After knocking out challenger Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium, London, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) announced his retirement from boxing. The end of his career “Gypsy King” confirmed in a post-match interview in the ring.
“As you know, I promised my beloved wife Paris that after the fight with Wilder, I’m done. But I was offered to fight at Wembley, at home, and I think that this fight should have been for all the fans in Britain, ”Fury said. – I think that’s all. This could be the final curtain on the career of the “Gypsy King”. What a great excuse to leave!”
Given that Fury now has a golden opportunity in the fall to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, it’s time to seriously doubt the finality of such a decision.
At the end of July, a rematch between IBF/WBO/WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk and former owner of these titles Anthony Joshua will take place.
The winner of this meeting was believed to go against Tyson. We are almost certain that this will be the case, and that after some time Fury will say that he “owes this fight to his fans in Britain.”
Here’s another expert’s opinion on whether Fury will leave or not. The boxer’s father also claims that we saw Tyson in the ring for the last time.
