Rio Ferdinand sends Anthony Joshua message over Tyson Fury retirement

Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand doesn't think Tyson Fury will retire from boxing before facing Anthony Joshua.

Fury is rated by many as the best heavyweight boxer on the planet, along with one of the standout pound-for-pound boxers around. In his last fight, he made it back-to-back wins over the big-hitting Deontay Wilder, cementing his legacy as a generational competitor.

Fury faced Dillian Whyte on Saturday at a sell-out Wembley Stadium and added to his stellar reputation with a stunning knockout win. The Gypsy King said ahead of the fight that he thinks this bout will be his last too, although that assessment was disputed by his father.
