Undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury abruptly and officially announced his retirement on his 34th birthday.
This news was also confirmed by WBC Chairman Sulaiman, which brought people to the most anticipated professional boxing history, the closest to a heavyweight four organization united war.
"Gypsy King" Fury announced that he was immediately ending his boxing career after challenging White with a clean up-and-out hook at WEMBLEY Stadium in April after challenging him with a clean up-and-out hook.
But the dust has not settled for a long time, and many people think that this is the trick that Fu Li deliberately uses in order to win the attention of boxing fans, and also increases the space for commercial hype, making enough chips for the follow-up heavyweight united front, so no one believes it.
Currently known as the first of his heavyweights, Fury is just one step away from the undisputed heavyweight champion (the four organizations recognized by WBA/WBC/WBO/IBF).
On August 20, the current WBA/WBO/IBF boxing champion Usik is about to hold a second match with former triple crown champion Joshua, and many boxing industry insiders have analyzed that Usik has a high chance of winning.
Fury's team had already approached Usik's team to prepare for a united war by the end of the year.
Usik also said that there was no problem with the match against Furi, "God allowed the united war to happen" and that the game was about to become a reality after the game.
This will produce the undisputed heavyweight champion in the history of professional boxing, so it is highly anticipated. However, just now, the 34-year-old boxing champion suddenly announced his retirement.
"Many thanks to everyone who has helped me over the years in my career, after a long discussion I finally decided to leave on my 34th birthday, and I would say it was a smooth ride." Fury wrote on personal social media.
At first, many thought Fury was joking, but after WBC Chairman Suleiman confirmed that his heavyweight fighter, Fury, had just talked directly about retirement, Fury's retirement began to come true.
"Having just finished a touching video conference with Tyson Fury, who has confirmed his official withdrawal from boxing, we fully support his decision, which is anyone's dream to retire with an undefeated record and become the WBC World Champion. The WBC Boxing Organization will soon be preparing a special farewell event! ”
Suleiman tweeted confirming that Fury had ended the sport. Thereafter, the WBC heavyweight champion gold belt will be vacant.
In fact, Furi is already a multi-millionaire worth 80 million US dollars, and there is no need to struggle.
In addition, in the field of professional boxing, the four recognized boxing organizations are WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, in the entire century of professional boxing history, no one has yet annexed the heavyweight four major organizations at the same time.
Former boxer Ridick Bow once won four gold belts for WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO, but did not win them at the same time.
Fury is the second heavyweight boxer to have received four gold belts, but he did not merge at the same time, and successively took all four major organization gold belts, so There is nothing to prove for Fury.
Furi once said:
"I don't have any more goals to pursue. I've won all the gold belts in the world, I've broken all the records, in my time, no one has won all the gold belts except me, no one in my time is the champion of the four major organizations, only I've taken all the heavyweight boxing champion gold belts. ”
In addition, Fury's retirement may have another reason, first of all, someone analyzed that Usik's speed and reaction were obviously above Furi, so Fury would lose the game late.
He was also beaten into a concussion during the three battles with Wild, and Fury was very scared and worried about his health.
Fury, who won the match twice in a three-match match against former boxer Wilder, was also knocked out twice during the period, and in an interview, Fury said:
"After I KO Wild, I went back to the dressing room and I suddenly found that I had an egg-sized bag on the back of my head and my head was swollen so badly that I was both amnesiac at the time and how many times had I been knocked down? 4 times or 2 times? Later I thought about it and was knocked down 2 times. I promised my wife to retire and play Wild was my last battle, and then I chose White, and then I retired. ”
It is speculated that after Furi's retirement, it is possible to emulate a cross-border battle between boxing champion Ali and Antonio Inogi in 1976, and in 2019, Fury overthrew the "monster" Braun Strøman in Saudi Arabia to win the WWE (professional wrestling) debut.
