Tyson Fury has admitted he will need "mental help" when he actually quits boxing after a short-lived retirement following his win over Dillian Whyte earlier this year.
The world heavyweight champion has declared he "doesn't have any goals or ambitions" left in the sport, but can't quit altogether due to his love of fighting. He comes from a family of boxers which includes dad John, uncle Peter, cousin Hughie and brother Tommy as well as uncle Bartley Gorman who was a bare-knuckle legend, and has been around the ring his whole life.
He hit his lowest ebb mentally during a three year absence from 2015 to 2018 after winning the world title from Wladimir Klitschko in Germany, before losing over 100lb and getting back in shape to dethrone Deontay Wilder in 2020. He claimed earlier this year that he was retiring after defending his belt for a second time against Whyte, but is already talking about two upcoming fights.
