    It's about time. Only a failed test and 6 years late...

    If that was his "first defence" it was a pretty good effort, a very good challenger.

    Fury was robbed in 2018 fight with Wilder, should have been WBC champion since then.

    Technically Fury has defended his lineal heavyweight title 3x.
    Which is also ironically more prestigious than any alphabet strap.

    AJ racked up his first two "world title defences" against Breazeale and Molina, after winning his "world title" from Charles Martin.
    Stats don't mean anything without context and footnotes.

    Technically, he has defended the lineal belt seven times.

    Lol.

    First time since 2015. Congrats to Fury on a classic win last night.

    "Let's go champ!" Onto Whyte then Usyk.

    I ain't gonna lie I was literally bawling my eyes out like a baby when The Gypsy King aka the King of Tuscaloosa took to the mic to treat his public and newfound fans to this breathtakingly gorgeous rendition of the Marc Cohen classic ''Walking in Vegas'' after making his first defence of his HW title

    Technically, one loses all claim to the lineal title upon retiring.

    The man is special. We're all lucky to be living in his time and witnessing his career play out, because we won't see one quite like him ever again.

    He never formally retired.

    Historically, it's not at all unheard of for a heavyweight champion to go years between fights.
