      “I don’t know if people have seen the documentary, but if you look from the start to where we are now, the work that has gone into it, people do not see.

      Tommy Fury called out by Viddal Riley as YouTube and boxing star questions Love Islander’s world title ambitions

      by

      VIDDAL RILEY has called out Tommy Fury as he tries to force a fight with the former Love Island star. Riley, who previously coached YouTuber KSI, has made it clear he wants to fight Fury because of the pair’s tight WBC rankings.
      Viddal Riley is ranked at 40 in the WBC rankings
      Fury achieved a ranking of 38 following his pay-per-view bout with the controversial Jake Paul which he won on points after eight rounds.
      Riley, ranked 40, took to YouTube to call out the 23-year-old whist poking at his ambitions to become a world champion in the process.
      He said: “I’m ranked number 40, Tommy is actually ranked 38, I’ve seen him say in multiple interviews: ‘My goal is to be a world champion’.
      “He preaches that he wants to be a world champion. I am not currently world championship quality. I have the potential to be – and I will get there – but as it stands I’m not.

      “So if you have aspirations of being a world champion, as do I, we are close in ranking, it would be a massive fight, the people would turn out. People would turn out for you.
      “People would turn out for me. If that’s your aspiration, why look anywhere else?”
      Riley has an undefeated record himself and has won five of his eight fights by knockout.
      The cruiser-weight fighter went on in his video to suggest that Fury doesn’t want the battle.

      He said: “I’ve mentioned [Fury’s] name multiple times and I’ve never heard a response which can only be for one reason,
      “I’ve always said I’m going to be a world champion, I’m going to reach the top and you don’t go from zero or not recognised to number one.
      “There’s a process. The fact that I’m now ranked number 40 in the world with a professional boxing governing body means that I am en route.”
      Fury, who is the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, could still have to fight Jake Paul again with a rematch still an option.
      The Manchester born TV personality is yet to respond to the call out made by Riley. More

      Fury’s painful decision to leave his first child behind was criticised by some, who claimed his priorities weren’t in the right place.
      But the 23-year-old insists Bambi’s future was at the forefront of his mind when he went and boxed for a multi-million-pound payday.
      During an appearance on Loose Women, TNT said: “I’m not bothered about anyone’s opinion, to be honest.
      “As long as my family and my missus and my children think I’m doing alright, that’s all that matters to me.

      “And people can say what they want, but I’m away for her, to make sure she has a better future.”
      The decision to leave his bundle of joy weighed heavy on Fury, who admitted: “It was very tough there was a lot going on in this build-up to this.
      “Obviously, Bambi, my little girl, was born six weeks ago. So I was kind of having a lot of FaceTime calls.
      ‘But I was constantly switching trying to be a fighting, aggressive man getting ready for war and then trying to be the daddy, trying to split myself into a million pieces.

      “And you just can’t do it, so there was a lot of phone calls, a lot of conversations but we got through it.”
      Fury’s sacrifice proved to be worth it as he beat Paul via split decision and banked millions of pounds.
      A summer rematch with Paul is reportedly in the works, with Fury confident he’ll win the bout in a more emphatic fashion.
      He said: “I believe in the rematch I will stop him.
      “You know [in] the first fight I’ve never been eight rounds before so you’re just a bit weary of what’s in your tank and how the fight is going to go.
      “But I’ve now been in the ring with him once, I know what to expect.” More
