Tyson Fury has had an insane career 34-0-1, and either he or Usyk (21-0) will be losing a zero on their record and gaining every heavyweight boxing belt in existence. I came upon this thread by Twitter user Ocelot_MMA. shoutout to them for piecing together a perfect Twitter thread that encapsulates Tyson's career. From a young wiry dude with hair who reached the top of the mountain and beat Klitschko, who then battled depression and addiction to start a second act of their career. Many debate Tyson Fury should have at least 2 losses but check out his career and judge for yourself. It's just great to root for a fat dad-bod dude to beat the brakes off world-class athletes with 8% body fat. 

After being on top of the world, he went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Culminating in him having serious mental health problems that he overcame: it's an amazing story that anyone can learn so much from. 

And now for the second act of his career:

I can't wait to watch this fight, the best part is the ring walk is going to be around 6 pm ET, so I don’t have to watch it at 3 am after staying up all night lowkey boozing trying to make it to the fight. Here is all my gambling pics for the fight #dkpartner 1-800-Gambler
