Fury comeback becomes a farce

The return of Wladimir Klitschko's conqueror turned into a farce in front of 15 spectators in the Manchester Arena. After giving up the Seferi corner, objects flew into the ring on Sunday night.

Notable hits could be counted on one hand; the much lighter and smaller Seferi (39) hardly had any qualities as a sparring partner. “I could have knocked him out after ten seconds,” said Fury after the fight, which taught him one thing above all: the exalted heavyweight, who lost more than 45 kilograms for his comeback but still has enough weight, has to wait until he gets the new world title opportunity he was hoping for Weighing in at 125 kilograms, we were still working hard.

The end of 2019 could be a realistic date for a title fight. Fury's favorite opponents would be the reigning champions Anthony Joshua (Great Britain/IBF, WBA, WBO) or Deontay Wilder from the USA, who holds the WBC title. After the victory over Seferi, through which the 2,06 meter giant Fury maintained his impeccable record of 26 wins in 26 fights, former British champion David Price also entered the conversation.

“Next time it will be better – and the opponent will be stronger,” promised the 29-year-old Fury. For the past 32 months he had suffered from depression, temporarily lost his boxing license and had to face doping allegations. Fury surprisingly ended Wladimir Klitschko's reign with a points win in Düsseldorf on November 28, 2015.
