Usyk started boxing at age 15, not 5. Why was AJ wasting his teens selling drugs and getting in trouble with the law? Is he stupid?
2 years ago he did an interview complaining that he has had a hard fast route and Fury is so much more expieranced than him. Yet in terms of RING TIME they are actually very similiar. (making excuses expecting Fury to beat him - mental midget) Fury didn't have some long extended amateur career and he didn't have a promotion powerhouse behind him for his whole pro career. He could barely get fights or sparring. AJ could have started boxing from age 10 and it still wouldn't make a difference. AJ clearly accepts he is flawed and it burns him that he cannot change it. He has made weird excuses instead like he hasn't been in boxing long enough or he is a new special breed who isn't built for stamina. Tyson Fury didn't have stamina for many years of his career. He didn't move very well either...but he has had an EXPONENTIAL improvement over years - at heart though he is still a big dog trench fighter who will find a way to win or die trying. He had no business even being in that 3rd Wilder bout and won on shear will and determination. THINK ABOUT THIS - Tyson Fury met David Haye as an amateur a kid, David Haye disrespected him and Tyson Fury thought to himself "I'm going to rip this mans heart out one day" He also trained with Wladimir Klitscko and beat him up in a Sauna, Wlad refused to sparr this young Fury...and Fury promised the world he would take claim to the division and save it from Wlad...he did that at 25 years old. Only 5 years earlier he was going life and death with McDermott gassed out in 4 rounds winning on pure guts and heart. That is a champions mentality. That is true inner belief. That is something very rare and very special. Muhammad Ali had that. Fury only has one crux a giant crux a weight he has to bear for his entire life and that he is bipolar as anything it's likely he will either get retired by the sport or find a way to cut his life short as terrible as it is to say. Fury's story is a thing of beauty but it probably won't have a happy ending.
He's just an inexperienced Olympic gold medalist, two time heavyweight champ with over 27 pro fights, that's only trained for a mere 14 years Still very green, a baby in the sport.
