, ‘I can’t quit’ – Tyson Fury fears he’ll be boxing until his FIFTIES as he says unbeaten record WILL come to an end

TYSON FURY fears he may be boxing towards his FIFTIES and is on course for his first loss as his boxing addiction grips tighter than ever.

The 34-year-old WBC heavyweight champion has toyed with retirement so frequently that nobody took seriously his most recent April vow, after the brilliant Wembley KO of Dillian Whyte.

Tyson Fury is set to face Derek Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next month

And he now wants to fight three times in 2023 — after dealing with Derek Chisora on December 3 at Tottenham’s stadium — and has given up giving up.

The father-of-six reckons his career is headed down the same long and winding road as Panama legend Roberto Duran, who finished his iconic career as a 50-year-old super-middleweight.

Fury told Carl Frampton for BT Sport: “I can’t quit. I am going to be like Roberto Duran because I don’t know anything else.

“I am going to mess up my undefeated record because it means nothing to me anymore.

“I used to think being the undefeated heavyweight champion, like Rocky Marciano, would have floated my boat.

“But now I know why all the greats get hurt — because they never let it go.

“How many times can you play with fire before you get burned?”

Fury insists Anthony Joshua’s shock decision to reject his chance of a voluntary title shot is the end of their “non-rivalry”.

“The future is bright and I am going nowhere.”

Punching Techniques

There are seven types. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches need more power than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.

There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination may contain several parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this by using his legs.

Legs

Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.

Elbows

Hands

Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.

Knees

Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.

Feet

Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.

Body Movement

A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.

Rotation

Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.

Combinations

The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
