Tyson Fury Says Title Struggle Vs. Usyk Is As Huge As Wilder, Klitschko Bouts

Years later, and after establishing himself as one of the best fighters in the world, Tyson faced Deontay Wilder in one of the best trilogies in boxing history (first fight ruled a draw, Fury won the second and third bout).

We also asked Tyson about his legacy … and the importance of being an undisputed champ.

“I’m not interested in legacies and being the best ever or not. I’m just interested in living for today, and living for now, and what’s in front of me Saturday night is Usyk. Even after that, I’m not really interested in what people have got to say, whether they want to rank me or don’t rank me or whatever. It doesn’t really mean much to me at all,” Fury told us.

“What I want to be known as is a good parent when I’m finished. I wouldn’t want to be known as a boxer. I want to be known as a good father, a good husband, and a good son. That’s a treat to me. Boxing is like a job. Whether I was good or bad at my job, I made a s*** ton of money at it. I’m providing for my kids and that’s what it’s about as a father.”

Family is obviously super important for Tyson … so we also asked him what it means for him to have his son by his side.
