George Groves Predicts Fury's Next Move
In a recent interview, former super-middleweight champion George Groves made a bold prediction about Tyson Fury's future in the heavyweight division. Groves believes that Fury will either have a rematch with Francis Ngannou or retire from boxing altogether, without ever facing Oleksandr Usyk.
A Shocking Turn of Events
Fury, who had already signed to fight Usyk in a title unification match, faced off against ex-UFC champion Ngannou in what was supposed to be a routine return to the boxing ring. However, the fight turned into a horror show for Fury, as he was dropped in the third round and narrowly escaped with a split-decision win.
Will the Usyk Fight Happen?
With Fury's upcoming fight against Usyk scheduled for December 23, Groves doubts that the bout will take place on that date. He believes that Fury may choose to either have a rematch with Ngannou or retire from boxing altogether. Groves argues that Fury doesn't need to risk his undefeated record against Usyk and would rather "sail off into the sunset."
A Character of Many Possibilities
Groves also pointed out that Fury has a multitude of options outside of boxing and that losing to Usyk could close certain doors for him. He suggests that Fury could rectify his last fight against Ngannou, earning a significant payday and generating a lot of interest, or he could choose to retire.
Uncertainty Surrounding the Usyk Fight
Fury, on the other hand, has not confirmed the date of his undisputed title decider against Usyk. His promoter, Frank Warren, has stated that the fight may need to be backdated until the new year to give Fury time to rest. Meanwhile, Usyk is adamant that the fight must take place on December 23 or not at all, placing pressure on Fury even before the first bell has rung.
Only time will tell what Fury's next move will be, but one thing is for sure - the boxing world will be eagerly anticipating his decision.
