The clip, shared by Ring Magazine, shows Fury working on his basics. Fans reacted less enthusiastically, with some likening his aged look to that of his 61‑year‑old father, John Fury, and others noting the apparent loss of speed in his legs.
While the snippet offers only a limited glimpse of his current state, it highlights how his weight distribution has changed since his prime at 38, contrasting sharply with the agile fighter who outpointed Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
In his younger days, Fury would bounce on the outside, shift angles and compel opponents to reset. His unorthodox footwork made it tough for slower heavyweights to establish a solid base.
That version of Fury has faded. He now conserves energy, takes shorter steps and leans more on his jab, stature and clinch work. Though he can still win with these tools, his margin for error has shrunk. Recent bouts versus Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach demonstrated that he can manage slower opponents, but neither possessed the hand speed or combination punching needed to exploit his reduced mobility.
Anthony Joshua poses a different challenge. Although Joshua may be mentally fragile after being dropped twice by Kristian Prenga, his straight punches remain swift enough to punish a stationary target.
Earlier in his career, Fury’s legs allowed him to make Joshua turn, reach and miss. Without that mobility, he would stay longer in range of Joshua’s right hand. His massive frame remains one of his greatest assets, enabling him to smother opponents, disrupt their rhythm and make clinches physically costly.
Maintaining that size grows more difficult with age. Diminished foot speed also increases his reliance on grabbing after punches. An opponent who keeps his hands free and attacks during those moments can push Fury into an uncomfortable tempo.
Oleksandr Usyk has capitalized on this decline twice. Fury found it hard to keep distance as Usyk moved around him and attacked from new angles. A third bout would not regain the movement needed to alter that dynamic. When viewed alongside older footage, the Capetillo clip underscores a physical trend already visible in Fury’s recent performances.
Experience, size and ring savvy keep him competitive, but his legs are no longer the attribute that sets him apart.
