Tyson Fury’s Downfall: Age, Weight, and Wealth Hinder His Comeback Attempt

Tyson Fury fell short again last Saturday night, losing his rematch against three-time heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on the Turki Alalashikh card in Riyadh. This latest loss for Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) raises questions about whether his fights with Deontay Wilder have worn him down, leaving Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) a vulnerable shell that he pulled off a 12-round unanimous decision victory.

Fury’s fans were hoping he would use his massive gargoyle 55 lb weight and six inch height advantage to defeat the diminutive Usyk. The Gypsy King team thought they could do to Usyk what he did against Wilder in their second fight in 2020. This was probably Fury’s child.

Tyson came up with the idea of ​​gaining weight from the 262 he weighed in the first fight and try to use his size to maul Usyk like he did to Deontay 1,764 yesterday.

Age and wealth consume it

Fury, 36, could not do this because he is not the grappling, shocking fighter he was four years ago when he destroyed Deontay in four rounds. Age, obesity, ill-conceived game plan, and great wealth took everything away from Fury. Therefore, he had nothing left to protect Usyk.

The version of Fury that beat Wilder would have been too much for Usyk, but he’s not that fighter anymore. Wizard’s age, weight, and wealth made him an easy mark for the multi-talented heavyweight champion Usyk.

Usyk-Fury 2 Punch Stats

• Tyson Fury connected on 144 of 509 for 28%
• Oleksandr Usyk made 179 of 423 shots for 42%

The punch stats clearly show that Usyk is the clear winner. After the fight, Fury made a child’s spectator cry about the goals saying that he should have won in three rounds. He wouldn’t even try to be gracious about his defeat, take the high road to show some class. I just wonder what Turki Alalashikh was thinking when he watched how bad Gypsy King was.

Support of Holyfield

“Tyson Fury, great job. I know you will come back. Spend time with your family,” said Evander Holyfield on social media, trying to dismiss Tyson Fury after he was defeated again by Oleksandr Usyk last Saturday night.
