He had his 15 minutes, now he can join the ranks of the other one-hit wonders, too scared and/ or un-fit to get back in the ring.”
People not giving a toss whether he retires? He's been trending on Twitter all day...
I hope he does get himself together. His behavior has been erratic due to his mental health, but some of us remember what a tremendous talent he is - doing things the right way, becoming champion on these shores, fighting eliminators before beating Wlad away in Germany comfortably.
I'm sure he would've preferred tapping Charles Martin on the nose and winning the belts though. Apparently doing that makes you incredibly popular.
I'm pretty sure a mentally unwell man isn't "too scared" to get back in the ring either. Think people need to educate themselves on the subject. Billy Joe Saunders seemed genuinly worried about Fury on his iFL interview today. People should be getting behind Tyson instead of giving him even more grief, especially as he is clearly very fragile atm.
