In the main event of the evening in Manchester, former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (26-0, 19 KOs) successfully returned to the ring after two and a half years of layoff, defeated Sefer Seferi (23-2, 21 KOs) of Albania, who refused to continue the fight after four horrible rounds.
Seferi, who was much inferior to Fury in size, more focused on survival and at every opportunity tried to run from his opponent or desperately clinched. The referee had every reason to disqualify Seferi for the lack of activity. Fury was quite busy attacking, but for four rounds could not land anything significant, however, even this was too much for Seferi who refuse to continue the fight.
In the course of the battle, Fury demonstrated with all his might how much fun it was for him to return to the ring after a long inactivity. He walked out to the song "Because I Got High", kissed his opponent before the fight, dropped his hands from the first seconds and began grimace and smile.
After the fight Fury promised to pick up a better opponent for his next fight.
Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, said that his next fight Tyson will have on August 18, and until the end of the year will be "in the position for a big fight."
