Eddie Hearn doubles down on Tyson Fury retirement prediction after Dillian Whyte KO

Eddie Hearn does not expect Tyson Fury to retire from boxing and instead believes the champion will face the winner of Anthony Joshua 's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

The 'Gypsy King' defeated Dillian Whyte with a sixth-round stoppage to retain his world title last month before confirming his plans to hang up his gloves. Fury is expected to be pushed to make a decision over whether he will vacate his belt with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman planning to open talks shortly.

Boxing promoter Hearn previously branded Fury a "bluff merchant" over his claim he would retire from the sport and predicted he would remain in the sport. The Matchroom kingpin has now gone one step further and suggested Fury is unlikely to vacate his belt.
