Tyson Fury Exit: Why fans believe the heavyweight department is better off

Tyson Fury confirmed last Saturday he will not come out of retirement to resume his career. He had second thoughts about returning to challenge Oleksandr Usyk for his heavyweight titles, mentioning that he had seen “Gray” in his beard. Vanity made in rage do not return.

Fans say “good riddance” to rabies

Some fans on social media believe that the sport is better off without rabies (34-2-1, 24 kos) in it, as he has been a terribly bad champion in his two periods as a heavyweight world champion. Furthermore, many felt that the main focus of ‘The Gypsy King’ was to do so Line his pockets with gold without fighting the best fighters. He was only in him for the money.

It’s not like Fury tries to fight the best anyway, except usyk. That is because the huge purses that Turki Alalshikh gave him.

“Never,” Tyson Fury said to Sky Sports this week when asked if he would have returned to sport after retiring since last January. “Too old, look at my beard, all gray. Boxing is a young man’s game. “

Fury’s Reigns Reigns was criticized

In the second period of Fury as a heavyweight champion, he defended his WBC titles and circle against these fighters: Dontay Wilder, Dillian WHyte, Derek Chisora, and Oleksandr Usyk. That is, Fury picked up his titles, taking an easy fight.

Usyk fighting was supposed to be an easy one too due to the huge size advantage of Tyson. It didn’t realize until it was too late how talented Oleksandr was. If he had known, he would never have fought with him. Usyk would have been treated in the same way that other heavy weights beyond Tyson, fighters such as Anthony Joshua, Agit Kabayel, and Joseph Parker.

His best career victory against Gwladimir Klitschko, 39, came in 2015. Fury held IBF, IBO, WBA, and Ring World titles short. Then he balloon up to 400 lbs and was not seen inside the ring until 2018. Let himself go completely. When he came back, he fought a ragtag bunch of weak heavy weight, one of them Dontay Wilder, a paper champion.

Fans made a big deal out of his two wins over the WLGC Wilder champion, without realizing that he was never a good champion at first. He was only a guy who had raised a world title against a weak champion, Bermane Stiverne, and his milking with 10 successful title defenses against soft opposition before losing to Fury.
