Tyson Fury posted a short clip of himself today, celebrating the anniversary of his first fight against ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Deontay Wilder from December 1st, 2018.
Saved by the Count?
There wasn’t much to celebrate, as it was scored a 12-round draw. For Fury, that was a victory in a way because he got a lucky break in the 12th round. It was a fight that many fans believed that Fury was saved by the referee Jack Reiss, who surprisingly gave a count to him after he was knocked unconscious in round 12 by a right-left combination from Deontay.
The image of Reiss standing over an unconscious Fury giving a count was bizarre. One doesn’t see that kind of thing in fights any longer. Some boxing fans felt that Tyson was given special treatment by being given a count while he was knocked out. The way I see it, that fight should have been stopped on the spot, and a medical team rushed into the ring.
“When you’re as accomplished as I, there’s always anniversaries. So, today, seven years since me and the big ‘Bronze’ dosser fought in Los Angeles, California,” said Tyson Fury on X, celebrating today the anniversary of his first fight with Deontay Wilder in 2018.
“I have a picture of us doing a little dance. There we are, me and Deontay Wilder, on December the 1st, 2018. Oh, how time flies. Happy anniversary to me.”
Fury Can’t Let Go
This is a continuation of the retired former two-time heavyweight champion, Fury, as he nostalgically replays the events of his career. At 37, ‘The Gypsy King’ appears to be living in the past, the way a much older person would.
Last week, Fury posted a video clip, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his victory over Wladimir Klitschko on November 28th, 2015, in Düsseldorf. He made a big production about the win, thanking Wladimir for helping pave the way for him to become a wealthy multi-millionaire.
