Fury Retires: Where’s The Whimpering?

Tyson Fury announced his retirement on Instagram today, letting his followers know that he is ending his 16-year professional career. It was a predictably melodramatic move by the Gypsy King after losing to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time on December 21st. I predicted this childish move. Man, I can read that guy like a book.

Fury made a ton of money with his bulk A fortune of 160 million dollars. So if he’s serious and not doing this to lure Turki Al-Sheikh into paying him $100 million + for his next fight, he’s done well with his career.

Good Riddance

With limited talent, Fury took his win against a washed-up 39-year-old Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 and turned that win into amassing a huge fortune. What a big crowd.

I wonder why Fury didn’t start whining during his retirement. That would be classic. I still can’t forget how he was on the verge of tears when interviewed after being booed after winning a controversial decision against ‘Big’ John McDermott in their first fight.

If this is a real retirement and not a fake one, I’d say get over it and don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Fury. It’s nice to get rid of some weak fighters who have been given a high place by the naive mob that follows him.

Usyk proved that Fury is a fraud

Like Fagan from Oliver TwistFury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) looked awful in his recent loss to Usyk. He could not do anything in that fight and was forced to retreat. All instructions given to him by his well-meaning trainer, SugarHill Steward, were completely ignored as he could not follow any of them. Fury has never been one to follow instructions or adapt during fights. Not very listenable.

“I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It was great. I loved every minute… See you on the other side,” said Tyson Fury Instagram in his retirement announcement today.
