Bad cut needing stitches means the fight is off. A few ex pro’s been saying he’s been poor in the build up to the fight. Will he retire?
Bad showing against Ngannou which led to the December fight with Usyk getting postponed, and now this? The signs are pointing to the gypsy King dodging in more ways than one.
He's domesticated himself. Gone soft letting media into his home and showing his family man image in that documentary. It's sought of thing you do after you retire. I love what he's done to raise awareness about mental health but he's a fighter. Lost his edge.
Not much a follower of boxing. But 70% to fury of £121m expected purse. £85m even with distribution to managers etc. I'd guess leaves him with £50m from what I've read up on. 35%ish. I'm not so sure. Any boxer regardless of worth would want to throw that away. Regardless of his record. massive pay day win or lose. Reputed worth at the mo £50m. Another £50m Less tax I dont know how that works in their world. But would imagine offsets. Eg pensions. But having read this Not as big an amount as I possbly imagined. Anthony Joshua made over £80million from two fights in as many years as he was named among the highest tax-paying celebrities. The two-time world heavyweight champion paid £3.8m in tax - more than the likes of Stormzy, Cara Delevigne and Harry Styles.
I said a while back that this fight will never happen. There’ll be one delay after another and then Fury will retire.
