Tyson Fury has a compelling name as a boxer, and appears to have proven himself throughout his career, retaining his heavyweight world title tonight after defeating Dylian White by knockout.
The resounding fall to White's boards in the sixth round, after suffering a huge blow from the so-called Gypsie King, was the signal for the beginning of Fiori's celebrations, but probably also for the end of the colorful Briton's career.
"It's probably the drop of the screen on my career, Gypsy King," Fiori said at a news conference at Wembley, where the final fight took place.
"I was on the road too long and fulfilled everything I wanted to accomplish," he added, not forgetting to glorify himself: "I want to retire as second overall in heavyweight, after Rocky Marciano (boxing legend) as invincible. I was invincible in this game."

Fiori had 33 battles in which, as stated, he did not lose.
He has won 31 times, 23 of them by knockout, as he did yesterday against Dylian White, and finished two fights with a draw.
Having previously promised to retire, but returned to the arena again, Fiori knows he now has a deal with the toughest "rival" there is, his wife Paris, who is desperate for his retirement.
"I want him to leave the ring now," she said after the fight with White, "Tyson has nothing more to prove. If he had anything more to prove, I would support him to continue, but he has none and it's time for him to come home."
Now we'll see if he can argue with her.

Fixed!
