Tyson Fury Fires Back At Tony Bellew's 'Stavros Flatley' Call Out

Tyson Fury has responded to Tony Bellew's call out in typically fiery fashion.

Bellew's rematch with David Haye has been postponed following the injury to the former heavyweight world champion. He sustained a bicep injury during training subsequently forcing him to withdraw from the proposed December 17th date.

As a result, Bellew is potentially looking for a new opponent if the rematch is scrapped.

Naturally, he's been on the receiving end of plenty of call-outs. Fellow stable mate Dillian Whyte issued a message, and Fury also wanted a piece of the 'Bomber'.

And on Soccer AM, Bellew responded to Fury calling him out by poking fun of him.

"I've got a massive interest in fighting 'Stavros Flatly' lookalike Tyson Fury to be honest," he said.

"Listen he's given me a hell of a lot of stick, as good as he is, but Stavros if you're out there, let's get it going.

"Everybody says I'm scared of big heavyweights, well they don't come any bigger than Stavros Flatley so listen I'm game to do it when you are.

Though Fury has fired back on social media. He posted the following message on Twitter: "I'm here bellend Tony Bellew I'm waiting on outcome of Ukad situation then I'm ready to move! to batter you!"
