To see Tyson Fury fight in the ring is a boxing celebration every time. The over 270-pound man is truly a gifted individual, a freak of nature. On The Triple C & Schmo show, Henry Cejudo and Schmo talked about Fury’s upcoming fight with Dillian Whyte.

Schmo stated that this could probably be Tyson Fury’s final fight in the boxing ring. Cejudo, however, begs to differ. He believes that Tyson Fury has a lot more action left in the tank to go toe-to-toe with various other fighters.

I think he’s, you know, dude, if I was a heavyweight, I don’t have to cut weight, I got all that, well he probably does actually have to cut because he’s a big heavyweight. Man, it’s exciting, man.

He continued, “It’s exciting because in boxing man, when you become the heavyweight champion of the world, you’re like pound-for-pound typically, you know?

He further added, “That’s how people kind of tend to see you, unless… It’s, well, it’s changed a lot with 147 pounds or 54, you know? So, but anyways, I think, he’ll end up fighting Francis Ngannou within the next year.
