Two weeks ago, Deontay Wilder fought in what many boxing pundits consider to be his final fight, regardless of whether he ever steps into the ring again. The Bronze Bomber is a far cry from its former self, its glory days are long gone. Now the same question We're talking about Tyson Fury.
of Johnny Nelson, the longest-reigning cruiserweight champion in historyNelson spoke about the first fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk and the upcoming rematch on December 21. Speaking to Sky Sports, Nelson said:Tyson Fury chose the wrong tactic. Has he learned his lesson? If that were the case, I don't think it would have the same outcome. We saw him succeed at it midway through the match. My biggest concern up until that point is how motivated Tyson is to take on this rematch. I know Usyk out-fought him once. Tyson is an incredible historian of our sport. For him to understand that. It will be very difficult for him to regain his confidence.. “
Fury's career It is characterised by a dramatic comeback and an indomitable will to overcome adversity. His 2015 win over Wladimir Klitschko and subsequent struggles with mental health and substance abuse are well-known. The Fury-Wilder trilogy cemented Fury's reputation as one of the best heavyweight fighters of his era.But this latest defeat may have put Fury at a crossroads.
Nelson continued: “Tyson is one of the best all-around athletes. Fighter there. He's a good boxer, a good fighter, but unfortunately, he can be too smart. Tyson outdid himself enough to try and beat Usyk, the better boxer. not good Warriorbetter boxer. “
Fighter Self-confidence and psychological resilience determine your ability to bounce back from loss And he continues to compete at an elite level, but each time he returns he's a little more depleted. Fury has overcome adversity before, but he's never had to come back from defeat. The pressure of maintaining an unbeaten record and the intense scrutiny that comes with being a top athlete in the sport It can be a huge strain on any athlete.
“This might be a little controversial, but I think Tyson is in decline and I don't think he'll fight again. The scorecards were close, so that means you saw something you've never seen before. I didn't see it. I was leading Usyk for four rounds. Let not them say, ‘Do not believe your lying eyes.’ What you have seen is what you have seen.”
Nelson further explained his views, saying:No matter what Frank Warren says, no matter what Spencer Brown says, these are not people who fight. Tyson needs to watch that fight and he needs to think in his mind, “Oh my God!” That happened to me! I was rocked by a jumping middleweight with crooked teeth!“And Tyson's head is going to be totally fried.”
After a video of an intoxicated Tyson Fury tripping and falling outside a pub in Morecambe went viral at the weekend. Fans and critics alike will be wondering if Nelson is up to something. Maybe it was just a drunk night out with friends. If so, Fury deserves it. We've all been there, and he's worked hard for a long time. If it was a sign of the gypsy king's inner turmoil, That could certainly put his career in question.
