When Tyson Fury Challenged England’s Lucy Bronze to a Fight by Mistake

• Tyson Fury loves to fight and will gladly challenge opponents face-to-face or via social media
• Fury once tried to challenge Deontay Wilder but accidentally called out Lucy Bronze instead
• The English footballer found the funny side of it and apologised to fans for not being available

Tyson Fury isn't afraid of any man, but how would he do against a woman?

The WBC Heavyweight Champion almost found out, when he hilariously challenged England football star, Lucy Bronze by mistake.

Give Me Sport reported on how Fury made the challenge in 2014, while attempting to call out Deontay Wilder.

Why Fury wanted to fight

The undefeated British boxer was scheduled to face Derek Chisora in July of 2014, but the latter pulled out of the fight through injury. Fury, who was desperate to still have a boxing match, attempted to call out America's Deontay Wilder.

Why Lucy Bronze?

The Barcelona Femini star goes as @LucyBronze on Twitter, while Wilder goes as @BronzeBomber on the social media network. In his haste to call out Wilder, Fury mentioned the wrong Bronze, with his tweet containing a few swear words and the phrase: "I want you punk."

Lucy Bronze reacts

Fury realised his error, and followed up his tweet with an explanation that he had tagged the wrong person. As reported by The Mirror at the time, The Three Lionesses' defender saw the funny side of the incident and even responded.

"Sorry to let everyone down, but I'm unavailable for a fight," she joked.

Fury would eventually get his wish of facing Wilder, as the two met for the first time in 2018, in a bout which ended up a draw. He would go on to beat The Bronze Bomber in their two rematches after that.

Fury calls Usyk 'little sausage'

Tyson Fury doesn't hold back his punches and he doesn't mince his words, Sports Brief has reported.

The WBC Heavyweight champion defended his title against Derek Chisora and immediately called out his next opponent.

Fury is expected to fight Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in a title unification bout next year. Usyk holds the WBA, WBO and IBF titles and was in attendance for Fury's defence against Chisora.
