Tyson Fury announced his retirement following his second loss to Oleksandr Usyk. Though the Ukrainian champion was humble in victory, the same cannot be said for some of his fans.
Tyson Fury retired from boxing following two consecutive defeats to the pound-for-pound elite in Oleksandr Usyk.
The Ukrainian has now defeated many British names such as Tony Bellew, Derek Chisora, Daniel Dubois, Anthony Joshua (twice), and Fury (twice). Usyk now has his eyes set on a rematch with Dubois, whilst Fury sailed off into the sunset for what may be the last time, claiming the Usyk decision was robbery.
Since retiring, Fury has been fairly quiet, and has only posted twice on his Instagram account. One post features Fury dining with Sir Alex Ferguson, while the latest shows Fury facing off with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Tyson Fury’s post with Cristiano Ronaldo is flooded with Oleksandr Usyk comments
The post with Ronaldo marks Fury’s second since his defeat, a fact the comment section won’t let him soon forget.
Comments range from gifs of Usyk’s face to harsh words like:
“Messi and Usyk are you two’s nightmares”
“No wonder Usyk broke your face! Twice!”
“Remember those times you got whipped twice by a guy half your size? It was a thing of beauty.”
Despite this, there were some nice comments, and a good few begging Fury to come out of retirement to face Joshua. Andy Lee has shared Fury’s four-word response to fighting Joshua.
Turki Alalshikh revealed he had spoken to Fury regarding his retirement, and Joshua has made no secret of the fact he still wishes to fight Fury.
Tyson Fury shares longest message with fans since retirement
Since retiring, fans have not seen much of The Gypsy King, who is known for his loud and humorous nature.
But this morning Fury shared a video to his Instagram of him and his son going for a run, delivering an inspiring message whilst doing so:
“For my peeps who might be thinking about going for a run this morning, who might be feeling a bit down, depressed, anxietied, hungover, whatever it might be, look out there, the road is very welcoming, and there’s no feeling like it.”
Fury is known for his struggles with mental health issues following his win over Wladimir Klitschko, after which he bounced back from the brink of depression to once again claim the heavyweight crown against Deontay Wilder.
