight. We lost the bid but we’re happy to honour the result of the bids because we want to see Tyson progress.
“It’s a great sign Maloney winning with a big purse bid. The last time he did that was for the Carl Froch – Brian Magee fight a few years back and he was talking rubbish about that one as well.”

Hennessy says he has no concerns about Fury boxing on another promoter’s show. “Maloney comes up trumps for us every few years and I’d like to thank him for helping me to build Tyson’s career even if he doesn’t know it and it’s only for one fight. I just hope there’s no excuses from Maloney and McDermott and they turn up.
“We pushed for Tyson to be made the mandatory for the English title because we wanted the fight. We lost the bid but we’re happy to honour the result of the bids because we want to see Tyson progress.
“It’s a great sign Maloney winning with a big purse bid. The last time he did that was for the Carl Froch – Brian Magee fight a few years back and he was talking rubbish about that one as well.”
My job as a promoter is to give television and the public, the best fights possible and if my man wins it is a bonus, if the other guy wins I am still in business as I believe I know what the public want - there is only two real promoters out there - the two Franks !
Hennessy broke all purse bid records for the Macklin fight but still has not got it, before you can call yourself a promoter you need to know the political minefield you are going to go through, to quote a great promoter like Don King "when god gave out brains, you believed your team were the only ones in the room" sorry to disappoint you but he shared the brain cells around to others aswell
To quote "Fury has knocked out all 7 of his professional opponents to date and he’s promising to do the same to McDermott and prove to Maloney that he’s much more than a “rent a quote motor mouth.”" my grandmother, who has been dead for the last seven years, could raise from the ashes and still knock out those seven opponents, my ex-mother in-law could mutilate all seven in one night !!!!! If you fight as well as you talk Mr Fury, it's looking to be an easy night for you, but lets hope your training is going as well as your jaw is wrapping, if so your jaw will be full of ripped muscles.
see you on September 11th - may the best man win on the night

Curtis McCormick vs Jason Frost looms as more exciting.

So your dead grandmother could beat Scott Belshaw? Thats not a nice way to speak about a fighter you thought was destined for big things surely? Your dead grandmother could beat Peret yet big Larry couldn't?? Surely a bit disrespectful towards the war machine?

Re: Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
Fury has a point.
I remember Maloney being interviewed after Tyson destroyed Julius Francis, "Julius Francis showed how Lennox Lewis will destroy Mike Tyson".
After Lennox Lewis fired Maloney; "I believe Mike Tyson will KO Lennox Lewis".

Re: Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
I have to agree with Tyson fury on this one, Malony is a fool in a Union Jack suit!
Also Malony you just said that the only real promoters are the two Franks.
You just showed us where your coming from mate, not a great great point on your part.
Maybe you think promoting is ripping off your fighters too.
You have to admit that your outfit is a bit of joke these days, not one real World Class fighter.
you come off very unprofessional messaging people on these boards,

Re: Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
Is this Dude FRANK MALONEY than?This is great keep selling the show, yes I did win these two purse bids, maybe thats why I have got a long term television deal and Hennessy Sport have not.

Re: TYSON: I'LL SURPRISE MALONEY
josh fg wrote:hmm Maloney who managed at times Lennox Lewis and David Haye knows nothing about heavyweights.... oh I wish fury would shut up and just fight!StingLikeABee wrote:Tyson Fury insists he is ready to prove Frank Maloney wrong when he takes on John McDermott for the English heavyweight title next month.
The 6ft 9in 21-year-old has recorded seven knockouts in his seven professional fights to date and is now gearing up for his first title challenge on September 11.
And, after revealing that he has fully recovered from his back injury, Fury has told promoter Maloney that he can expect a surprise.
"It will make a nice change for Frank Maloney to finally have a decent heavyweight on one of his shows," he said.
"I've watched some of the big lumps he's had on his shows recently and it's like watching Dumbo on Ice - they can barely stand upright, let alone throw punches.
"To be fair to John McDermott, he's the best of a bad lot with Maloney's heavyweights and, thankfully for him, he can fight a lot better than he looks."
Maloney suggested Fury's opponents to date have been 'ordinary' and accused the youngster of having a big mouth, but the boxer feels he can back up his claims.
"I might talk the talk but I walk the walk as well and I'll prove that against McDermott," he said.
"Maloney obviously believes that McDermott can beat me, but I think that just proves what I said before - what Maloney knows about heavyweights could be tattooed on the back of my big toe."
Hey?! Frank has never managed David Haye, it has always been Adam Booth.

Re: Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
Coming on a message board is professional? lol
Maybe to do a Q & A or interact with fans in a positive way
, but to give stick to a fighter and promoter
what a joker!

Re: Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
FTM Sports released Scott Belshaw after he beat Peret due to the fact that he was homesick and could not take the strict training regime a fighter has to undergo to reach the top and if he was still under our contract he would not have gone in against Fury in that condition and without first class sparring.doctorboxing wrote:[
Lets hope Fury does not become a heavyweight version of David Walker a talented fighter moved too fast trying to secure a TV contract.
Re: Tyson directs Fury at Maloney’s Baloney
You obviously never the Sky Production of this fight Maloney did say in the build up that he hoped Tyson would KO Lewis but that was said due to the fall out, but actually on the night, on Sky Maloney came out and said 'taking out all the rubbish and bad feeling that has gone on between himself and the Lewis Team namely (Adrian Ogun) Maloney predicted Lewis looks the sharper more positive and I would not be surprised to see him stop Tyson.opticald wrote:Fury has a point.

This can be backed up by the Sky recording. I am sure lots of other managers and promoters have said negative things after things have gone sour, it is much like a marriage break up your mouth goes into geare before your brain.
