IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois believes Tyson Fury should retire after losing to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch last Saturday night in Riyadh.
Dubois didn't come right out and say it, but Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) looked old and faded as Usyk schooled him for 12 rounds. The Ukrainian talent never had to shift into second gear, outdoing Gypsy King in front of a deathly silent audience at the Kingdom Arena.
After the fight Tyson didn't say if he would retire or not, but apparently he will be back in the ring for two fights against Anthony Joshua in 2025. There is too much money for him to make in that 'Battle of Britain' match to cut it.
Tyson Fury's net worth is estimated at $160 million, and while he doesn't need to go on, he's sure to add another $100 million to that total. There is the greed factor.
Dubois calls for retirement
“Fury had a great career. I think it's time to stop it,” said Daniel Dubois for Secondsoutreacting to a very old Tyson Fury being beaten once again by Oleksandr Usyk last Saturday night.
It would be great if Dubois could dispatch Tyson in style by fighting him. This would allow the young talent to use the old lion to increase his star power. If the gypsy king wanted to be helpful, he would have allowed Dubois to take his scalp.
Fury's fans denied his defeat, believing he had done enough to deserve the win. They are joking. He lost, and he looked terrible the whole time. He was beaten with three-punch combinations by Usyk when he tried to punch him late in the fight and did little more.
It's been YEARS since Fury has beaten a half-decent fighter. The last guy with a shred of talent that Gypsy King defeated was Deontay Wilder in their trilogy match on October 9, 2021. That victory is highly uncertain, with many believing Fury won long count in the fourth round when he was eliminated. Deontay isn't a great fighter, but it's Fury's best win in three years.
It has passed smoke and mirrors with Fury for years, with him being a bad fighter and his gullible fans praising it, believing him to be the best. He's been rolling their eyes for the last 14 years of his career, and they're none the wiser.
