Trainer Peter Fury says former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) will be returning to the ring.
Unfortunately, Peter did not say precisely when the 28-year-old Fury will be returning. Peter can definitely say that the 6’9” Fury is coming back, which would be technically true, but it might be a long time from now before he gets back into the ring.
Boxing great Muhammad Ali lost 3 years of his career from March 1967 to October 1970. Ali had failed to be inducted into the U.S armed forces. The good news for Fury is he probably won’t be out of the ring for as long as the great Ali. Fury is still young at 28. Ali was out of action from age 25 to close to 29.
Fury hasn’t fought in 2 years since his win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
If Fury doesn’t fight until 2018, then his time out of the ring will equal that of Ali.
Fury may not be as great as Ali, but, he is a decent heavy that uses his height and reach to get the better of his opposition.
