If I have to go through Fury after my Povetkin fight - and I never look past my next fight; I am not that foolish - to get those belts, I would love to fight him next.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We know Fury likes to entertain and promote.
Fury made a name for himself in America, and as a fighter, you have to establish yourself there, first and foremost, to be known worldwide.
After you win all these belts, you cannot fight all these mandatory guys.
I don't care where I fight on the card, but to get people motivated or excited, like, 'Cowboy's fighting!' that's my overall goal.
All my prayers go out to Tyson Fury. I know it's difficult to be in his situation.
If you look at my career, towards the end you will see I was fighting like once a year. I was not part of the Don King top heavyweights, so I was kind of kept out. His guys were getting three to four fights a year and I could only get one.
Lennox Lewis is a hater of Tyson Fury.
You know looking back on it now I used the fight and after the fight as motivation, to make sure I was going to be the best middleweight in the world for a long time.
Every fight brings out something different in me, and it will be no different in this one. I have learned and gained from all of those experiences. And as I've often said, the public hasn't seen the best of me yet. I need someone like Mayweather to bring that out of me.
War hath no fury like a non-combatant.
