  • In 9 years, Fury only has 2 world title defenses against new opponents and he lost to 1 of them

    Crazy to think Fury first became a world champ in 2015. Over the next 9 years he only had 2 world title defenses against people he didn't face before - namely Dillian Whyte and Usyk.

    Sure, Fury vacated those 2015 titles without ever rematching Wladimir or having a single title defense. He failed two drug tests and got banned for 18 months so he had no choice but to vacate or get stripped. But he returned to win a title again in 2020.

    In all that time, he only defended the title twice against people he never previously faced. Ngannou doesn't count because that wasn't even sanctioned as a title fight and they were never going to let Ngannou get the W anyway, even though ironically most people thought he beat Fury too.

    9 years.. 2 world title defenses against new opponents. And one of them beat him. There's a reason Fury fought Wilder and Chisora 3 times each rather than fight a steady stream of fresh top 10 opposition...

    Fury's career is a lesson in smoke and mirrors.

          And people still wonder why I got Joshua completely sparking him out with his catch and counter style against a tall opponent ? Lol
