B4 SPORTS East Oregonian Saturday, June 15, 2019 Sin City suits him: Tyson Fury makes Vegas debut vs. Schwarz By GREG BEACHAM Associated Press Although Tyson Fury is the heavyweight division’s lineal champion and one of its best fi ghters in recent years, this British behemoth would be a gifted entertainer in just about any arena. Whether he’s performing with brute grace inside the ring or poignantly retelling the story of his battles with substance abuse and depres- sion outside it, Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) holds an audience spellbound like few boxers in recent history. He even loves to sing, particularly after his bouts — albeit with more enthusiasm than skill. A man of his diverse talents is a natural for the sport’s biggest stages — and Fury is fi nally in the world’s fi ght capital on Saturday night. Sin City has a mythic allure for many Brits in gen- eral, and for nearly all boxers — including Fury, who once told himself that he wouldn’t visit Vegas unless he was fi ghting there. “Fighting in Las Vegas is an honor for a boxer, and I feel I’m ready to wear the part,” Fury said. “It suits me down to the ground.” After starring in London, AP Photo/John Locher Tyson Fury, of England, speaks during a news conference on Wednesday in Las Vegas. Fury is scheduled to fi ght Tom Schwarz, of Germany, in a heavyweight bout Saturday in Las Vegas. Dublin, Düsseldorf, New York and Los Angeles, the Manchester native fi nally gets his Vegas debut against Germany’s unbeaten Tom Schwarz at the MGM Grand Garden. The 6-foot-9 Fury has already captured the atten- tion of American fi ght fans with his performances state- side, none bigger than his theatrical rise from the can- vas in the 12th round to earn a thoroughly entertaining draw with Deontay Wilder at Staples Center in his last bout six months ago. Not many observers expect Fury to need similar recuperative powers against Schwarz (24-0, 16 KOs), who has never fought any- one close to Fury’s stature. But Fury still intends to put on a show. “It’s very different, but it’s what I was born to do,” Fury said of his fi ghts on the other side of the Atlantic. “I was born for U.S. fi ght- ing. The British are very reserved. For a confi dent, brash talker like myself, you have to come to America to be appreciated. I always wanted to be here as a boxer. Now that I’m signed with a big U.S. TV station, it’s my time to put on great shows.” In the wake of Anthony Joshua’s stunning loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. two weeks ago, Fury says he is appro- priately wary of the 6-foot-5 Schwarz, who hits hard enough to change any fi ght with the right shot. But Fury accepted this bout to stay sharp while he waits for a chance at the world’s other two elite heavyweights — actually, make that three after Ruiz’s shocker. Fury and Wilder couldn’t agree to an immediate rematch after Fury signed with co-promoter Top Rank and muddied the political situation with Wilder, who moved on to stop Domi- nic Breazeale in the fi rst round last month. Fury set- tled on Schwarz for his next showcase in promoter Bob Arum’s quest to turn him into a household name in the U.S. While Fury has a history of offensive public state- ments, he has behaved much better with his substance abuse problems apparently behind him following a 2 ½-year spiral in the wake of his shocking victory over Wladimir Klitschko. He also takes pride in lessening the stigma around public discus- sion of mental health issues, including depression. “People don’t talk to me about boxing anymore,” Fury said. “It’s not what I talk about with people. They talk to me constantly about mental health, because peo- ple are suffering. They feel it’s OK to approach me and speak to me about it. I get millions of messages from all over the world, people constantly talking about my problem. I’ve become an ambassador for mental health in sports.” Fury doesn’t have the raw knockout power of Wilder or Joshua, and he won’t prom- ise a knockout of Schwarz. He plans to use his elite box- ing skill to earn a victory that will keep him on track for bigger, fl ashier stateside fi ghts in the near future.
