Paris Fury's telling reaction to Tyson Fury's retirement claim caught on camera

New footages has captured Paris Fury appearing to mouth "no chance" in response to her heavyweight husband Tyson's retirement claim.

The 'Gypsy King' made his UK homecoming in front of 94,000 fans where he dispatched title challenger Dillian Whyte with a brutal sixth-round stoppage. After the fight, Fury announced to the record crowd that he remains focused on hanging up his gloves despite the prospect of a fight for the undisputed titles next.

However fresh footage has captured Paris' reaction when Fury announced his promise to his wife to retire and return to spend time with his family. Fury's wife appeared to shake her head and mouth "no chance" in reaction to her husband's announcement of calling a curtain on his career.

She could be suggesting that Fury is unlikely to call a halt to his career and will continue to ply his trade in the iron square. Equally she could have been uttering the words in response to claims that he may step in the ring again for another time after previously promising he would stop fighting after his trilogy with Deontay Wilder was complete.

Fury confirmed he has now completed every ambition he had in the sport after fulfilling his promise to fans to return to the UK. . "I promised my lovely wife Paris of 14 years that after the Wilder 3 fight, that would be it," he told BT Sport after the fight.

"I meant it, we had a war, it was a great trilogy and I meant that. But I got offered to fight at Wembley at home and I believe I owed it to the fans, every person in the United Kingdom to come here and fight at Wembley. Now that it's all done, I think this is it, this might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King. What a way to go out, a big thank you to the United Kingdom!"

Do you think Tyson Fury will retire? Let us know in the comments section below

Fury claimed previously he was uninterested in any fight with the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk later this year. However he promptly performed a u-turn after confirming he would consider a return to the ring in a crossover bout against UFC star Francis Ngannou.

Fury's wife Paris had previously told Tyson to retire after any fight against Joshua has been completed. She has now admitted that it will be impossible for the champion to turn down the option of a unification battle. She told BT Sport : "He has nothing left to prove - that's the thing, if he had anything left to do I would say Tyson, you do it. Unless he really wants to box on - for fame or money or whatever - he doesn't need that. Tyson is the most famous man on the planet tonight.

'I know in my heart that the only reason Tyson would come back is for a unification fight and that would be the only reason. He has nothing left to prove."
