Will Fury quit boxing again before facing Joshua?

[OnlytheTruth]

Nope, why would he? Sounds like you're hoping so.

Fury is unbeatable and the GOAT. Deal with it.

Youre a troll. Be gone.

Hero worship is a good thing per se but you have to keep your feet on the ground. Fury the GOAT? That’s funny no matter who you are.

[QUOTE=just the facts;20802140]Like you, I’m not really a fan of either but Fury didn’t quit boxing. He fell into the rabbit hole known as substance abuse but he climbed his way out and that should be applauded not mocked no matter who you’re


I'm a Wilder fan but have nothing but respect for Fury's comeback trail. More people should see the real struggle there and it's not winning fights!!!

The only reason Fury won against Klit is because NOBODY took him seriously. He had no significant wins prior to Klitschko. Klit didn't take him serious. It was all Fury to go at 300% and prove he can beat Klit and he did. It was rather boring win but he did.

Then he goes looney because he himself can't believe he's heavyweight champ. Comes back with some farce fights, just survives Wilder, goes on to beat Wilder, and now what? He's got a lot more to do.

False narrative that only exists in your mind.

The majority didn't take Fury seriously but many of us knew what was up.

And Wlad got thoroughly schooled. He was dead in the water. A 12 year reigning undisputed champion doesn't simply "not take him seriously". It's taking all challenges seriously that made him a long reigning champ and ATG in the first place.

Would have been interesting to see it the second time around though?

Winning a one off is one thing, doing it again cements your legacy and Wlad certainly seemed confident enough to go for the rematch without hesitation.

What would the betting odds have been for the rematch?

And that's what leaves me doubting Fury. He's never cemented anything. A win here, a retirement there, a good performance then a dull one. A reasonable exhibition, then should have been stopped on cuts. A great comeback, then arguably a duck.

At some point he needs to prove he's a great, rather than a short term number one ranked fighter. He claims a legacy without having done the bits that get you there.

First time around, after beating Wlad, he melted down. Call it mental illness, but in the face of pressure he gave up.

Second time around we've got COVID. But where's Fury? If Wilder is the one delaying the fight then Fury can walk away. He's free from fighting a fight that isn't needed for his legacy.

Still no defences.
