The news was a bombshell in the boxing world. One of his legends, perhaps the two best fights of the 2024 season, said goodbye to the man who fought the role of villain. Tyson Fury, 36 years old and with a 34-1-2 record, He announced that he will not fight anymore. He is Gypsy KingA man who represented a simple way of fighting and his history falling into the abyss and takes a step with world titles under his arm.
Hours before the rematch between two evenly matched heavyweights, it speeds up 12 rounds.
“I’ll be clear and sweet: I’m retiring from boxing. It’s amazing,” he said on his social networks. Simple and clear. But with another message. “Dick Tupin wears a mask,” he said. Turpin was a famous British gangster who covered himself with a balaclava. It directly refers to theft. Yes, there was controversy in the British withdrawal. He believes he will beat Usyk in a rematch in Saudi Arabia.
I’ll be clear and sweet: I’m retiring from boxing
Fury represents a transcendent figure in modern boxing. It also catapulted the heavyweights to new heights with his fights against Deontay Wilder and Usyk to unify the all-important world title. At its core, it is a story of overcoming, falling into hell and sporting resurrection. “I have crazy ideas. In the summer of 2016 I bought a Ferrari. I was on the highway, I took the car at a speed of 300 km per hour and went towards the bridge. Everything doesn’t matter to me. I wanted to die, they ended this life, “he admitted. He immediately reconsidered. “I heard a voice. Don’t do it, Tyson. Think about your children and your family,” he said.
The trailer for the second fight and rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Saudi Arabia has been classified as “the best promotional video of all time”.
He reinvented himself by winning his fights, being controversial and selling a lot. World champion against Wilder, another relevant character, his fights against everyone. He was at his best, although his sporting finish once again suggested a planning flaw. Of late he has seriously considered dating Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, the best boxer on the planet.
Dick Turpin wears a mask
First, he wanted to fight UFC champion Francis Ngannou and won by controversy (some use another explanation) after falling to the canvas. Usyk arrives for the heavyweights’ historic unification. In his first fight he was fine, he commanded and everything changed in the ninth round. The latter is a lesser story, no matter how much is said at the end.
Is this a perfect withdrawal? The question is also haunting boxing. Almost all experts agree that a duel with Anthony Joshua will sell out all the tickets. An imaginary trio with Wembley or Usyk I wanted. For now, no. He says stop.
