Tyson Fury is a British heavyweight boxer who has held multiple titles over the course of his career. He is ranked as the best active heavyweight boxer by ESPN. Even his father was a boxer and had a professional boxing record of 8-4-1. Fury’s record is much more impressive, a 33-0-1. He recently fought British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora and beat him for the third time, the previous two meetings coming in 2011 and 2014.

Wayne Rooney is arguably one of the best players Manchester United has ever seen. Breaking through the ranks of Everton, he was quickly scouted and signed by Sir Alex Ferguson. He has made 393 appearances and scored 183 goals for United in the Premier League. He currently manages DC United in the MLS.

Tyson Fury absolutely destroys Derek Chisora

Fury and Chisora had fought before in 2011 and 2014. Fury had defeated Chisora in both previous encounters. In 2011, Fury won by unanimous decision with scores 117-112, 117-112, and 118-111. During the second fight in 2014, Fury won by corner retirement in the tenth round. Yesterday, Fury once again came out as the winner, winning by TKO in the tenth round yet again.

The fight was fought at the billion-dollar Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London. Fury retained his heavyweight title in the tenth round. It was clear by the ninth round that Chisora had lost the bout, but the 38-year-old fighter came out for another round. It did not take long for Fury to finish the match once the tenth round began, with the referee stopping the fight, and awarding the win to Fury.

Wayne Rooney comments on Fury’s win

Wayne Rooney spoke to talkSPORT afterward, regarding Fury’s comprehensive win over Chisora. He was ringside during the match, and said, “He’s the best we’ve seen for a long time, I don’t think anyone will beat him. He’s an absolute legend, his skills are incredible. Being honest, I probably think he should be knighted.”

The ex-Manchester United forward wanted Fury to be knighted because of his services to the sport of boxing. Rooney continued his praise for the heavyweight champion, “He hasn’t been afraid to go abroad, he’s won titles abroad, defended them abroad. He sums up and optimizes everything boxing is.” 

Although Fury had hinted at retirement earlier this year, he came out and fought Chisora. Additionally, Fury said he might be part of some other fights in the near future. Despite his outstanding record, there are many who feel Fury is not one of the greatest boxers in history.
