Fury won both their previous bouts in convincing style.

But after his stunning April KO victory against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte that saw him retain the WBC heavyweight belt, Fury shocked the world and QUIT the sport.

He gave up the Ring Magazine Lineal belt, but decided to U-turn on that decision before being stripped of the WBC strap.

And that will be on the line when he comes up against old foe Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next month.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the 34-year-old undefeated boxer said: “It was a short short retirement… being at home with six kids and a dog it would drive any man out of retirement

“Well that’s the situation I’m in right now. When I retired back in April I really meant it but then it was like I was at my lowest moment again.

“I thought to myself ‘I’m not ready to go’.”

Fury has had well-documented issues outside the ropes after suffering from mental health problems as well as alcohol addiction.

And he is keen to pay tribute to the one person who has helped him recover to reach the very top of the sport that helped save him.

“I would encourage people to get into boxing because it’s not just the physical aspect, it’s the discipline, respect and the manners it teaches you.

“All of my kids will be in the gym and learning to protect themselves.”

In June Fury welcomed another addition to his ever-growing family – a £20,000 security dog.

Fury bought the Rottweiler to safeguard wife Paris, their six kids and his home.

The heavyweight world champion used London-based Elite Protection Dogs – the company Ashley Cole recently bought a German Shepherd from.

Other dog breeds available from Elite Protection Dogs include Dobermanns and Cane Corsos.

Olympic boxing is performed at the Olympics. International standards dictate that boxers must wear protective gear. The competition lasts approximately three minutes for each round. Olympic boxing has only two styles, Light Flyweight vs Heavyweight.

Boxing is based on the following skills:

  • Punching techniques
  • Guarding techniques
  • Footwork
  • Stance
  • Body movement
  • Defense
  • Combination
  • Rotation
  • Spare parts

Punching Techniques

There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.

There are also many combinations. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.

Legs

Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.

Elbows

Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.

Hands

Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.

Knees

A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.

Feet

  • Low stance
  • High stance
  • Southpaw stance
  • Western stance

The Body Movement

Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.

Rotation

Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.

Combinations

The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
