Although Burton lost the fight via unanimous decision, it was great to see him go to the distance with his rival. That said, Tyson Fury’s presence was not very beneficial for his cousin. However, it was beneficial for the promoters.

Considering that Tyson Fury will defend his title soon against Deontay Wilder, this could be his last appearance in a professional boxing event. Meanwhile, he will look forward to finishing his training camp and complete the paperwork to seal the deal with ‘The Bronze Bomber.’

If not, we will directly see him in an action against Wilder in December. As per reports, Fury and Wilder will face each other in Las Vegas. If things go as per plan, the heavyweight fight can happen in front of the fans. However, nothing is official yet.
