On December 3rd, 2022, Tyson Fury will make his return to boxing in a trilogy fight against Derek Chisora in the ring. In the month of April, having fought Dillian Whyte, Fury hung his gloves and took a temporal retirement from boxing. However, with Oleksandr Usyk beating Anthony Joshua for the second time, ‘The Gypsy King’ announced his comeback to the ring.

Prior to Fury, Deontay Wilder, on October 15th made his return to heavyweight boxing. In an extraordinary performance, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ dismantled Robert Helenius with a first-round KO inside the Barclays Center, Brooklyn. Recently, in an interview, former rival Tyson Fury revealed his honest thoughts regarding the Wilder vs. Helenius fight.

“I don’t know anybody who could do that to Robert,” said an appreciative Fury. “Robert’s been around for a long time. And he’s lost a couple of fights, yes. But he’s never been cut down like that someone hit him with a mini-digger in the face,” he added with a smile.

While Fury was still speaking, the reporter informed that Wilder had landed only three punches in the whole fight. Without any sure sign of surprise, The Gypsy King said, “Yeah, that’s what Deontay needs. Incredible, incredible athlete, fair play.”
