    How many title defences will fury make?

    will he stick with zero?

    or make one or two like the weakest champions of history did?

    or will he be able to put together a run of 3 to 6?

    Or more even, like HoF types?

    Might he even manage double figures like some ATGs?

    AJ currently has 7 title defences, Wilder had 10.

    Tyson Fury has never defended a heavyweight title belt, which is very very odd. He now finally has the WBC belt and is already in line for his first defence, it is crucial he does not implode and defends against AJ as well. Beyond that, if he wants a lasting legacy and beat AJ, there may be a rematch and then he needs to defend against the top, relevant heavies of his time, which may still be Whyte and which will definitely include Dubois in the future and possibly Usyk. After that he can retire.

        If Fury boxes against a Ruiz managed by Canelo Team or Robert Garcia he's finished, the question is will da fight happen? After the Deontay rematch or Joshua UK clash ?

          Undisputed trumps picking up a cheap belt and defending against 10 cans.

          Defences aren't everything, but he does need some defences. Expect he'll only have a couple but against the highest level opponents. That would count for something.

              - -And U zero in calculating ability.

              AJ consolidated 4 belts the hard way, he fought for them.

              Post dating to his first belt, 7x4=28 belt defenses.

              What grade U in?

                I feel like Fury could do zero cuz he'll fook off the belts some way or he could do 20 & retire undefeated years from now if he stays focused & active. I tend to think the reality will be in the grey area between those extremes but much closer to the former.

                    I voted 1 to 3 defenses not because he is weak but because Fury said that is how many he will make and after he made good his promise to KO Wilder I believe what Fury says and when he says he will do something I believe him. He is very rich now and will be much richer every fight so he has no need to fight much longer and risk injury that all boxers risk. I think he is the best heavyweight in the world but he should try to beat AJ to make that clear to everyone if he wins.
