Turki Al-Sheikh says he will talk to the recently retired Tyson Fury about his return. He says he wants to give ‘The Gypsy King’ “while” to be with his family before discussing the fight with him.
Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) could still be unhappy with his recent loss to unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on Dec. 21 in Riyadh. At the post-fight press conference, he was in complete denial, refusing to accept that Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) seriously beat him in his 12-round unanimous decision win.
A childish reaction
Tyson claimed that he won by three rounds, and many of his fans supported this misconception by saying the same thing. Interestingly, Tyson also felt that he won the first fight with Usyka. He just thinks the referees pissed him off and is bitter about it.
Part of the retirement was a classic ‘Gypsy King’ reaction, as if to say, ‘You won’t have me to kick any more.’ He is in the full state, to be passive-aggressive to punish the boxing world for not giving him a win over Usyka.
It’s so childish, but utterly predictable from Fury. He wants his needs met by the victory he is given, and cannot accept defeat with a rigid upper limit like most mature adults. He can’t process defeat.
“First of all, this kind of decision must be made by the fighters. Of course, as a boxing fan, I don’t like it,” Turki Al-Sheikh told talkSport Boxing about Tyson Fury’s retirement.
“We want to see Tyson in more big fights, but I can understand his situation. You never know, time can change a decision like this. I will support him and talk to him about it. I will leave him for a while to be with my family and then we will talk about it.”
Luring Fury back
It is obvious that Fury will fight again. When it’s Turkish waves millions under his nose to fight Joshua, he will come back and act like his old self. Tyson loves money too much not to come back and grab that money for AJ’s fights.
