After his win against Dillian Whyte it felt as though the heavyweight was giving a eulogy for his career
in front of a crowd of 94,000. Fury had stopped Whyte with a withering uppercut in the sixth round but he had since been to the dressing room of his vanquished opponent to “give Dillian a kiss and a cuddle”.
Those last two anonymous words, said with wry acknowledgement of his own vulnerability, were preceded by a pause. But then Fury was up and running again. “I’ve got balls like King Kong, the heart of a lion and the mindset of the Wizard of Oz.” He grinned like a slightly demented wizard and then nodded. “It was a very special night. What a way to top it all off.”No one, it seems, really believes Fury will be able to give up boxing. Earlier this week: “Boxing is my life. There is nothing else.
“There’s a lot money to be earned,” Fury agreed, “but I come from fuck all, I come from nothing. It’s never been about money. I know a lot of people with big money but none of them are happy. It’s not even been about belts or legacies for me. It’s not been about anything but punching a … face right in on the night. That’s all it’s ever been about.”
