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.

‘The Gypsy King’ has already defeated Chisora on two occasions and defeat Deontay Wilder twice in a trilogy to seal his spot as arguably the best heavyweight of his generation. He also bested Wladimir Klitschko over 12 rounds in Germany to aid that argument, but Geller believes he could hold the keys to unlocking hidden potential.
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.”
