Tony Ferguson has vowed to make Salt Papi \u2018p\u2014 blood\u2019 in a foul-mouthed rant at his upcoming boxing opponent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UFC<\/a> legend is switching the octagon for the Misfits Boxing<\/a> ring on August 30, and is not happy at all with his opponent, whom he claims didn\u2019t back up his words at their pre-fight press conference. <\/p>\n

He took great issue with being told he would be knocked out, only to be met with respect from the quiet Filipino in person. And in an exclusive chat with Bloody Elbow, he finally let his true feelings be known just weeks out from the fight.<\/p>\n

Tony Ferguson tears into Salt Papi in vicious rant<\/p>\n

Salt Papi<\/a> is no stranger to the wacky world of influencer boxing, but he may have his hands full with the wildcard that is Tony Ferguson<\/a>. He appears to have angered the legendary former lightweight champion by predicting a knockout win, but refusing to back that up when they met in London last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cF\u2014 him, he p\u2014ed me off,\u201d Ferguson told Bloody Elbow after suggestions their fight was not particularly heated in the build-up. \u201cThat dude, that f\u2014ing guy said he was going to knock me the f\u2014 out and you know what? You can\u2019t go back on your f\u2014ing word.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care how real or fake you are when you\u2019re in front of me and you don\u2019t want to have the f\u2014ing balls to say that you\u2019re going to knock me out? I don\u2019t give a f\u2014 motherf\u2014er, you\u2019re going to see the real El Cucuyi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to go in there and do what I\u2019m going to do. You\u2019re going to be so f\u2014ing afraid. I\u2019m going to hit you so hard I\u2019m going to make you p\u2014 f\u2014ing blood because you said it and you\u2019re going to answer to your f\u2014ing words.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow you\u2019ve got the real me and that\u2019s a scary f\u2014ing guy! You don\u2019t want that f\u2014ing guy and you\u2019ve got that guy coming right towards you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony Ferguson is laser-focused on Salt Papi fight after ditching UFC for boxing<\/p>\n

Despite understanding that there will be massive opportunities available with a win, Ferguson is refusing to move his focus from Salt Papi. Even the mention by Bloody Elbow of a potential clash with Conor McGregor<\/a> at the White House next year didn\u2019t move him past his next challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not looking past this right now,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve got my sights set on Veruca Salt, that\u2019s the homie right there. You guys watched Willy Wonka? That kid\u2019s like \u2018oh daddy I want a boat like that\u2019, no motherf\u2014er.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou ain\u2019t a BOAT [Best of All Time], you\u2019re never going to be a f\u2014ing BOAT. You\u2019re going to be fighting the BOAT and you\u2019re going to have your hands full come August 30 man, it\u2019s going to be interesting man.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tony Ferguson has vowed to make Salt Papi \u2018p\u2014 blood\u2019 in a foul-mouthed rant at his upcoming boxing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,124568,23034,115980,79,107109,5706,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-352886","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-mams-taylor","10":"tag-misfits-boxing","11":"tag-salt-papi","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-tony-ferguson","14":"tag-ufc","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115046925251685173","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
