Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury’s insistence that he is retired has taken a step towards becoming reality after the giant Mancunian vacated his Ring heavyweight title. He first secured the strap by beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, then won it again by knocking out Deontay Wilder in 2020.

When it comes to retirements in boxing, nothing is ever truly official. That’s especially true if the right price is on the table. Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, recently hung up his gloves after beating Dillian Whyte via TKO this past April.

When Tyson Fury won the WBA, IBF, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles in 2015, he did so against prized Ukrainian fighter Wladimir Klitschko. Now, the lineal champion is ready to do it all over again.

Tyson Fury has been ordered to defend his heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte. The WBC on Tuesday ordered Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) to begin a negotiating period to defend his belt against Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs).

It won’t be long until the Gypsy King is back in the ring. Tyson Fury co-promoter Bob Arum has said the latest Fury will fight again will be late February or early March, according to a report from the Manchester Evening News.
