‘The Gypsy King’ moved out of the ring in April this year, with a promise of never returning. He even detailed the aftermath of his third fight with the former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

In this gruesome revelation, he mentioned the injuries that were inflicted on him by one of the hardest punchers in the history of boxing. Though he stopped Wilder in the 11th round, he could not escape the power. According to Tyson, it was not easy for him to get back to the changing rooms. The two knockouts scored by Wilder had wounded Fury badly.

“I was feeling the back of my head and I had lumps on the back of my head like fists. I didn’t know if I had brain damage, I didn’t know what was up with me. I was very frightened because I had these massive swellings on the back of my head. I was thinking, ‘I could end up with brain damage.’ I was concussed, I didn’t remember anything,” said Tyson.

Speaking about his fight, Fury highlighted his moment of realization. Wilder’s shots were so ruthless and devastating that Fury actually forget that he was knocked out twice during the fight.

In that dilemma, Fury mentions, “I thought to myself, ‘You know what? I think it’s time to call it a day.’ That was after Wilder 3.”
