Speaking to Joe Galli on the NWA Instagram, Tyrus said he had his knee drained after NWA Crockett Cup and was advised to take time off.

"Everything is great. I had to get it drained after the Crockett Cup. The doctor advised me to take some time off and rehab and look at the way I'm training and stuff like that. No one is in this business for as long as I've been in this business or in this sport, you're going to have some nicks and nacks and sometimes you have to listen to your body. I needed to take the time off to get right. I didn't want to come into (NWA) 75 limping. I'm coming in with no excuses, 100%, whatever happens happens. If I lose, it will only be one guy's fault, mine. When I win, it'll be one guy's fault, mine. Instead of a retirement party, we'll have an after party," he said.

Tyrus is set to defend his NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title against EC3 at NWA 75.

He recently requested the bout be a Bull Rope match and said that if he loses, he will retire.
