WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) will face Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The gypsy king said that in recent months he had been struggling with several injuries, which also made themselves felt while preparing for the next fight.
“My elbows are not fully functional in both hands. I hit bags and people for so long that my hands hurt. My arms, back and everything else hurt, ”said the champion of the World Boxing Council.
“I can't box like I used to. Boxing causes me physical pain. I used to be able to balance and dodge defensively, like in The Matrix. Now I'm just trying to block punches. But I will box as long as my health allows,” Fury added.
After the April fight with Dillian Whyte, the 34-year-old boxer announced the end of his sports career. Ultimately, Fury not only returns to the ring, but also plans to have three professional fights next year.
