Tyson Fury insists Cristiano Ronaldo has peaked

Despite his outstanding stats, the 37-year-old had a tough year after being released by Man United and being benched against Switzerland in Portugal's round of 16, 6-1 victory. The WBC heavyweight champion suggests that Ronaldo has peaked.

After a controversial departure from Manchester United, the

Portugal

captain led his side to the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup for the third time in their history. However, in his side's 6-1 victory against Switzerland, he gave his spot in the starting line-up to Ramos, who scored a hat-trick in the game. Heavyweight Box champions, Tyson Fury warns

Cristiano Ronaldo

that soon or late "age will get you".

Tyson Fury told

talkSPORT

:<em>

"At the time, beating Klitschko was the Everest.

"I was the heavy underdog, people thought I was going to get smashed to pieces, and he was the unified champion for 11 years and at some point, he thought he was unbeatable.

"But I went over to Germany and beat him. In this game, it's not about how much better somebody is than the other person.

"A lot of it has to do with natural stuff, like age, and at 38 years old, you are on the decline - whether you want to admit it or not.

"If you look at Cristiano Ronaldo, he's 37 years old, he's had the best doctors, the best physiotherapists - he's lived like an egg in Mr Kipling's cake.

"But even Ronaldo is on the slide now.

"So even someone who has looked after himself like that, it catches up to you - so, imagine a boxer who has been punched to pieces for the last 20 years!

"The age factor will not wait for anybody, no matter how you've lived.

"Whether you've never had a drink in your life, if you've never run on any hard surfaces, no matter who you are, age will get you eventually."
