"Not ready to die": boxing legend from Russia explains Fury's decision to end his career

Legendary boxer Kostya Tszyu expressed confidence that Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) decided to end his career because he lost motivation. The Gypsy King, having lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs), lost "zero" in the defeat column, which affected his psychological state.

Tszyu voiced this opinion in a commentary to the propaganda publication Sport-Express. According to the Russian, Fury made the absolutely right decision and did not deceive either the fans or himself by pretending that he was still sincerely interested in holding fights.

"He probably made the right decision. When you run out of the most important thing - motivation - it's hard to get into the ring. I think he exhausted it through defeats. I think he no longer has the motivation to fight and fight. When you're not ready to die in the ring, there's no point in performing," said Tszyu.

It's important to note that Tyson has already announced his retirement twice. In 2017, he announced that he was retiring from boxing after defeating Volodymyr Klychko, and in 2022, he defeated Dillian Whyte (30-3, 20 KOs). After those announcements, Fury returned to the ring a few months later.

The network has already declassified the meaning of the Gypsy King's mysterious words, which he used when announcing the end of his career.
