On October 9, Tyson Fury put on his career-best performance. Right from the start, the Brit went all out against his American rival and he did everything in his favor to keep Wilder on the back foot. However, the Alabama native had his moments in the fight, and he took Fury into deep waters.

After going through adversity, ‘The Gypsy King’ made a roaring comeback and secured a KO win. Following his win, fans have been eager to see what’s next for him. Recently, Fury, in a chat with Telegraph Sport, shed some light on his boxing future.
