To be Frank, I've had enough

TYSON FURY insists he will ram Frank Maloney's taunts back down his throat.

Maloney was livid when Fury was handed a points victory over John McDermott in September.

The promoter immediately lodged an appeal with the British Boxing Board of Control against referee Terry O'Connor's decision.

As a result, Fury and McDermott have been ordered to face each other again to clear up the controversy.

But Fury believes Maloney has taken things too far - even if he felt he was acting in the best interests of his fighter.

The unbeaten 21-year-old said: "It was a close fight, don't get me wrong, but I did think I'd won it.

"Maloney's going to have a lot to say because it was his fighter who ended up losing.

"Everyone's got a different opinion but he's gone a bit too far with this one.

"He's had decisions go against him before, as well as for him, so he should just get on with it.

"The way he's gone on this time is ridiculous. Everyone I've spoken to thought it was a close fight and could have gone either way, so I don't know what's on about.

"He's saying McDermott was four rounds up going into the 12th.

"But I've listened to the tape and you can hear McDermott's corner saying to him, 'John, you've been in this situation before, you don't want to go home crying, so go out there and win it'.

"Now that's not the speech you give a man who's four rounds up.

"If you're four rounds up, you just tell your fighter he's got it in the bag and all he needs to do is keep his hands up and he's won the fight."

A date is yet to be set for the rematch as Fury picked up a hand injury in his win against Tomas Mrazek in Dublin on September 26.

But the 6ft 7in bruiser is back in training and keen to erase any doubt by knocking out McDermott when they meet again.

He added: "I'm more determined than ever now to win the rematch.

"I let my heart get in the way of my boxing skills the last time we fought and I wasn't too bothered about my technique.

"It wasn't a boxing exhibition from me, I was thinking more about getting stuck in and having a go.

"But that's not me, I'm a skilled boxer, so next time I'm just going to box his ears off and stop him."

With McDermott out of the way once and for all, Fury will set his sights on the likes of Sam Sexton, Martin Rogan and British champion Danny Williams.

But he has ruled out a clash with Prizefighter winner Audley Harrison.

Fury said: "Harrison's not really someone I've got on my radar. To be honest with you, he's past it.

"I don't need him and he hasn't got anything I want.

"If he manages to get something I want, then we could probably do a fight."
