LAST FIGHT:
An impressive two-round blitzing
of Germany’s Tom Shwarz hopefully
achieved two things: Firstly, the
exhibition makes Fury a top attraction
in the USA and, secondly, it should lead
to the sacking of whoever in the WBO
ratings committee sanctioned Schwarz’s
placement at No. 2 in the world.
NEXT FIGHT:
With a rematch against WBC champion
Deontay Wilder in the offing for early
next year, Tyson is expected to return on
September 28 in New York. The disgraced
Jarrell Miller is among the favourites to
get the gig even though he should not
be allowed near a boxing ring. Sadly, in
2019, it’s sellable. Add to that Fury likely
bamboozling Miller and you can see why
Top Rank would make it.
BEST ATTRIBUTE:
Aside from the charisma he oozes when
in the right mood, Fury’s boxing skills are
the best in the division. He gets the most
out of his 6ft 9ins frame while remaining
light on his feet, and can whack when
he plants them. That ability to switch
stances at any moment might just be the
ace in his pack. Oh, and having Top Rank
overseeing his development in the USA
isn’t too shabby, either.
WORST ATTRIBUTE:
Reliance on his reactions. He can lose
concentration, he showboats too much,
and, on occassion, he stands square on. All
minor gripes but even Schwarz tagged him
a few times.
TRAINER:
In Ben Davsion, Fury has found the
perfect match. Plenty doubted the young
coach when he was initially installed, but
he has exceeded all expectation.
COULD COME UNSTUCK AGAINST:
Wilder. Though Fury contained him for
much of their 2018 bout, he failed to
when it mattered the most. But perhaps
the biggest rival to Fury is Fury himself;
the former heavyweight champion must
retain his desire and focus and not get
distracted outside of the ring.
HALL OF FAME BOUND?
If he beats Wilder next year you might as
well start engraving the plaque.TYSON FURY
