Tyson Fury has said he will not reverse his decision to retire, announced on Saturday after his victory over Dillian Whyte.
At 33, the “Gypsy King”, who is undefeated (32 wins, one draw), had announced in advance that this match would be his last. But with him, it is always difficult to discern the true from the false. A few minutes after his victory against his compatriot, he confirmed it in front of 94,000 spectators, who were already seeing a unification fight against the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, holder of the WBA, IBF and WBO belts or against the other Briton Anthony Joshua.
“I wanted to go to the top, with a bang. Nearly 100,000 people at Wembley, a victory by KO: we will not forget the Gypsy King (the gypsy king) anytime soon, and no amount of material goods or money will bring me out of retirement because I am happy. , said Tyson Fury in comments transcribed by AFP.
“It’s the truth, the truth of the Gospel, nothing but the truth, I’m done, he assured. I am happy and healthy, I still have my head, I can talk, I have a beautiful wife and six children. I have I don’t know how many belts and a lot of money. I have success, fame, glory. What more could I have?”

“I leave by being at the top, rejoiced the one who must face the star of the UFC Francis Ngannou in 2023. I am undefeated and only the second heavyweight world champion in history who retires without defeat. It’s not a question of money. For many people, all that matters is money, more and more. I have enough money for everything I need.”
“I have been traveling all over the world for boxing for ten years, he recalled. When will I take the time to be a father and a husband, a brother, a son? I need time for myself.”
