Sitting in nothing but a pair of tight shorts, Tyson Fury grabbed the limp part of her belly and began to shake it.
“I’m a normal-looking man,” he said, “average Joe.”
No one mixes self-loathing with self-promotion like this world heavyweight champion.
After all, moments before, Fury had racked up every title he’d ever won in a turbulent, headline-filled boxing career that could have ended with a brutal sixth-round knockout of fellow Brit Dillian Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London.
“I am very proud to have won two English titles, two British titles, two Commonwealth titles, the Irish title, the European title, WBO intercontinental, WBO international, WBO super, WBA super, IBF, IBO, Ring Magazine, lineal, WBC: I have won every belt there is to win. There is nothing more to do,” he said in the bowels of England’s national soccer stadium.
“If this was a computer game, it would definitely be complete.”
Although not quite. There is one final level that could, in the next few days, start to bother the man who says he is retiring as “the best heavyweight that ever lived.”
Could Fury really turn down the opportunity to hold all the heavyweight titles and become the undisputed world champion? He has held each of the belts at some point in his 14-year professional career — apart from a three-and-a-half-year hiatus when he dealt with mental health issues, drug use and depression during which he tried to kill himself — but never at the same time.
Beating the winner of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk, the current WBA, IBF and WBO title holder, and Anthony Joshua in a highly lucrative and legacy-defining fight would surely be the best way to retire.
Not according to Fury.
“I have accomplished everything I ever wanted to accomplish,” he said. “I will retire as the second heavyweight in history, after Rocky Marciano, to retire undefeated.
“He was unbeatable in this game.”
Fury, 33, said he gave his word to his wife, Paris, that he would step down after completing his sensational trilogy of fights with Deontay Wilder with a victory in Las Vegas in October. He wanted to come out unscathed, undefeated and on his own terms, and spend more time with his six children.
However, he was persuaded to return to the ring for a welcome fight against Whyte in front of the largest crowd ever seen for a boxing match in Britain.
With a 32nd purse win, completed on Saturday with a brutal uppercut that sent Whyte to the canvas, he gave his UK fans a knockout to remember him by.
If this is it for the towering Fury, and it still seems hard to believe we’ve seen the last of him, it was quite a run, in and out of the ring.
Ending Wladimir Klitschko’s decade-long run as champion in 2015 in Düsseldorf’s Ukrainian boxing backyard was the night it was announced to the world. But it was Wilder’s trilogy in the US, when he mixed his styles from a back-footed, pragmatic boxer to an aggressive, direct approach, that really cemented his status as the best heavyweight in the sport. last decade.
Their Links to Daniel Kinahan, named by US authorities this month as one of the heads of an organized crime gang involved in international drug-trafficking operations and firearms crime, has been dogged in recent years, especially before the Whyte fight. He has come out with some homophobic and misogynistic comments that saw him heavily criticized in Britain at a time when he thought he should be treated like a king after dethroning Klitschko. There was a retroactive two-year doping ban for having elevated levels of nandrolone in urine samples provided after fighting in 2015.
Others, however, prefer to see him as an icon for coming back from the brink: he gained weight, became a drug user, drank heavily and said he tried to kill himself after capturing the world heavyweight title for the first time, and became at No. 1 heavyweight.
He is also a born artist, singing in the ring after his fights and even attending a press conference dressed as Batman.
Above all, he is a very skilled boxer, from a bloodline of naked champions.
“There has never been anyone who could beat me,” said the self-styled Gypsy King. “You know why? My 6-foot-9, 270-pound frame can move like a middleweight, can hit like a thunderstorm, and can take a hit like anyone else. I have… the heart of a lion, Wizard of Oz mentality.
Fury says that he could be seen competing at a WWE event. He has teased a possible hybrid exhibition fight with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
However, more would want to see him fight Usyk or Joshua.
“I’ve given it my all…and put it on the line every time,” Fury said, “but enough is enough.”
