Tyson Fury is about to sq. off towards Derek Chisora December 3 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Regrettably.
Derek Chisora? This isn’t a technique to cement a legacy. Tyson Fury has fought many prime fighters, however not sufficient to forge his place within the pantheon of all-time heavyweights.
How about Oleksandr Usyk? How about Anthony Joshua? Andy Ruiz? Three guys off the highest of my head who’ve been champions. Derek Chisora is a strong heavyweight, however not one who will ever make anybody’s prime 50 heavyweight checklist.
Tyson Fury is an incredible fighter. This isn’t an incredible selection. It’s a fairly disappointing one.
Fury is 34 years outdated. After this combat, the place does he go? Sure, heavyweights can final into their late 30s, however I don’t suppose Fury is a George Foreman clone.
Did Fury and his promoters discover that Chisora has misplaced three of his final 4 fights towards prime contenders? That he fought Fury again in 2014 and misplaced decisively?
The contracts are signed, so it’s somewhat late to hope Fury has a change of coronary heart That’s tragic for boxing, and extra so for Fury’s legacy.
It seems Tyson Fury is taking the Floyd Mayweather method to ending his profession/retirement. Say you’re retiring, probably not that means it, then continuing for the following three or 4 years to combat simple fights in change for worldwide publicity and tons of money.
Boxing followers across the globe have change into used to fighters dodging top-notch competitors for simpler, large cash fights. That doesn’t imply they’ve to take a seat there and prefer it.
