Geller: I’ll fight the Gypsy King

- by IWAN STONE news@dailystar.co.uk

URI Geller has challenged Tyson Fury to a boxing match after the world heavyweigh­t champion revealed he uses mind games to win fights.

The spoon bender, 71, claims his psychic powers could get the better of the Gypsy King. Fury, 34, recently revealed how he gets inside the heads of his opponents, and says he has them beaten before they get in the ring.

But 6ft Uri fancies his chances against the 6ft 9in giant. The self-proclaimed mystic said: “I don’t know how powerful Fury’s telepathic powers are but anyone who can master telepathy and knocking out or confusing his opponent is going to win. Against me in the ring – I can’t discount it but at my age...

“If I do get in the ring with

Fury I think it is going to be watched by millions of people around the world.

“I love that idea – I am offering Fury to fight me, that would be great. Uri vs Fury – to see who has more powerful telepathic powers.”

But the Israeli also offered an olive branch to Tyson ahead of his WBC title defence against Derek Chisora on December 3. Uri said he could help the champ master his mind powers and become the all-time greatest.

He added: “My message to Fury is get on a plane, come to Israel, come to the Holy Land, come to my museum. And we’ll spend a few good hours training telepathic­ally.

“Definitely he will walk out of here a much more powerful person in the realms of the supernatur­al, of mind power.

“There is no doubt in my mind.”

URI Geller challenged Tyson Fury to a fight – and reckons he could beat him with his psychic powers.

Now we didn’t see THAT coming!
