World champion Tyson Fury does not want to return to the boxing ring. But is that really the last word? In previous years he had already announced many things that were no longer valid a little later. In the boxing scene, Fury's statements are treated with extreme caution.
The eternally rowdy boxing star Tyson Fury has once again declared his active career over. This is what the heavyweight champ did via social media in celebration of his 34th birthday. "A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to my career over the years. After long, hard discussions I have finally decided to leave and on my 34th birthday I say 'bon voyage'," wrote the Brit. He did not give a reason for his change of heart.
Only at the beginning of the week did he repeatedly announce a comeback. A third duel with compatriot Derek Chisora was planned, it had been said. This now seems obsolete, although Fury's resignations should be treated with great caution. In April he said goodbye after successfully defending his world title against Dillian Whyte. Even after that he kept playing with the possibility of a return in interviews. He had announced many things that were no longer valid a little later.
For example, Fury had noted that a unification fight against world champion Alexander Usyk was conceivable if he defeated dethroned champion Anthony Joshua (Great Britain) on August 20 - for a record purse of $ 500 million. The undefeated Ukrainian Usyk holds the WBA, WBO and IBF belts, while Fury, who is also undefeated in 33 fights, has held the WBC title to date.
He had played his last fight on April 23 at Wembley Stadium against his compatriot Whyte. He won by technical knockout. in the sixth round. Fury has 32 wins (23 knockouts) in 33 professional fights in his career. One of the three duels against Deontay Wilder from the USA ended in a draw.
