Former Heavyweight Champion Explains Easy Way To End Tyson Fury's Undefeated Streak

Tyson Fury remains the top fighter in the heavyweight division despite being 34 years old, but a former king of the aforementioned weight class is making it public that the Brit boxer is not as invincible as he looks and that his opponents have made a mistake in their pre-fight game plans.

Former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe recently spoke with iD Boxing and practically dismissed the thought of Fury ever giving him a challenge had they met in his prime.

"The thing is, if he's jerky-jerky with me, I'm going to pop him and guys aren't doing that... I'd have jabbed him; then I'd have stepped in and broken a rib or two. Guys aren't going to his body. They're letting him stand strong, he's keeping his posture, and, as the rounds go on, they aren't breaking him down," Bowe stated.

"They're not busting his heart, stopping his liver. You've got to do the things that will make him tired. They're not doing that."

In a way, Bowe's criticism of Fury's round of opponents can be deemed correct as "The Gypsy King" had been facing heavy-handed punchers who gun for his head.

His most popular opponent in Deontay Wilder was a headhunter throughout their entire trilogy, Dillian Whyte was the same and even Derek Chisora showed little improvement in their own trilogy of fights.

Arguably, Fury's most polished opponent that could have taken advantage of Bowe's advice is Wladimir Klitschko.

Though it was a high-stakes bout that had both fighters being more cautious to throw and land massive bombs at one another, it was still an iconic fight in their respective careers.

Klitschko admitted after the fight that he had difficulty landing his patented right hand against Fury because "the advantage was the longer distance he had," he said in 2015.

Slowing Fury down is a crucial part of any game plan in trying to hand him his first loss ever, but as is in many things, it would be easier said than done.

Despite Fury sporting a dad bod to the ring, he is as agile as they come and while it is still surprising that he has been able to retain a big chunk of his speed at this age, aiming for his head is a near-impossibility because of his great head movement.

For an opponent to beat Fury, their best bet would be to keep moving forward, bob and weave through the hits, get into his face and go after the body–as Bowe would suggest.

It still remains to be seen which fighter will take up Bowe on his advice, but many are of the opinion that Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk would be the one to hand Fury his first-ever loss sometime this year after reports suggest that an amenable date to for both men has been found to host their mega-bout.
