Boxing expert, Johnny Nelson predicts that Tyson Fury will not use his rematch to fight Oleksandr Usyk again after losing to him last Saturday night. Anger will not risk further embarrassment.
Nelson feels that Fury will look at his performance in the fight, especially in the ninth round, when the referee saved him when he was about to be taken out. If Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) sees his performance, he will retire. Johnny says Fury knows he didn't win.
Wealth and pride factor into Fury's decision
Nelson points out that Fury is a rich man, and he doesn't need to fight anymore. He is proud and he will not want to continue the game if he is not up to his standards and being beaten. Having a bank account full of dough will make Fury's decision to retire easier.
“Tyson, I think he can do better? Unless he's going to be stumbling the whole fight, yes,” said Johnny Nelson in a Secondsout when he was asked if he believes Tyson Fury can do better in a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
“He said he thought he had won. I don't think he believes that,” Nelson said of Fury. “I know there is a repeat clause. I don't think that will happen. How is Tyson going to be able to get his head off that, especially when he's looking at the ninth stage when he looks at his performance? “
Fury must suspect right now that his abysmal performance against Francis Ngannou was a sign that he is no longer the fighter he used to be. If there was any doubt left in Fury's mind about where he was, Usyk answered it.
Rumors that Fury is being dumped and managed by different partners are now more believable after watching how bad he was against Usyk.
Nelson Doubts Fury's Resurgence
“I don't think he will [take the rematch with Usyk]. I think everyone around him will because there is a lot of money involved. I think this will make Tyson seriously consider walking away from this match. He is a rich man. This will be difficult for him to digest to accept his head,” said Nelson.
I agree with Nelson. Fury will not accept being turned into a ham & egger, getting beaten badly by Usyk in a rematch, and getting the same treatment from the other heavyweights in the division.
“I think the referee saved Tyson from getting hit,” promoter Alex Krassyuk told the media, reflecting on his opinion that the referee stopped Oleksandr Usyk from finishing the injured Tyson Fury in the ninth round. “There's no doubt about that,” Krassyuk said. in a quick rematch in October.
