After a controversial night at the bar, Boxing veteran Tyson Fury has returned to the gym and recently gave a video message to Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their rematch in December. “The Gypsy King” broke his silence and vowed to avenge his defeat to the Ukrainian fighter. Fury missed out on becoming the undisputed champion after losing to “The Cat” last month, but will get the chance to avenge his win in the rematch in December 2021.
Fury vowed to avenge his defeat
After a period of silence following his defeat, Fury has vowed to make a strong comeback in a video of him hitting the heavy bag in the gym. He shouted in the video and said December was going to be his time. “I’ve done everything in boxing, but I’ll come back for more. I will relish it and come back and redeem myself. December 21 is all me. Undisputed here we come,” said Tyson.
In the caption of the video Fury stated that he has won everything in boxing-titles, records and alot, but he never had to come back from defeat. He has seen his shortcomings and believes that he is inevitable.
Fury has previously struggled with mental health issues
Earlier this week, a few videos of Tyson Fury went viral, in which he was seen being dragged out of a bar after getting too drunk. In another video, he was seen staggering outside the pub. Fury was reported to have been drunk at the local pub in Morecambe. Fans on social media questioned his behavior due to his previous struggles with mental health, which saw him go on a hiatus from boxing.

In 2015, after beating Wladimir Klitschko, The Gypsy King took a break from boxing for more than two years due to personal struggles that included battling depression and anxiety. He also struggled with substance abuse, which led to weight gain and destroyed his mental health. His boxing license was also suspended after he failed a drug test and refused to participate in further testing.
During that time, Tyson Fury was stripped of his world titles. However, the veteran eventually began a journey of recovery by seeking help for mental health and addiction. He lost weight, regained his fitness and returned to boxing in 2018.
