‘The Gypsy King’ often stepped into the ring to deliver incredible performances before announcing his retirement in 2025.
With wins over the likes of Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko, Fury will go down as a modern hero and one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
Although the highest-profile wins of Fury’s career are often the most spoken about, sometimes his most impressive outings are overlooked. This includes a 2019 bout against an undefeated fighter.
Tyson Fury would bounce back from Deontay Wilder draw against unbeaten fighter
In December 2018, Fury had potentially the biggest fight of his career to that point. Taking on Deontay Wilder, Fury was forced into a remarkable moment of recovery to earn a draw against the champion.
Although the fight result was inconclusive, Fury and Wilder did not have an immediate rematch, as the British fighter changed his focus to Tom Schwarz.
Schwarz was an undefeated fighter at the time with a professional record of 24-0. Fighting out of Germany, Fury would be the biggest test of his career.
However, there would be a clear gap in quality when the pair stepped in the ring in June 2019 in Las Vegas.

Tyson Fury had a masterful performance against Tom Schwarz
Although Schwarz may not be the most prolific name on Fury’s resume, ‘The Gypsy King’ had a mighty performance against the German.
Controlling the action in the opening round, Fury was able to up his performance in the second round.
Although there was additional pressure and output from Schwarz, Fury’s defensive game was on point in the fight. As he was pressed against the ropes, Fury evaded the punches of Schwarz in some incredible moments.
In a move that resembled Muhammad Ali’s rope-a-dope technique against George Foreman, Fury made space for himself before delivering crucial blows.
After scoring a knockdown on Schwarz, the commentator described the performance by Fury as a ‘masterclass.’ Although the German got up from the knockdown, Fury would pile on the pressure, earning the stoppage victory.
