Tyson Fury makes Floyd Mayweather comparison as he reflects on retirement plan

Tyson Fury has admitted that he may have a Floyd Mayweather-esque retirement, with the WBC heavyweight champion revealing that he may never be able to fully give up on boxing.

The self-styled 'Gypsy King' will face Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night as he hopes to continue his unbeaten record of 32-0-1. This comes after a year where Fury, 34, has hinted at retirement multiple times, even surrendering his lineal Ring Magazine title back in August ahead of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk, with Usyk winning and claiming the belt.

Fury did not retire, however, and in the wake of Joshua's defeat to Usyk tried to negotiate a deal to fight 'AJ'. A deal could not be reached and Fury subsequently secured a fight against Derek Chisora which takes place on Saturday, December 3rd.
