Comments Thread For: ?I?d like to announce my retirement from boxing,? says Tyson Fury

[TMLT87]

Or his dream fight in Nigeria , Bakole is up for it , somehow I think Joshua will see it more of a nightmare..he'll refuse both , they are 'live'.

I doubt Fury will retire but hope he does he's fading and there's lots of new blood and exciting fights.

So in one breath you're criticising Joshua if he doesnt rematch Dubois or fight Bakole, then in the other hoping Fury, who is basically the same age and looked better in his last fight, retires rather than facing the "new blood"

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

So what you are telling us that a guy that got beat like a piñata by a short fat Ruiz and then got flattened by Dubois and lost TWICE to Usyk

Fury also lost twice to Usyk and never even fought Dubois or Ruiz. Lets not forget he should have a loss on his record to John McDermott and arguably to an 0-0 MMA fighter as well.

Now AJ is calling for the fight while Fury is "retiring" again. I would actually have Fury as the favourite for the record, but I dont think he is as confident as a lot of other people seem to be about it, never has been.

Great career, big thanks to Fury.

Its the pavement he needs to worry about.

his last fight was a close decision loss to the number 1 p4p fighter.

he can still fight if he wants

his punches dont seem to have the same pop, i would worry about that with AJ but otherwise he should beat AJ who has been very sloppy and makes a lot of mistakes.

Now if he thinks he can take a year off and party and balloon up to 350lbs at his age and then come back 2026 that is a huge mistake.

Absolutely bonkers what Usyk did in the second half of his career:

Gassiev whipped for 12 rounds and career crashed;
Bellew KTFO and retired;
Joshua whipped X2 and went bonkers;
Dubois quit;
Fury whipped X2, almost KTFO and retired.

ALL OF THIS ON THE ROAD.

I don’t think Fury is or ever has been confident of beating AJ. I don’t think he ever fancied that fight. Joshua is a headcase with a poor chin, but Fury doesn’t punch that hard, isn’t hard to hit, and Joshua would hit him plenty. Fury’s ego just couldn’t take losing to Joshua and he wouldn’t take the fight unless he was 100% sure he’d win it, which I don’t think he ever has been.

Is **** Turpin wore a mask some kind of British saying that has a meaning over there?

That Noel Fielding show ain't terrible.

I tend to agree with most of your posts so I won’t debate you on this. From what I know, Fury-AJ didn’t happen because of four reasons;
1). Wilder activated a contractual clause that forced a third fight with Fury
2). AJ was then forced to fight his mandatories. Usyk and someone else.
3). Fury was then ordered to fight his mandatory, Dylan White.
4). AJ got beat by Usyk and he also exercised his rematch clause.

I just find it hard to believe Fury ducked AJ because AJ would appear to be an easy fight for Fury.

What I will say is that if both really wanted the fight, they would have made it happen. They didn’t need belts to fight each other.

Hmmmm, with all the shyt talking it's hard to tell. I guess it's possible that Fury was just trying negotiate for a bigger cut but he certainly didn't seem like he wanted that fight. To be fair, I'll need to go back and walk through the time line.
