Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: We Gave Tyson Fury Until August 26 To Confirm Retirement in Writing

[Kzbox]

He's been behaving erratically. I think he's probably abusing psychiatric medicine, like a lot of other people. It's just another crutch at the end of the day.

What I find most boring is all this hollering into social media that boxers are doing with it not amounting to anything other than clicks from morons.

What's new though he's always acting erratically problem is people don't know where the character starts and the person begins does Fury even know anymore lol this is why im hardly shocked it was always evident Fury was never going to be a long reigning champ he just doesn't have consistency probably due to his bi-polar so can't be helped entirely just a shame as he is my favorite active boxer. Without Fury what proper talent do we have other than Usyk?

[Good ol' Douglas]

Do you not just find it tedious though? He doesn't need to "sell" anything, it's a huge fight regardless of any hollering into social media.

It definitely gives Fury more leverage in negotiations if it appears like he could retire at any minute. Which is true, he only has 1-2 fights left in my estimation.

The AJ fight is absolutely massive. Usyk though? Not really.

Not sure about "proper talent" but there are still some good fights to be made. Fury is an excellent boxer but I won't miss him. His antics have been boring for years now, just the same repetitive nonsense and the "mental health" sob story. It's hardly Ali taking a principled stand is it?

He's vacated his Ring belt, it sounds to me like you're presuming to know what's in the guy's mind contrary to his public statements. You seem like a reasonable person when you're not being provocative but it does seem like there's more hope than expectation with your position due to your obvious emotional attachment to the guy. Heroes always let you down, you'll learn that with time.

I still find his antics in the pressers/actual fight to be entertaining it's just everything else i got bored of like i don't even watch his interviews any more because u know 90% of what he says is gonna be bs. I just want him to fight i dont care about anything else man but guess thats over with. Let's hope AJ don't dip if he loses to Usyk than who the **** do we have Joyce vs Usyk again? ZZzz

It gives him the opportunity to equal Ali's record of being a three time Ring Magazine HW champion, except Fury would have done it without ever losing in the ring.

Furthermore, I would personally argue that it builds up Usyk's reputation as a champion. Hence improving the credit Fury will (or should) get for smashing him.

Certainly on paper at least, it will read that Fury returned to dethrone #1 ranked Usyk reminiscent of the position a certain Ukrainian held back in 2015...

There is a method to his madness.

I hope you're right but I think you're reaching.

**** all that man he's at the top now he should be making a proper reign as champion especially what happened after last time after all this journey since his come back the resurrection, the beating Wilders ass in the 2nd fight, knocking out Whyte easily people believe in him again now he's just pissing it all away. Even if he got 3 ring champion then what he vacates again? when is he gonna make a proper reign as champion he has abused his body and he's getting older he should be making true legacy.

[Good ol' Douglas]

Arum already confirmed talks had begun with Usyk's camp weeks ago for a fight in December or early 2023 and we know Fury is in camp right now with Parker.

I feel like what I am saying is less of a stretch than people like you speculating about drug abuse and mental instability

Champions are mostly remembered and rated for their big wins, not the length of their reigns.

Hence the disrespect Holmes and W. Klitschko receive in ATG discussions despite being objectively superior fighters to Louis and Ali, for example.

Fury will retire after undisputed regardless of all this noise. Maybe he sticks around for the AJ payday, but that is it.

Hrgovic, Joyce, Sanchez, etc. are going to have to fight amongst each other and create their own legacies.
