The world champion agrees to Tyson Fury’s call on one condition
WBC cruiserweight world champion Noel Mikaelian accepted Tyson Fury’s invitation to fight Tommy Fury, but on one condition.
Fury called on Mikaelian to fight his younger brother after Saturday’s victory over Eddie Hall.
“Tommy is a real fighter,” he said IFLTV.
“I’d like [WBC president] Mauricio Sulaiman to place him in the top 15 in the lithe heavyweight or cruiserweight division.
“I think Tommy would put up a good fight against Noel Mikaelian.
“I think Tommy has the potential to beat him.
“Tommy comes from the Fury family. Massive name, many fans.
“He earned a top-15 ranking by beating Jake Paul and should be able to do that again.
“I think there might be a world title opportunity for Tommy next.”
The Armenian regained the WBC title with a unanimous decision win over Badou Jack in a rematch in December after losing the belt to the Swede seven months earlier.
Mikaelian was ordered to defend his belt against the unified WBA and WBO champion, David Benavidezbut he insists that he would be willing to face “TNT” if his older brother agreed to face him later.
“Tyson Fury, the gypsy king,” the 35-year-old said in a video published by the website Ring Magazine.
“If your brother wants a title fight, I’m ready for it.
“I might do it next if Mauricio gives me a voluntary defense because I haven’t heard anything from the other team I was supposed to fight.
“But only if you promise to fight me next.”
Two-time world heavyweight champion Fury teased a statement from Zuffa Boxing CEO Dana White after attending UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Sunday.
White, who claimed he was promoting the Morecambe man’s long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua, said he would announce details of his links with the “Gypsy King” soon.
However, Fury’s manager Spencer Brown rejected such suggestions 37-year-old will sign with Zuffa, insisting he remain with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.
“He didn’t sign a contract with Zuffa Boxing,” he said Gareth Davies.
“It was all an illusion.
“He was invited to the fight weekend to go to the White House and meet with [US] President [Donald Trump].

“[Saudi Arabian boxing chief] Turki Alalshikh did everything for him.
“It’s that uncomplicated.
“There is no contract signed.
“Frank Warren is still his promoter, but Turki is underwriting his fights.”
Fury will most likely return in August and face “AJ” in November.
Joshua will fight on July 25 in Saudi Arabia, which will be his first fight since knocking out Jake Paul in December.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
