On April 24, Beijing time, WBC heavyweight (more than 91 kg) boxing champion Tyson Fury, in front of 94,000 live spectators, in the sixth round KO challenger White, once again defended the golden belt.
After the end of this game, many martial arts fans are very concerned about whether Fury will retire after playing this defending battle, as he said before the game. After the game, Furi still said that he would retire, but according to the internet report, his father John Fury said in an interview with the media before the game that he did not pay too much attention to what his son said, if Furi did not have boxing, there would be no other favorite things, and his speech was easy to exaggerate. Fury's promoter Arum also said that Fury will definitely not retire now.
After KO White, Fury, despite his retirement, expressed his hope in front of the media that he wanted to fight UFC heavyweight (120 kg) champion Nagano. In the match of the day, Nagaano also came to the scene, in the last match with Gain, Nagano suffered a leg injury, has been recovering after the operation, and it can be seen from the video that he was a lot fuller on the days without the game.

Nagano had always wanted to compete in the boxing ring, and he had always thought that the salary given by the UFC was too pitiful. And Fury often interacts with Nagano, and unlike the previous Mayweather and Mouth Cannon who used to look at each other unfavorably, Fury and Nagano should be more harmonious. Nagaano also said at the scene that he would definitely duel with Furi to determine who was the first fierce person on the earth.
Nagano also revealed that the match will use mixed rules, and they will wear MMA boxing holsters for a boxing rule match. At present, Nagaano has not renewed his contract with the UFC, and he and the UFC only have a few months left in the contract, and some media speculate that Nagano's move is to avoid the UFC to get more paid.
In the post-match press conference, Fury bluntly said that although he retired from professional boxing, it did not mean that he did not play exhibition matches, and he hoped to earn more income through exhibition matches like Mayweather. It seems that the impact of the money war between Mayweather and the mouth cannon has not disappeared to this day. However, if Furi and Nagano both surrender their titles, it is likely to weaken the commercial value of this game to some extent.
But Furi and Nagano are both heavyweight champions, with the title of the strongest man in their respective fields, and the title of the first fierce man on the earth is also very interesting. Although Furi has delicate boxing skills, but the MMA boxing set is more penetrating, it is difficult to form an effective defense with the boxing sleeve, and it is not yet known whether Nagano, who has the first heavy punch of the UFC, can kill the teacher with a random punch.
In short, the battle between the two may not be as hot as the crossover battle between Mayweather and Mouth Cannon, but it will also be one of the most interesting matches of the year.
