Farcical triumph for flabby Fury

-

A blubbery Tyson Fury clowned his way through his first fight in more than 2 1/2 years on Saturday but still outclassed Sefer Seferi, who retired after four farcical rounds in Manchester, England.

Fighting for the first time since claiming the world heavyweigh­t title from Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, the 6-foot-7 Fury tipped the scales at 277 pounds and looked slow and rusty in improving to 26-0, with 19 KOs.

Seferi (23-2), a career cruiserwei­ght from Macedonia, tried in vain to reach Fury’s head with sluggish uppercuts.
