Tyson Fury was accused of ‘cyberbullying’ on Christmas Day but left one rival alone
Published
1 month agoon
This could be a arduous Christmas for Tyson Fury. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” returned home from Saudi Arabia following a crushing rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk, seemingly dashing any hopes he had of unifying the heavyweight division one day.
At 36, Fury’s future is in doubt and the holiday season could be a time of contemplation as promoters clamor for a long-awaited fight between him and Anthony Joshua, albeit with no belts on the line.
Regardless, Fury has undoubtedly lost his status as the No. 1 heavyweight of his generation. And it’s a far cry from Christmas two years ago, when his dominance in the league was so perceived that in one Christmas joke he was even accused of bullying his rivals.
Just three weeks after defeating Derek Chisora in London to retain his WBC title, he posted a photo on Instagram of himself standing with other boxers including David Haye, Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder. But this was not an ordinary image of world-famous fighters.
Fury stood under the Christmas tree surrounded by five children. However, the youngsters’ faces were photoshopped using a boxing quartet instead, and Whyte was particularly mocked when his head was placed on an apparently diminutive child, who Fury was holding in his arms.
Just eight months earlier, Fury had demolished his British rival at Wembley Stadium, stopping him in the sixth round of a one-sided fight. The Christmas card sparked mixed reactions from fans, with the Morecambe man widely accused of “cyberbullying” and hypocrisy after previously defending himself as a supporter of mental health awareness.
Some also questioned why the photo included Haye and Joshua, whom Fury has not fought in his career. But most importantly, there was no room in the photo for the man who had inflicted Fury’s only professional defeats since then.
By December 2022, Usyk held three heavyweight belts, securing consecutive victories over Joshua. Fury, however, regularly downplayed the prospect of the Ukrainian potentially unifying the division, scathingly criticized his apparent lack of size and often called him “cruiser weight.”
It’s unlikely we’ll see such a cheerful festive gesture from Fury this time around. He has been inactive on social media since the unanimous points defeat in Riyad, although he complained about the referees’ decision at the post-match press conference.
His celebrated Christmas Instagram post may yet backfire if he faces “AJ” in 2025 and is defeated. This would mean he was facing retirement as he had only actually beaten two of the five boxers he considered “daddy”.
As for Usyk, a man who is essentially impossible to intimidate, he is unlikely to be cowed by any social media taunts after he humorously responded to claims by Fury and Frank Warren that he received “Christmas gift”. “Uncle Frank, I think he’s blind,” he replied, chuckling.
“If Tyson says it’s a Christmas present, then OK, thank God, not Tyson. Thank you to my team.”

However, he recently published a video on his social media platforms.
Usually, Fury divides clips promoting their next fight or showing his demanding training system, but this time he chose a different path. On Instagram Fury announced a great competition in which fans could win Mercedes SL55, stating: “Hi boys, Tyson Fury HERE! Sign up to the Ring magazine today and get a chance to win SL55. All the best. Good luck and God bless you. “
The recent post led some fans to the wrong belief that Tyson Fury planned to return, with comments such as: “I thought that the return” and “I really thought there was no pension when I saw this movie.” Another enthusiast added: “I was hoping for a video back! Return to the Tyson ring! “
In fact, Fury enjoys a family trip to Disneyland Paris with his wife Paris and their seven children. “Gypsy King” devoted himself to the magic of the amusement park, sharing experiences from driving on cups with his daughter Valencia to watch the parade, along with characters such as Jessie from Toy Story. Paris captured their gleeful moments and published them on social media, noting that “their faces were worth chilly.”
Despite the full pleasure of the visit, the Stoic word of Fury while driving on the cup, made available on Instagram, was particularly comical, showing the boxing master holding its strenuous surface, even among the whim of Disneyland.
