Tyson Fury gave us some great nights

Fury Wilder III is one of my favourite fights of all time. All 3 fights were entertaining actually.

 

He definitely did. Wilder trilogy was a banger, first Usyk fight was fantastic too. Whyte fight was a spectacle. Him singing American Pie and Walking In Memphis and walking out to Patsy Cline and AC/DC is timeless. Too bad he messed all of this up by behaving like a d*ckhead after his "retirement" in 2022.

 

When he made his comeback in 2018, Fury was very active — boxed six times in a little over 18 months, including two fights with Wilder. Since February 2020, he’s only boxed another six times, and therein lies the problem.

When he came back he breathed life back into the division and the sport. But once he won the title back and the big money followed, so did the inactivity. No promoter is going to put him out there three times a year on what he wants paying. It now requires either Saudi backing, huge stadiums, or PPV… and often all three together.

If promoters put their biggest names out three times a year for the purses they expect, they’d all go bankrupt. The demand isn’t there, and fans won’t stump up for PPV after PPV and stadium fight after stadium fight. Even now we’re already getting a PPV about once a month — if all the top names fought three times a year, we’d be looking at a PPV every single week.

So it’s difficult for anyone to truly set the sport alight for an extended period nowadays, and it’ll only get worse — unless the Saudis monopolise the sport and then reduce the purses.

 

The Wilder trilogy was great but fighting Whyte and Chisora was poor and then he got done by a "gap tooth middleweight midget", twice. The homeless aren't homeless anymore though thanks to his generosity, he gave his fight purse away to help the homeless, what a man.

 

Drug cheat, compulsive liar, fibs about giving money to charity and calls himself a mental health ambassador but calls people ugly bog eyed so and so’s.

Was great seeing the ‘middleweight’ have him wobbling all over the ring.

 

The best British Heavyweight in the era post Klitschko and pre Usyk by a country mile.

Some great nights

 

I don’t think you can criticise him fighting Whyte. He was WBC mandatory at the time. Chisora on the other hand was total shite.

 

Plus universally recognized Top 5 contender.

 

He certainly gave MMA fans that hate boxing a great night against Ngannou.

 

All of that is true but it started with Fury removing the Wlad Klitschko heavyweight domination of 11 years and 22 fights.

 

Great nights, but threw all good reputation away when he chose to fight Chisora on PPV, glad Usyk sent him packing.

 

Personally I have never really enjoyed his career, I can see why people have but his antics in and out of the ring have meant I have never really took to him.

 

A very good fighter who is way overrated.
He has been entertaining at times yet not acted or behaved like a champion.

Very mixed viewing of Fury who contradicts himself a lot but he has provided good nights along the way. He definitely has a personality anyway.
