Fury has defended his title twice
There may never be another heavyweight like Tyson Fury. At 6 foot 8 the boxer ia a marvel of modern heavyweights by his height alone, add that to the fact that he has the most un-athletic looking body being able to bob and weave among the hardest hitters in boxing, Fury will definetly go down as one of the greats in Heavyweight boxing.
Tyson Fury is an inspiration to all as he was able to get back up when his life hit rock bottom and made a point to let others know that as long as he can do it, anybody should be able to. Be it his classic performance againt Vladimir Klitschko in his backyard or his absolute showcase of a trilogy against Deontay Wilder, Fury has given moments to be played on boxing highlights for years to come.
Hence it was a great shock to many when Fury decided to leave the competition right when he was starting to claim his spot as the top dog in heavyweight boxing. Though Fury and his family have announced on many previous occassions that the heavyweight will be featuring in his final professional bout, this seems to be final. Right after his title defense against Dilian Whyte, Fury would announce in the post fight interview that he would be hanging up his gloves at least professionally to focus on other things.
To this extent he even bought out UFC Heavyweight Champion, Francis Ngannou announcing that the duo intend to face each other in a possible exhibition fight later this year. While Francis seems to be on the edge of leaving the UFC, a bout with Fury, a money fight in all regards is exactly what the cameroonian native has been looking for. Though many doubt the viability of Francis’ skills inside the boxing ring a good amount of MMA fans and some curious boxing fans are sure to pay up in order to watch these two fight.
Tyson Fury insists that he will be staying retired
Tyson Fury hasn’t been doing anything to make the retirement rumours believable on his part. When compared to another combat sport legend who quit while on the top, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tyson is much more active in the gym, with sources saying he has atleast two trai ning sessions a day.
Addressing these rumours, Fury posted a story to his instagram where the fighter confirmed that he indeed had two training sessions a day. He however confronted the return rumours saying, “I heard that I was supposed to come out of retirement, that’s news to me.”
Fury also said that as far as he’s concerned he’s staying retired for the forseeable future. While a bout againt Oleksandr Usyk is what everyone is hyped to see, Fury does have the opportunity to have lucrative fights against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua and even a returning Deontay Wilder.
