TYSON FURY sensationally revealed his “heart is not in boxing” ahead of his trilogy fight with Derek Chisora.
The WBC champion defends his belt on December 3 against the man he has twice beaten in one-sided fashion.
Tyson Fury revealed his ‘heart is not in boxing’ ahead of his trilogy with Derek Chisora
Their unexpected trilogy came after proposed super-fights with Oleksandr Usyk, 35, and Anthony Joshua, 33, broke down.
And Fury – who only announced his boxing retirement in April – admitted he is lacking motivation ahead of his return.
He told Carl Frampton for BT Sport: “I’m boxing today for no reasons, for no gain, for no goals.
“So it’s like I’m treading water and until I meet someone who’s very hungry, who’s not treading water and doing it because they need to put food in their kids’ stomach and pay their bills, then that day is going to be a say day for me, isn’t it.
“So, my heart is not in boxing, but I have nothing else. Without boxing I am nothing.
“Even though I’m a multi-millionaire and a family man, great, that’s all aside.
“But my passion and my love affair has been with boxing from a child and I can’t let it go.
“I am here today to say I am a very, very, very selfish person, because I should have walked away in April when I said I was going to walk away.
“And I’m back for more punishment, an idiot really, but what can we do?”
Fury, 34, claimed he was walking away after knocking out Dillian Whyte, also 34, at Wembley but retirement lasted a matter of months.
But the fear of falling into depression, like he did after first winning the belts in 2015, has brought him back to the pain game.
Fury confessed: “For the four months I was retired, I’ve never felt so back to 2016, 2015, 2017, ever before since then.
“But I was back in that moment in time when life was very dull and very dark and there was no way out for me again.”

How to box effectively
Boxing is one of the most popular sports in the world. It is made up of two competitors who aim to knock the head off each other. There are different rules for boxing, and they vary from one country to the next. There are generally three types of boxing: Amateur, Professional, and Olympic.
Amateur boxing is often practiced at school, college, or university. This type of boxing allows sparring without protection. Amateur boxing competitions usually last three rounds and last five minutes each. There are many types of amateur boxing: Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
Most professional boxing takes place in gyms, clubs, and stadiums. They use protective equipment, such as mouthpieces, nose guards, shin protectors, elbow pads knee pads, waist belts and groin protectors. Professional boxing competitions have six rounds that last four minutes each. There are many types of professional boxing. These include Boxing (MMA), Kickboxing (Mixed Martial Arts), Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
Olympic boxing is performed at the Olympics. Special protective gear must be worn by boxers to ensure compliance with international standards. The competition lasts for eight rounds, each lasting three minutes. Olympic boxing has only two styles, Light Flyweight vs Heavyweight.
Boxing is based on the following skills:
- Punching techniques
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- Movement of the body
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spares
Punching Techniques
There are seven types. 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 different combinations. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of 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. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers have many options for stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Sparring
Sparring is a practice session designed to improve boxing skills . Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
