Will Tyson Fury be latest victim of Versace curse against Anthony Joshua after Conor McGregor

Posted by Aldo Pusey on Friday, May 31, 2024

TYSON FURY could in finding himself ruing the day he made up our minds to shop for his dear Versace dressing gown.

The Gypsy King has been sporting the swanky robe all through his Las Vegas training camp with Sugarhill steward.

But the dapper £355 robe – which comes in an array of colors – has brought bad good fortune to many fighters who've worn it ahead of.

UFC stars Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal and Israel Adesanya all tasted defeated after wearing the clothier garment.

McGregor first sported the robe forward of his 2017 boxing fit with Floyd Mayweather Jr, which he lost by the use of tenth-round TKO.

Masvidal, in the meantime, wore the similar robe at UFC 246 in a bid to get the Irishman’s consideration – which ended in him being brutally trolled via The Notorious.

And Gamebred would cross on to lose his subsequent two fights after rocking the housecoat.

UFC middleweight king Adesanya wore one forward of his ill-fated move as much as light-heavyweight to take on Jan Blachowicz, whom he suffered a unanimous resolution loss to.

The Versace curse hit nearer to house for Fury this previous weekend when his excellent buddy Billy Joe Saunders was beaten by means of Canelo Alvarez.

Brit Saunders rocked a black and gold version of the robe for his first face-off with the pound-for-pound king ultimate week.

And he ended up struggling an eighth-round TKO loss to the Mexican mauler, who shattered the Hatfield hitman’s orbital bone with a vicious counter uppercut.

Fury’s legion of fans will be hoping the curse doesn’t continue when he locks horns with Anthony Joshua.

But the 32-year-old is brimming with confidence forward of his conflict with the Olympian, announcing: “I will minimize Anthony Joshua down like a scorching knife via cheese.

“That’s how easy it’s going to be. That’s how simple it’s going to be.

“When he will get cracked with all them muscular tissues right within the jaw, it’s like getting a boiled egg with a break up down the middle, it will probably’t be repaired.

“He will move. I’ll even let you know what punch it’s going to be, I’ll even give my game plan away; it will be a check left hook immediately to the temple.

“His legs will pass and he’ll fall on his face. He may get back up and I’ll knock him out with the overhand right. Goodnight. Enough stated.”

The WBC king is ready to throw down with AJ in an undisputed heavyweight name combat in Saudi Arabia this summer season.

July 24 was the centered date, despite the fact that the contest is now slated for August 14.
